I want to visit Cheese Bottom now just to say I've been there, and get a Tshirt that says "I went to Cheese Bottom and all I got was this lousy T-shirt".
I'm both chaotic and orderly. I value my own principles, and am willing to go to extreme lengths to enforce them, often trampling on the very same principles in the process. At best, I'm heroic and principled; at worst, I'm hypocritical and disorderly.

QFT.
Frankly, we're rather sick of history over here.
Everywhere you bloody go ... ohh... an ancient battle site... a set of standing stones.... an unexploded bomb from WW II.
