What are you watching tonight?

[Bruce Rioja]

Watchdog. That immensely annoying do-goody nice person is on it again that was on something last night telling us all that those of us that lunch at our desks are about to boil in hell, the utter c*nt!

[William the White]

BBC4 again offering the most interesting... Good hour on Art Nouveau with great concentration on Britain as founder of the now-extinct movement. Excellent on Beardsley - he was so good - and led us nicely through William Morris to Mackintosh and Mcdonald with a nice hint on their influence on Klimt... to be dealt with next week...

Followed by David Attenborough with yet another chirpy defence of the great scientist couched in the anti-god mode he likes so much... (and I do too)...

Obviously, sometime soon, a major channel will broadcast something interesting...

[Prufrock]

Is Klimt the Austrian guy they are having a big shindig for in Vienna this year? 150 years since his birth maybe?

Watched BBC4 on Venice (again)... I've never been, I must do it... And then on Flinders Petrie, great name, the man who 'discovered' Egypt... Who turned out to be a brill archaeologist and another 'intellectual' fooled by the phony science of eugenics.

BBC4 once more preventing me deciding on the next book... Great channel...

Bill, honestly, no-matter where else you visit GO, GO, GO, GO, GO to Venice.

It's just other Worldly. Magnificent. You will adore it.

It can be cheap to get to, reasonable to stay in if you play your cards right (ask me) and, so long as you avoid the tourist traps, similar to here for eats.

I can't possibly do it justice, just go.

Could not agree more. An absolutely magical place that deserves a 3 or 4 night stay as a minimum. A cultured chap like you William, will love it.

Interesting... I love Italy but have never been to Venice and it's never really appealed that much... From afar, it looks a bit like an overgrown Disneyland that I imagine to be overrun by tourists, with all that comes with that. Just not part of my Dolce Vita fantasy...

I went back to Rome recently for the first time since I started having Italian lessons in November and it remains my favourite city... I'd love to live there for a bit to test whether the novelty value would wear off eventually.

Ive always maintained Rome as my favourite city too! and i share your reservation about Venice, and having been there i found it exactly like that. just millions of the white socks & sandals brigade pointing cameras and following guides. Pisa was the same, impressive as they are, i wouldnt recommend anything but a day trip to either from a more exciting city, but i wouldnt return to either. when i visit a city, i need to wander off the beaten track and explore, eat/drink where the natives hang out, most places have these areas, venice didnt (for me) but Rome, also with its fair share of camera pointers, has them in abundance.

It is overrun by tourists (in parts), but that's because there's good reason to want to visit it. But, there's a fair amount off the beaten track. Last time I went, we had about 10 mins in St Marks, just for a quick peek again, then went off round the less populated areas.

Edit: Agree with the General, that you probably wouldn't want to stay a week...a day or maybe an overnighter..
