well, there was that chase scene in Mission Impossible where a helicopter flew into the Chunnel after the train.

I vote Great Wall.

It's only a load of bricks - and who wants a wall that big anyway - and what with all that pollution the economic growth is creating it must be crumbling at a rate of knots by now as well.

Whereas....

I have instant access to all that lovely wine now, and they even take bikes as well. OK so it's bankrupt, it's still an amazing feat of engineering - and who'd have believed they'd actually meet in the middle like that, uh? (or is that the reason there are two tunnels???)

A brave attempt to promote a win for

The Chunnel

(somehow I think it just might not be a successful attempt, though....)

So is this thread about over? sounds like 64 have been named. I can't be arsed to read ALL the posts. I love Red Rock Arizona. Gods creations are the ones i admire. :p

Now just think of the jobs that would have been created if only Regan had been standing at the "Great Wall" instead?

I'm in if you do this one.

Or maybe something sci-fi related. :)

You're right Glatt, the Chunnel's too dangerous - I change to Great Wall, if that's allowed...

speaking of scifi..... does fyre not want to come here? :(

Was that an actual vote change Cyc? Or just sarcasm? Being the official vote-checker, I hafta determine.

that one is a hanging chad UT. so you must throw it out!

God - I've been plagued by boiler problems since arriving home and only just got back here and seen yr post UT - yes, I wanted to change - have sent you a PM to explain - sincere apologies for holding everything up

That's OK. The slow of the thread reminded us that sometimes the ancient makes for a better landmark. :D

Great Wall wins.

Tower of London (8)
vs
St. Peter's Basilica (9)

If you don't understand what's going on here, see this link:

It's a tournament and we vote 2-out-of-3 for winners.

I'm not sure how these came to be so closely graded - Tower of London may have the crown jewels (believe they are replicas anyway), ravens and beefeaters, but cannot put these on a par with the works of art and grandeur of St Peter's.

Making up for lost time, my vote goes to St Peter's Basilica

St. Pete's.

Tower of London - I love all that mysterious history like the two young princes that Richard III supposedly had offed there. And didn't the Duke of Clarence drown in a barrow of malmsey there?

FOUL
:D

Cyc, sorry, that's the other unwritten rule... you can't vote for two matches in a row. To give the others a chance, you know.
