Basilica Cistern, Istanbul, Turkey
You might recognise it from the end of Inferno.

A bit too many TikTokers taking over the place

A lovely restaurant overlooking our ship

Santorini at night

Santorini, Greece.

Arts & Science Museum area in Valencia, Spain

The cathedral

The castle on the hill

A Gaudi inspired building

La Palma, Mallorca. Nicer than I’d expected

Santiago de Compostela and the cathedral rooftop tour

Cádiz, Spain. A day spent in Cadiz. We’ve spent a weekend here before, so took it fairly easy this time.

Santiago de Compostela & Roof top tour

Santiago de Compostela, Spain, today

Someone who presumably wouldn’t engrave anything on the bullet, as reported, and maybe affect its flight.

Trump seems to be doing a good job strengthening BRICS

Maybe like a fish, from the head down.

Some absolute nutters. MTG and her Jewish space lasers nonsense and people lap it up.

I remember using ftp, telnet, gopher etc. Also having to buy a web browser, Netscape, and it was delivered as two 3.5” disks sellotaped to a piece of cardboard

You’ll know that the web came some time after the internet started though. Some people think that a Brit invented the internet, including big companies such as BA and BT in their advertising at one time.

I think I could get out onto the internet using services like Compuserve and Cix in the late 80’s before the UK had its first ISP, Demon. Wasn’t a very friendly place to get around, but I remember I could telnet into Steve Ballard’s computers at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.

The origins of the internet date back to the 1960/70s. Not sure about some of that gear though.

Do we have anything similar?

I went to Cardiff once. The absolute best thing about it at the time was the Dr Who exhibition there.

Something like Dozy Powell

I’m a bit surprised after seeing this “bike lane” in Rio. Spectacular exposure and I’m sure it continues along the beaches

Ford withdrew this advert. Surprised then even ran it in the first place

Wonder if anyone will do a Tiananmen Square?

Or change the selfie camera setting so it’s always the correct way around.

I’d forgotten about the Liam Nissan account on Twitter. Used to follow him to see who thought it was the actor.

Looser 😂

The four way stops in the USA seemed a waste of energy. The first time we went to Boston (during the Big Dig) we hired a car to drive to Cape Cod we came a sign for an upcoming rotary. That confused us until we saw it was a roundabout.

Snap! With the wireless station and lower lighthouse peeking out.

I’ve been to Sinatra and the palace twice but didn’t know about the well until some time after.

It’s an amazing place. Did you get to the initiation well in the gardens below? I didn’t know about it and missed seeing it. It’s on my list if
I’m ever in Lisbon again.
