Thanks; no problem; last time we queued but this time have found various internet firms who do it and the cost is not high when you weigh up going to london ( twice); its just i'm a bit paranoid about letting anyone have my passport. i always want to be able to make a quick getaway; hence have to live near gatwick

Actually it was someone who came up to me in the queue at the embassy, which may not be the most rational choice. I don't remember the name I'm afraid but they worked out of an opticians on the strand. I can't find them with a google search but you could check out the queue if you're going to London. I think they charge £20.

Richard: when you went to china i believe you got your visa through a firm rather than going up to london yourself. Was that okay and can you remember name of firm?

Andy, I will call tonight to try and sort out somewhere to stay in Liechtenstein. It occurs to me as I write this that if we could consistently spell Lichtenstein (hoho) it would be high in the meme pool

Surely not, that would be in poor taste, NK is clearly a 50th country destination. I reckon either SK or Thai, Cam and Laos. (At this point I start gnawing on my lip in frustration). Shall I go peak bagging again tomorrow? About a 70 mile round trip to the Berkshire peak

I vote no to Estonia and Lithuania, I abstain pending Matthews vote on Latvia. Incidentally there is something wrong with Aus and Sing if you try to enlarge them

I have made my casting votes. I have also added some wonderful scanned images of Luxembourg, Singapore and Australia. Croatia will have to wait until we go to Liechtenstein.
I would also like to invite your votes on my contributions for the baltic countries. I think they're better than the ones already there, obviously!
