I would be stalemating every time playing that fast as well. Very difficult to learn from mistakes and the checkmate patterns playing fast time controls which is why I stick to 3+ days a move. Bullet games are good to watch but it's more about avoiding blunders and not losing on time than strategic thinking and creating brilliance (some tournaments have brilliancy prizes and I think that lad from The Fast Show presents them on behalf of FIDE)
Brilliance in a bullet game would be equally if not more impressive than a classical game. I'm not sure what the stats are with brilliance ratios across the time controls.
You always seem to be going on hols not that I'm envious or anything! I received my first Irish passport last year but have not christened it yet so hopefully later this year it will either be Ireland to visit family, Spain to work in a bar or Salzburg to visit the Mozart museum. In the coming years I'm also hoping to re-visit New York. As a teetotal non-smoker overseas travel is now much more accessible.
