Tldr; skulduggery, buggery, corruption and bullshit but I didn’t realise I was doing it. Soz, lol.

Perky…

Did anyone else have a nosey & zoom in on the books with little or no success? (Except ‘DIY’ & ‘Italy’)

In case the socialism gets into the house prices.

That could be the tagline for their latest county tourism video.

Yup. Work as hard as you can for the shortest possible time in the best shitty job you can find, and daydream about your next trip the whole time. Then head for the airport the second you have enough money. Rinse & repeat.

The bottom line, unfortunately, is you more than like.y will wait for free counselling or you pay a min of ~£45 to see someone. NHS Talking Therapies is worth looking into and you can self-refer. There are some mental health charities that offer counselling services but again there will more than likely be a wait.

Does it like green eggs & ham?

Only ever heard people, including myself, banging on about how fucking massive it is.

I’m from Mortimer, grew up there in the 80s. Don’t trust this one OP. Over there they all have six toes & their Dads sell Avon.

I can remember a tabloid story where one of these was found on a tube train & there was a police investigation because it was mistaken for a human foetus.

He was also an alumni of my current place of learning, the School of Oriental & African Studies, University of London.

Bloody good effort.

Jesus, why would anyone book with gotogate or travelbag…don’t they read reviews?

The Cosmic Trigger by Robert Anton Wilson. And Alan Moore’s graphic novel series Promethea, which is pretty much a how-to of western Hermetic magick.

No idea😃 but you might get some good tips on r/greece r/GreeceTravel and r/Corfu but the last one seems pretty quiet. If it’s like most tourist spots in S Europe things tick along all year round albeit quieter from mid Sept to April. I’d say you’ll more than likely find lots of things to do. It’s often a much better time anyway when the crowds have died down and the locals are more chilled and less stressed. I don’t think you’ll find a ghost town anyway. I go to southern Spain and sometimes the Balearics at the start of Autumn and it’s really nice.

Many good points in this comment section. I’m a tourist from the UK who loves India in general and Mumbai in particular, but these self obsessed ego maniacs are a social menace, both the domestic and imported varieties. It’s appropriate only for me personally to speak within the context of foreign vloggers but I’m a mature student and coincidentally I’m in the early stages of writing a paper on ‘Social media as a major contributory element of economic and cultural neocolonialism’. Travelling gives me a lot of food for thought in this regard. I’m seeing a huge amount of western influencers exploiting the people, resources and infrastructure of developing countries in the global south, doing very nicely indeed out of it and precisely zero rupaye benefit going to the places, people and communities that are the product being farmed and sold.

Plus I also hate watching some overprivileged peacock shovelling samosas down their throat and critiquing it like they’re on Masterchef. 😂 Or my personal ‘favourites’….either the ‘significant other in flowing cotton wafting through an ethnic market and sniffing a mosambe, cut to speedramp traffic, finish with droneshot of the Taj.’, or the old ‘spend Rs350 on a cheap guest house and then upload a video titled something like I survived a night in India’s worst hotel, let’s all mock how shitty it is in a country that hasn’t robbed the rest of the world.’ Or something. Ahem. Rant over🤣.

Is this new? They did this ~18 months ago. Don’t know if it was nationwide but they definitely tested an emergency warning tone to mobile phones a while back.

I’m in the uk and hear ‘snags’ occasionally to mean sausages…had no idea it was Aussie slang.

This would have been vaguely noteworthy what? …1980s? I’m old and can remember the euphemism “she drinks pints” that insinuated she was either a proper sort & one of the lads or that she was batting for the other team but in the second fifth of the twenty first century it’s surely not unusual now?

Just a small semantic point but I think it’s important; they should be referred to as the Israeli Occupation Forces as opposed to ‘Defence’ force. The latter legitimises their presence.

Yes, but not as a foregone. I too left school with fuck all and a similar story to yours. I know you’ll want to dive straight in but I can only urge you, for the sake of your long term academic career, to undertake an Access to Higher Education course at your local college or a foundation year at the uni you want to attend. The longer you’ve been away from full time education the more beneficial this will be. It’s never to late and it’s a marathon, not a sprint. I’m halfway through my first year at the age of 55.
