Old Man Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I have a collection of "selfies" starting from the mid-nineties, when I started having to travel for work. I realized that I should take advantage of the free travel, so I made a point of seeking out local landmarks and scenery. To document my travels I took to taking quick self-portraits from arm's length with my Canon point and shoot, with the landmarks in the background. I would get the funniest looks from people when I did that. Often people would come up and offer to take a picture for me, apparently assuming that I was too pathetic to have a friend or SO to travel with. Sometimes they were quite insistent. Today, to my amusement and annoyance, selfies are a thing. Got lots of good pics though, like the one at the Albuquerque balloon festival. Anyone else been anywhere interesting?

L. Marcus Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 New glasses, after having the old ones for something like a dozen years. When I put the new ones on, the optician's assistant sang A Whole New World and I sang I Can See Clearly Now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Reading a book on the First World War that is really gripping. Catastrophe by Max Hastings. It covers the first stage of the war until 1914. Just now I am upto the first engagements between France and Germany and Austria's defeat by Serbia.

death tribble Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 A trial has collapsed over here of a popstar/celebrity. Apparantly a judge believes that the journalist that said the celebrity had tried to broker a drugs sale lied during his evidence. Said journalist is the infamous fake Shiekh. He has had this coming. So on the grounds that this hampered the trial, the case was thrown out. This is despite the fact that a fellow defendent had pleaded guilty to supplying the drug. Because of the journalist this had also to be dismissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkdguy Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 In the various CSI programs, the investigators conduct raids, make arrests, and question suspects. In real life, the CSI personnel don't do those things; detectives do. I guess that just makes for good TV. But if CSI can do it on TV, so can Europol.
