My new favourite name for a laundromat.

I didn't see where the clever part was, but the name still inspires more confidence than OK Tire.
Or Reliable Travel (which I saw in Belfast last year).

Happy What Would've Been John Lennon's Eighty-Fifth Birthday.

Yes, I know the Millennials hate him because he doesn't pass their moral purity tests.
But his true genius was for expressing profound, beautiful ideas in simple words.

So Dolly Parton's not really dying. She just has a kidney stone.
Good. I don't want her to die. Although that's largely because there's a line in my new book that would come off really bad if that happened.

Me, regarding accent of lady who insisted I should get a pic of myself on the medal podium: "Australia?"

Lady: "New Zealand."

Me: "Ah. I've only been to Australia."

Lady: "Yeah no, not good enough."

I love this. Somebody mistyped 1896 as 1986 (twice), and they clearly couldn't be arsed to reprint the poster, so they just stuck tape over the first one, Which somebody peeled off.

While looking for the Olympic Stadium, stumbled on the ruins of the Temple of Artemis Agrotera.

Also, another shot of the Parthenon from the distance. Just because the lighting was perfect.

After the sunny morning at the Acropolis, I picked a terrible time to see the Temple of Zeus ruins; the rain began pouring half an hour in and still hasn't let up.
Nonetheless, here are the pics. Including two closer shots of Hadrian's Arch. (1/3)

I sometimes go to Loon's with Lizzie, Heather and others after Silent Revue screenings.
