@GigoloIncognito @theiaincameron Who really knows. My understanding though is that the Nemedians were based in the Upper Rhine, so really far away from the Slav tribes.

@modelstrangers @JamesAHogg2 Just beautiful, so lyrical and bitter-sweet. I very much enjoy your work, please keep at it.

@London_W4 @SUPFORALL It seems to be out of control. What a horrible thing to witness, and just shocking for that family. Antisemitism is, as always, a light sleeper.

@karenievers @KeithMillsD7 That’s very sad to hear. I lived close to it for years.

[Mark Griffin @Mark_Freelance]

@tabzahs Ha ha! Similar weather last week in Prague. We’re used to it here, but always a shock after a break.

[Mark Griffin @Mark_Freelance]

And back we come to a hot and humid Tel Aviv.

@RachelMoiselle @ReasonedViewIRL Very well said. This conflict has zero parallels with Ireland, and the analogies are pretty crude. As ultra-leftists and Shinners gained in the mainstream they brought this ostensibly Soviet driven propaganda with them, and now it dominates amongst the NGO/media luvvies.

Watched the World Cup final and strongly suspect the Argentina Karate team got on the wrong bus.

@real_dublindamo La Rochelle really is a gem. I was there years ago and was very impressed.

[Mark Griffin @Mark_Freelance]

@EoinLenihan That’s just shocking. Linking that with Nick Delahunty’s excellent work in crunching the work visa numbers, it points to an unsustainable policy of mass immigration (never mind asylum seekers). This is a clear case of elite corruption meeting the suicidal empathy of the far left.

Absolutely terrible news about Anne Widdecombe. May she rest in peace. https://t.co/B0KhFXhPYV

Finally out in the Bohemian countryside. It’s great to be back, if even for a short holiday. #Czechia

@VinnieSull1van @PubHistoryTours @Lost___London Pinner High St has a similar vibe. I’d recommend it if you haven’t been. There used to be some good pubs there too.

@MalleyNotagain I saw the Bangles that year as well in Milton Keynes. They, and The Cult (the band I went to see), were supporting Simple Minds. My first concert as well. It was great, and as cheap as chips.

[Mark Griffin @Mark_Freelance]

@ElmaRyder Agreed. I worked there at the end of the ‘90’s and I’d often have to walk around passed out junkies on the street on the way to work. God knows how bad it must be now.

[Mark Griffin @Mark_Freelance]

@London_W4 That’s just lovely!

[Mark Griffin @Mark_Freelance]

@Dozibugger I was there about 12 years ago; if you look closely you can still see all the bullet holes in the metalwork.

[Mark Griffin @Mark_Freelance]

@nick_lloy Either Borodino or Stalingrad. Unlikely for many years now, if ever.

[Mark Griffin @Mark_Freelance]

‘Scorchio’ in the garden today. Perfect weather for ‘Clonmel Chardonnay, but none to be had in Prague. Cold beer and chilled wine will have to do.
