TIHSPITFOAL: Bath and Bristol

I went to Bath and Bristol, saw some things. Here's some of the things!

Historical passive-aggressiveness

Inept censorship 

 

A bit of an overreaction

A dog that has seen. some. shit.

And a bin with issues.

TIHSPITFOAL: Scottish edition

I went to Edinburgh, Linlithgow, and Dundee. I saw some things! Here are a few of them.

A rave on Noah's Ark

A comprehensive poll

A drunk unicorn

An unlikely fate for a sitcom star

A whistling shrimp

The Beano's best catchphrase

A smug lion

And a museum having an existential crisis.

TIHSPITFOAL: Barcelona Edition!

I went to Barcelona and saw...


A terrible attempt at the Micky Mouse silhouette



 The wrong sort of buoy

 A lizard having a breakdown

A winning combination

A shop with a very specific item for sale

and the Tenth Doctor missing half his head. No wonder he was so mopey.

That's so Nineties.

I went through my childhood bedroom and found...


BERT REALLY LET HIMSELF GO AFTER ERNIE LEFT

I DO THE MOST ABSTRACT SNOWFLAKES

THE GHOST OF SOOTY

MY MOTHER WAS A GIANT

LIVING IN A RURAL VILLAGE DIDN'T HELP ME IDENTIFY ANIMALS

FICTION DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PLAUSIBLE

KEEPING UP WITH TECHNOLOGY WAS NEVER MY PRIORITY

PIKACHU'S 'BEFORE' AND 'AFTER' WEIGHT LOSS SHOTS

AND...

THE HORROR, THE HORROR...

I Went to London (again) and Saw...

A novel way of keeping us protected from the Red (and black) Menace

Adam West looking a lot younger than I remembered

Angry wizards

Proof that pigeons aren't the capital's biggest problem

A sexy robot

Too many hats

And the devastating fate of Elwood from The Blues Brothers.

TIHSPITFOAL: Berlin Edition!

Last year, I went to France. This year, I didn't. I went to Berlin though so you're not spared the "joy" of seeing some holiday snaps just yet!

Ah, I'm kidding. Feel free to do something more interesting like cutting your nails or doing your taxes. Or don't. Whatever.

Still here? Great! Then come along for a look at the ever-so-slightly disturbing world of Germany where I saw...



A MAN WELCOMING VISITORS INTO HIS CROTCH

A DESPERATE LONELY MACHINE

A RECENTLY FIRED MEMBER OF 'THE BLUE MAN GROUP'

AN UNSURPRISING NAME GIVEN THE NATIONALITY

A CHOCOLATE BEAR WHO HAS SEEN TOO MUCH

THE SHOWER OF SHAME

A ROOM WHERE THEY PRESUMABLY ALL SOUND LIKE STEPHEN MERCHANT

A BISON WITH A CRAFTY DISGUISE

PROOF THE ZOO HAVE BEEN DOING GENETIC EXPERIMENTS

JACKIE ONASSIS IN SHOE FORM, AND...

CREEPY SEXY CHOCOLATE. Oh dear lord.

Have I Got Muse(ums) For You! - Part Two

In Part One, I was in London's Natural History Museum. In Part Two, I'm in London's Science Museum. Well, obviously, I'm not still there. I definitely did not hide in their Apollo 10 command module around closing time in order to write this blog on location.

Anyway, whilst I was/am there, I saw some things. They include...



MUGS WITH ATTITUDE.

THE WORLD'S BIGGEST ENGAGEMENT RING.

A SURPRISINGLY TACKY SPACE SHUTTLE.

THE MOST INTIMIDATING-LOOKING FRIENDLY FACE EVER.

AND THE CAST OF SOMEONE WHOSE DOCTOR CLEARLY HAS COLD HANDS.

That's all for now. I've got to run from security. Wish me luck!
