I would like to see the Niagra Falls too.

Indeed. I have been to quite a few places out of the UK.

No. I have been to France, Germany, Austria, Majorca, Fuerteventura, Portugal, USA - Las Vegas. I missed a chance to go to Poland and I should be going to Norway next year.
I tend to stay away from counties that are dangerous or dodgy.

Estonia is about the least dangerous and least dodgy country there is. I drive here through Poland. Just go to POland, just get in the car and go. Poland is a very good place to go.

Maybe I was wrong about Estonia and Poland, it could be places like Romania, Albania and Bulgaria.

they are not quite the same. Although I have been to Romania and it seemed quite normal to me - although I was in a part where everyone pretends to be German. I know Czechs and what have you tell jokes about Poles being thieves but apart from the border guards, I do not think they are too bad. The one good thin about the EU was that they did away with Polish and Lithuanian and Latvian border guards.

Interesting, so it does not seem all that bad.

Estonia is very good. If you were not an ugly monster with bright blue bits on your face who would scare the neighbours, I would invite you.

But I am a monster with blue skin.
Nah, I kid. Yeah, that is kind.

it could be quite helpful as my neighbours think I am totally stupid after a slight shooting accident this afternoon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, it was a bit silly. I was shooting someone else's rifle that I suppose was a bit too small, my head was too close to teh telescopic sight and the recoil sort of biffed the sight into my eyebrow. No biggy, as the colonials say, but it bled a bit and my neighbour was worried. So, first field treatment was to wash it with vodka which sort of made my face go numb, and then his mum called a paramedic and it all got a bit embarrassing.

Oh! You been 'shoot' which a gun, not a camera!
That is quite a common injury, I have seen it often. The hit leaves a circular cut around your orbital. Although, the Vodka would have help clean the wound, no?

glad to hear it is quite common - you are an army doctor? Giant lizard monsters have an army? That puts the whole Calais situation into perspective.
I have not got the full circular cut as I am only a little stupid, just a little 1/8 of an inch sort of thing. Mild bruise today. May post a selfie for you.

No, but I was in the Air Cadets Squadron 344 (Fulham).
If I where a giant lizard monster, then it would put Calais into perspective.
Lucky, as I might scare. Also, more for the lulz.

the thing is - apart from any other excuses - as a photographer, you instinctively put your eye right into the optic. Anyway,it is my role in our little community here to be the stupid foreigner and provide them with lots of amusement.

Indeed, that is a good point.
Nice.

you live in Fulham now - or is it Westminster? I cannot remember if you said yo ulived there or just spent a lot of time there. I am quite rude when it comes to paying attention to what people tell me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, Westminster. Fulham is still close, as I am on the edge of Westminster. I use to to go to college in Hammersmith, which is right next to Fulham.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
and Fulham is near London? I see you went to Yorkshire and photographed a peacock.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not Middlesex, then? But Leeds is still in Yorkshire? You were in ATC - but Commander is a naval rank.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No. Fulham is a borough in London. Leeds castle is not in Leeds but Maidstone, Kent ME17 1PL.
Yes, not for long. Plus, Commander sounds cool.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
so how come Leeds castle got moved to Kent? Was it like when an American bought London Bridge?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe. Other then that I am not sure. O_o.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
silly really because I live in Kent and drive past Maidstone all the time. If they had renamed it "Maidstone Castle" people would think "I am going to Maidstone,I ought to have a look at the castle". It could have been a trick: Steven could have said "let's do the crevecoeurs" and taken his army to Yorkshire by mistake.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Indeed. There must be a reason why it is named so. I know that a few castles have been renamed, so I have heard.
