chrisp65 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 ...if I haven’t put the Isokon building and a long rambling slightly smug anecdote in the architecture thread, I’ll be very disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m off to google... winner winner KFC dinner, it was a railway station from 1926 that had fallen in to disrepair it screamed railway fake gothic with a vaguely Islamic twist I went there via a Russian looking metro so it was probably the main terminus once upon a time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually got taken inside ... they must have chopped down enough tress to make Greta Thunburg weep with the OTT wood decoration inside . Needless to say Angola doesn’t get a lot of tourism so once I got in the country ( it’s officially the hardest place in the world to enter as a tourist ). I got some sort of VIP treatment taken to all these places that weren’t open to the public ... there was a money museum due to open a few weeks later and I became its “first” ever visitor as they went and got the manager for this special visitor , they even got a gold bar out the safe for me to hold ... I wouldn’t necessarily rush back but it was an interesting place Edited October 15, 2020 by tonyh29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved watching him so much as a player, very much not enjoying so much watching him turn into/reveal himself to be a boring, whining fart without a single redeeming feature. Very much someone who would have benefitted from fading into obscurity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always middle aged blokes who have a warped and sketchy idea of history, and wouldn't have lasted five minutes in WWII before whingeing about the hardships of having their luxuries taken away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Johnny Cash being given the Royal Philharmonic treatment. First track from it released today and it is **** awful. Someone should take all power from John Carter Cash for allowing this album. Edited October 16, 2020 by Seat68 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
