If you can avoid being pick-pocketed, sure.....


got pickpocketed in Paris by the Eiffel Tower.

A group of 4 girls came up to me begging for me sign a UNICEF petition or something, I couldn't help but oblige.

She managed to get my wallet out of my front right pocket

Oh well she got off with a $2 cheap as chips wallet and nothing in it except naked girl cards I had collected from LA. he hehehehe

******* idiots i had all my money and cards in a money belt on the inside of pants, new they were a scam after spending hours on trip advisor and just wanted to see what would happen, was very funny watching them run down the road knowing what shock they were in for, wish I could have seen there faces when they saw all the girls.

I had to belt a pickpocket in Madrid, he tried to do the old tie a bracelet onto your wrist really tight and then charge you 40-50 euro to get it off.

I told him no and then as he walked off he tried to grab my right wrist from behind which pulled my shoulder back (the one I had a shoulder reconstruction a year or two ago) natural instinct plus slight panic was to throw a massive left hook (I'm a left hander) which landed right o the sweet spot on the jaw, it dropped him to the ground, I grabbed the misses and flew through the crowd and down some side streets lol

Geez they must see you coming, I must look poor as ive never been pickpocketed or scammed in Europe. Had few scammers in Hong Kong and Bangkok try but thats all

Australians. The way they have respected Phil Hughes right the way around the world has been incredible. From all sports. We are a bloody good country.

Definately seen the best of our country in recent days. I can't remember an incident that has bought the whole nation as close as this. Will be interested to see how the sales of the Test series and World Cup tickets go in coming days. My tip is they will go through the roof....

This week's Foo Fighters Sonic Highways Episode (Part 7 in the series) the band goes to Seattle to record there and discuss the musical history of Seattle. I am in absolute awe, was really hoping they'd do Seattle!

I also rate this.

I'm not sure about you, but I take it as a mark of respect.

That's also why I rate shaking hands. I'd never shake hands with someone I thought was a ****.
