Ah, then it must be the Walhalla Temple outside Regensburg in Bavaria! Good old German neo-classicism!!

Well!!....if you cast yer  mind back..a few posts you,ll see that..i never said anything about karma....and seeing as how..i had to give you a pointer on the Walhalla,...and ..the alien gargoyle was a tad too easy....seeing as how i boobed when i named the pic ...and it was,nt rocket science to google alien gargoyle....i think that if i was to award you..2 K,s...i,d be doing you an injustice.....there fore....as promised....you get one of these.....which as everyone here in Scotland...knows... .is far better..than 2 Karma Chameleons.....cos after all...are,nt we here giving our time and effort....for nil consideration..... ;D

You didn't have to SAY anything about karma points.....Most of us are just happy to do it, knowarimean?

as the Fairies said:

Don't talk about it....just DO IT!

And thanks for the as-promised photo.

Klar, naturlich.

I posted in English, because to paraphrase John Lennon: "English is the language of the world...yes it is, yes it is...."

Injustice.....and here I was awhile back, starting threads for my bullyboy Wullieboy about how he's contributed so much, and awarding him karma points and everything.
