Berlin, Rome, Normandy London and a couple of cruises are all pencilled in, along with some TBD locations between now and December. Once again, I’ll be reliant on Internet cafes and open wireless networks for access, so my Stumbling will […]

While Glasgow has nearly sucked the life out of me, all it takes is one glimpse of the Piazza del Popolo to get me whistling while I pack. For the […]

http://c13.zedo.com/OzoDB/h/5/255139/V1/728×90.gif This regrettable animated GIF is currently blinking on the Rough Guides homepage. “Unforgettable”? “Exciting”?! Clearly, the copy was written by someone who has never visited Switzerland. And did anyone else misread “get natural” as “get neutral”? I laugh at Switzerland’s efforts to add itself to my European itinerary. **BUMPITY BUMP** It knows. See how […]

croydon art

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUSwJj8U1XU This terrific little vid was made by a pal of mine from Croydon. Despite the reaction of all other Londoners, he always seems to overlook the grottier aspects of his town to produce some vivid impressions.

http://www.goatweb.com/discover/miniature/nigerian/index.shtml “GoatWeb” – I love it! My Life v.3 plans (following Life v.2 in which I begin my career as a slumlord) may very well include a little goat farm.
