Ah, a paint girl.

For my part, I don't do room decoration at all. My room where I grew up and still grow is a white wall. When I was about 12 my father put wood on two walls (very Austrian-like).
Here in the youth hostel the wall is light brown and looks reeealy dull. But I covered some parts with posters. Very nice.

When I lived in London, the wallpaper was striped!
Always remember: striped wallpaper makes aggressive! (there I also covered it with posters...)

Any other good theories on the colour of wallpapers?

You know what? Funnily enough I like the "typical" British wallpaper with flowers. Pink if possible. That's really kitschy but I think the English have a good sense of room decoration, at least IMHO.

Once I lived in a room that had a wallpaper with a stripe of little teddy bears on it. That was soooo cute!!

Very good, FoE! You're a real expert!

*Keeping the dream alive, here (or at least the boards)*

Enjoy your holiday, Miss F!

FoE, I was very impressed by your knowledge of geologographicalology. About all I know is that Brazil is a movie, not a country, and Antwerp sounds like an insulting name you would call someone you don't like.

I'm so proud.

...that was an almost shameless "I am up to date as regards European politics"-demonstration, FoE!
You used to be more subtle...

Back from holidays. In one word, it was GREAT!!!
Ireland is so green. So green! The weather was always very wet. It didn't rain that often, but it was damp and fresh. The dark clouds on the horizon looked so BEAUTIFUL!!! And because of the damp weather plants grow everywhere and that makes the landscape even greener. We saw such a lot of this lovely country. And London was... London - no words needed I saw Kenneth Branagh again, but more of that some other time

Tell us more about the Loch Ness monster!! I didn't hear anything about it yet. The only thing I can say is: I want to believe! I really do! Wouldn't that be marvellous if there was really an ancient animal or dinosaur in that lake!!

Let's now turn to Arnold Schwarzenegger: I really really wish that we Austrians could take him back. Because if we could, I wouldn't have to see his ugly face anymore. It's true that you American's haven't sent anybody over here. But Arnold would have never grown to be so famous here in Austria - so, let's just blame the Americans again, shall we?
(I was so relieved that he didn't choose to run for Californian Governor - not with that face and that language skills... let's face it: I speak better English AND better German than this great ape and I haven't been living in the US for decades)
