Maybe I'm being selfish, but I thought that some people might like to hear about my trip overseas. One user complaining will not deter me. Maybe if more did, but that's a very big maybe, and I don't want you deliberately inciting people, just to get your own way.

As for your threat to demod me, only Alex can do that. And I seriously doubt that he would take your trivial complaint seriously. So don't write checks that you can't cash.

Well having it as a sticky isn't too bad, it doesn't take up much space, and people could read at their ledger, sounds pretty natureal for him to use his mod status to stick it so he doesn't lose where it is, I am sure people can or have done worse things with a mod status.

Loved the latest entry, Quatermass.

People who are not interested in the blog don't have to read it, and making a personal attack on a mod is never a good idea.

Some random thoughts...



Leeds Castle... Didn't see any Taran Beasts?

Do they still have the "Dog Collar Museum" attached to the castle? That was bizarre.

...

The Greenwitch cruise... did you see the Thames Barrier? Cutty Sark? or have I got my Thames ends mixed up? Do they still have the Titanic Exhibition there?

...

"Who on Earth is Tom Baker?" is a relatively new book. What did you do to your copy? I got mine in the UK - and got it signed too

...

Damn about the Alfred Jewel (though I didn't know what it was - had to look it up). I had the same problem in Vienna looking for the Spear of Longius. Curse those museums with important artifacts that seem to close when you approach.

Probably heard them mentioned during the tour, but I didn't pay attention to them that much.

I've posted the final blog entry up guys. Sorry it took so long.

It sounds like you were pretty much over it by the time you got back.

Hong Kong is smoggy alright. That's about all I remember. Smog and the fact that it looked like I was walking around in an anime. Now I know why their anime has such blurryness at times. It's smog.

I remember arriving back in Sydney and just walking around for days looking up at the clear skies. I hadn't seen proper cloudless skies for ages. Were you the same?

Regret? No.. Every trip is an experience.

My last big overseas trip included; a spectacular car crash, both my wife and I getting very sick - but she actually got hospitalised, an unexpected cold snap of minus eight degrees C when we were expecting mid-twenties temperatures, a major tongue rash from licking stamps which left me unable to talk. Getting drunk enough to allow my head to be shaved, well after midnight by a group of very drunken individuals on the top of a mountain in Switzerland with no medical facilities. There were a few other negative events too.

I don't regret any of it. I don't think I'd want it any other way. It gave me lots to talk about and some funny things to remember. You'll be the same.

Thanks for that final entry, Quatermass! I truly enjoyed reading about your travels. I also was pleased to find that I was not the only one who replaces beloved, worn out books with better copies. I thought I was the only one who did that. And it was particularly interesting to see how things were perceived by someone on the spectrum. That's what made it so interesting to me, as well.

Hi, I'm getting ready to do some overseas traveling. I want to make a blog and update all of you on my travels. How do I make a thread into a sticky like Quartermass did?

Pretty straightforward - figure out what you want to do, write it up, send it to a moderator and ask if it can be stickied for a time. Nothing is guaranteed, but most requests can be accommodated easily for a set length of time.
