Did you take pictures of all the penis decorations in Pompeii? There are a lot of those. The place didn't have 44 brothels for nothing.

Er No. I've already got one so I know what they look like.

Edinburgh from the castle

The 1914-1918 War Memorial and the royal apartments in Edinburgh Castle


Entrance to the Combined Military Services Museum in Maldon

[TarJak]

The museum has some fantastic items incision the last remaining cockleshell kayak from the famous raid. This one (top) got sent on the raid but was damaged when unloading and was taken back to Blighty.




Th e uniform collection was pretty good too ranging from pre Napoleonic till modern day.




Anze's forged £50 note operation was exposed


The Donnington collection was also on good show

So how's the pillaging and plundering going? When are you going to ravage the US (West coast)?

Flew into Edinburgh on the 5th of July, drove to Oban via stops for Bannockburn and Stirling Castle,then through the Lomond and Trussocks national park, then up to Inverness via Fort William, Fort Augustus, a cruise on Loch Ness then a quick visit to Urquhart Castle.
After the night in Inverness Castle visited Culloden before driving via a few distilleries to Stonehaven where we stayed at the Ship Inn right on the harbour. Visited Dunottar Castle. Then back to Edinburgh for a couple of nights visiting Edinburgh Castle, the auld town and a few of the sights in the area then flew back to Arranged on the 10th.

Lady night as we were walking back to our hotel through the Plaza outside the Cathedral in Barcelona we heard some operatic singing coming from one of the side lanes.

We went to see what was going on and saw this busker

Quite an amazing voice!

Great Photos! ...

I had read they were working on a reconstruction of the Collosus computer at Bletchley; have they made much progress and/or is there an exhibit on the machine?...
