Seville travel hack: if you are tired of the usual sights in the city, go and visit this modern art centre. It's fascinating, thoughtful and in a beautiful building.

Confession time. I'd let this account lie fallow for a while. My humble apologies for those who I hadn't followed back. Hopefully I'm all caught up and I'll play on here more often - promise.

Update: yes it was!

In the theatre seeing a play about the Brontë sisters playing a game of Checkov's disco ball. Will it be used? Oh the tension.

I call this "intermission with smartphones".

Oxford and Cambridge boat race crews have been warned not to jump in the Thames because it's been contaminated by toxic parasites, also known as water companies.

Beautiful isn't it? Anything from 8 to 15 thousand years old.

Truth.

A new find.

Well goodbye Athens, I shall miss you. Not the daily attempts by thieves to break into our apartment of course, but in general it's been great.

Well, duh! What did they expect?

QP with 4 different facets of music you like.

Brexit:

Just visited the Acropolis museum. Reading about pre-democracy Hellenic city-states & I can't help but wonder if Johnson had something like this in mind when designing his great free-port revolution.

No one should ever mark this government on it's policy coherence.

‘Desperate neglect’: teachers washing clothes and finding beds as poverty grips England’s schools Schools risk being overwhelmed by hungry, exhausted children from freezing homes, headteachers and campaigners warn

I used to work with someone who voted Tory. His wife was a teacher, and his son had special needs. So whenever he voted, he denied his wife a pay rise and cut the budget for his son’s education. That’s how stupid and selfish Tory voters are.

Tories absolutely love to claim that anyone who despises Brexit or the lost decade of terrible governance they’ve delivered, must hate Britain, what they will always fail to understand though is that we love Britain, we just fucking hate their fuck awful shitshow of fucking doom.

Visiting the National Archaeology Museum here in Athens and I loved this bust. This guy's had enough of your shit.

Oh Segovia (sorry, had to do it).

Good. Suppose he had a beer hall putsch and no one came?

Perhaps they're compensating for something? I always felt that the Chrysler Crossfire was a most apt name for an American car.

Lee Anderson speaks to LBC while touring his constituency of Ashfield alongside Reform UK Leader, Richard Tice #LBC #Shorts #leeanderson #reformuk #nigelfara... Dozens turn out for Lee Anderson in 'the Capital of Common Sense'

"We want our country back" says Anderson.

So do the rest of us: we want it back from far-right poundshop fascists & racists like Anderson, Farage & Tice.

Dozens eh? Not exactly impressive.

Until we gave them power through the Brexit referendum.

Ah the ides of march, appropriate that I should be staring at a statue of the old Squeezer's replacement today.

These eyes have seen things ..

Yeah he would say that wouldn't he?

Nor should they. I assume these charges are for preparation and presentation by the agent.
