Dublin would be a good choice. We've a mild temperate climate here, plenty 
of hotels and restaurants, and loads of pubs where they serve excellent 
pints of Guinness and other myriad options. At these pubs, you are very 
likely to find yourself in a target rich environment with loads of fiddlers 
fiddling, harpists harping, silver buckled feet flashing, and green eyed, 
red haired colleens blowing kisses at you. Have your pacemakers on a steady 
setting before you venture in.

Now, there IS a minor problem here in that our Luas (one of the rapid 
transit rail lines) is plagued by industrial action just now, but the 
populace is fighting back against the naked greed of the train drivers with 
weapons like these.

I expect them to report for normal work shortly with their tails between 
their legs.

In addition, there are loads of unused churches, so I'd expect to easily 
source a capital pulpit for Ted and his TED talk.

Oh, and I live here too.
