You need a bit longer than a weekend for New York City, but it's still a wonderful town. Manhattan is like absolutely nowhere else on the planet I have ever been.
Barcelona is just gorgeous. If you're into good food and drink, this is the place to be.
Rome is the eternal city - a quite magical place. Every other building is a precious antiquity.
Prague is just about my favourite city of all. The first time I went there I spent large amounts of time simply walking around like some sort of demented idiot gazing up at buildings just gobsmacked by the sheer, ethereal beauty of the glorious architecture at every turn. And the beer? Cheap and the the best in the world.
Paris - again, I love the place. Some people think Parisians are nasty folk, but I love them. And again, a beautiful place.
Special mention for Brussels. Some well skanky bits, but the old parts of town around the glorious old square are wonderful, with some of the best restaurants you'll find anywhere in the world. And beer, again - quite superb.

Just came across THIS , which seems to be more or less a technologically functioning version of the idea of this thread (or at least, what I think the idea of this thread is). It's completely free, so might give it a whirl.

Lorca- anyone who can write, in connection with shagging,
deserves to be here
Betjeman- much better than most think- "The death of King George V" is a cracking poem
Burns- of course A nice wee ditty on our royal family
Wilf Owen
and finally
feckit there's too many cracking poets to confine it to 5 and I'd just change my mind in 5 minutes.
How could you leave out the chap in your avatar pic, McB ?

Well, I'm about half way through but I can see what you mean. Although you have to bear in mind it was written when folk used to refer to going for a slash as "I'm just going to turn my bike around".
Do they not mention going to see a man about a dog?

A rather splendid cover of Outkast's "Hey Ya" by a beardy American lumberjack.

Live at the Isle of White '69 is my fave Nostril album - what about you Bill?
Nah - the production on the studio album "Pumpkin Horse" was for me simply unsurpassable.

"Lick my Truncheon" - PC Shineybuttons.

"Septic Septum" by Roland Quarmby.
Not as good as the original, obviously.
