Tape Rubbish

 We now have a cable capable of digitizing old cassette tapes, which means I get to dive into my stack of priceless Pirate radio rips along with a lot of old bollocks I've garnered along the way. 

I guess when I'm done I'll have much more space as there is a lot to throw out. So far we have a Boots tape that has been taken over by Methodists putting news up and promoting their book of discipline

We still have a bit left, including a hilarious bit where a guy considers buying a Casio Rapman. But most of what I have to  transcode is vaguely ethnic stuff, that'll either suck or go on far too long.

Holiday full round up.

 Where before you'd have to wait to get home for me to round up my holiday, new big phone means you get live updates. But for old times sake, here's a final edit of holiday.

We spent an enjoyable two weeks in Ayia Napa,  Cyprus. Where thanks to a tenant coming on (and her spouse lurking in the background) I spent most of it thinking of her and how my autist ass could have handled her.. if he weren't around.

On the plus side thanks to everyone overlooking each other, I did see some people making out on their balcony even so far as going down on his bird, which is proper dedication in my eyes. They had towels up which was nice but failed to disguise the fact that being of a higher elevation you could watch all that went on. Sadly they left the second day we were there.

Wildlife.

There wasn't much variation in plants, as everything was dominated by Rock Samphire. If you are anywhere near the coast this is what you have to look out for. Inland they had Asphodel and Juniper in the Sculpture park and a load of Agave that had gone to seed. There are a few butterflies around including Short tailed blue and a Swallowtail. They also had their fair share of Dragonflies about which is nice.

TV

Didn't really watch much TV, A lot was either Russian, Arabic (MBC Film) or Greek. But I did wake up in the middle of the night to some drunk dude on skates in this film (Greek only). Citruss TV had a dildiss that they were convinced was for your face despite it being knob shaped. Apart from that there was a nice dairy ad in Greek which was cool.

CATS

Finally in cats we have all your favourites such as Lizard King so named because it ate a lizard and a Mousebob a black tortoiseshell that was hunting mice. Oh and this dude who looked like he's made out of shadow material. 


It doesn't help that it's a fluffmeister so its edges are not that defined.

Moar holiday

 We normally split this between nature and TV, but for some reason the Gogglebox has failed us. Apart from finding Munich New town hall boasts a really nice clock, the only nice add is Citrus TV,  an Arabic home shopping network going way out of it's way to show that this "body massager" they flog, really isn't dildo shaped, all the while it being cock and ball shape. Albeit in pastel.

No your best bet for nature is cats. Where I've seen my share of crickets and dragonflies over these two weeks. What I've seen most are cats. They're all wild guys here so they mill about mostly at night looking for food. We've seen them catch a few things, a mouse and a lizard but mostly rely on hand outs from tourists. I'll leave you with a photo or two for your pleasure

Holiday 2 Electric Boogaloo

 It feels weird to do this, seeing as we normally wait till I'm home to post, but for once we have a new phone that is the size of a house, so you'll be getting an update whilst away.

We're in Ayia Napa under somewhat of a dark cloud, probably too much sugar bringing me down and not enough sleep. It's a good place an all helped by the fact that you can get a good look at everyone from the comfort of your balcony. I got to watch a young guy go down on his missus thanks to superior elevation, they left the next day though which is sad.

Nothing else has really topped this and I'll have to concede that my luck was indeed in.

Thanks to insomnia I now know that Munich New town hall boasts an excellent clock thanks to a BBC interview with the AFD Ponce. Some weird Greek film with a roller skating drunk is called Satraps, and people will sit out round the pool gone midnight.

We'll leave you with this guy, who lives in the shop next door.
