*mightily resisting the urge to highlight the common antipodean ones*

Oooh, I want to drive a tram!

And I've seen Blue Poles in two countries - they had an exhibition on at the Tate around 2000. It's nice I can see it here whenever I want.

Heh; somewhere between 13 and 17, depending on intepretation of some of them. I don't think that's bad for someone who's never even been out of Europe. =;)

As for 98... I can't even get a signal in my sitting room! =:P

Edit: also, what's number 19 about? It's just about the only one I can't even guess at the meaning of.

#19 is probably best explained here.... :)

Aha! Cheers. =:)

And while I'm at it, lordstorm, meet loganberrybunny. lordstorm is not a Goth, despite the photographic evidence to the contrary, and is currently hiding out in London where rumour has it that he's planning to climb Nelson's Column. loganberrybunny can been seen at the end of certain English station platforms with a notepad and pen, although I'm not sure if it's to spot the train engines or the bunnies.

Well, not quite: I'm a big rail enthusiast, but not actually an active trainspotter. =:)
