“I’m not letting my husband f*ck me with my brother’s dick!”
– Sian, Greg Davies’ sister (according to Greg Davies) 😉
Went to Edinburgh March of 2025 to catch Greg Davies‘ first tour since 2017, “Full Fat Legend”. I wasn’t allowed to film or take pictures while he was on stage so I’m not posting any of the ones I definitely do not have on my phone at all because they don’t exist.
“A developed country is not where the poor have cars. It’s where the rich use public transportation.”
– Gustavo Petro, Mayor of Bogotá
I only got to see the cathedral in Bogotá and have lunch with my new, French friend Laura, before succumbing to food poisoning… It was bad. It was real bad.
But that’s not really Bogotá’s fault, so let’s not judge.
“Keep the general goal in sight while tackling daily tasks.”
– Chinese Proverb
That’s what I was thinking the whole way down from where we started at Avatar National Park in Zhangjiajie (where the “Avatar” movie was filmed).
“New York may be the city that never sleeps, but Shanghai doesn’t even sit down, and not just because there is no room.”

Other than that, this post isn’t about Chinese proverbs or uniting to overcome obstacles, it’s about my second visit to The Great Wall of China (first visit – click here).

I’d love to be popular in Barcelona. That sounds like a fun job.

“Barcelona”
– D.Kay & Epsilon
On our last day in Barcelona La Sagrada Familia was at the top of our list. We had bought tickets online the day before and found out that the signs for “Caixa” that we’d seen 600.000 of while walking around the city were the very machines where we could get them printed. As luck would have it, one of said machines was embedded in the wall of the building opposite our hostel, haHA! Continue reading
“Barcelonaaaa!”
– Paperboys
Last day in Barcelona and my feet were planning my imminent demise… I could hear them whispering in my light ballerina shoes, that had only the barest hint of padding… “Going to La Sagraaaada Familia, eh? Yes… Yes… very tall building… Oh, going to the tower! Would be such a shame if say… little Pinkytoe over there had a seizure all of a sudden… one might fall down and put us out of our misery!”
I was with a psychologist the whole time, in fact, I share a flat with her, so no worries. The voices are fine, she told me. Continue reading
