Depends how much money you want to spend and what you like doing. If you want to chill and get in the sea a lot then the Maldives is the place. If you want sightseeing and the open road then America is great. Is Corsica nice? I fancy going there or Sardinia as I've never been.
The port in Corsica was lavish. Rustic markets with that blend of Italian and French and lovely beaches with jet blue clear water.

Research has shown that debate generally causes reinforcement of currently held views. It's hard to change minds. Yet we’re all keen to argue our position. Why then?

In fact I think nickgusset made the exact same argument before he left. I don’t think he bought anyone over to the left with his postings. Not me, that’s for sure.

By the way, if what you were saying were true then no politician would ever argue the toss ever. What is said does have an affect. My views on several topics shifted over the years.

I guess that proves the point. Nobody takes any notice of what is put on the HOL Edited by Mapletree (16 May 2018 8.16am)
