Well?

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

I want to go on a tornado chasing holiday, and get up close enough to a tornado without getting injured in any way. I’ve already been very close to a lightning strike which was less than 2 metres away. I’d like to experience a decently shaky earthquake too. Again, without getting hurt in any way. So, I guess anywhere which has those things. I’d also love to see a volcano erupt, again without getting hurt.

I've travelled a lot already. I'd like to take my family on a big OS trip if/when I have the $$$$. The one regret I have is not travelling to Egypt while it was still reasonably safe to do so.

I tend to find travel for its own sake tedious and stressful. There are some things worth travelling for though, like (for example) the British Museum.

I stopped in the Egypt airport 3-4 years ago around the time of the uprisings and the atmosphere was far from serene. I did not feel safe there in the airport for two hours waiting and it was not until I was about an hour in the air after leaving was I at ease

Czech republic would be on my list, theres an interesting bugger of a contact of mine round those parts. Gun nut with an absolutely INSANE arsenal of hardware, from autocannon, to sniper rifles, machineguns, IIRC rocket launchers, to various HE charges, plastique etc. that could be fun to fuck about with, the pics I've seen....it would make lit go insane with envy :D

Clandestine chemist, which is probably a lot of what would go on, got some fairly similar tastes in some things. It'd be entertaining thats for sure.


Where else...well theres a few people here I'd love to meet. Oz  would be on my list, would be good to meet ren and al.

Portland, IL, US. and west VA, people I'd like to meet with there too.

And whilst I don't know anyone there, there are some valleys in papua new guinea where I'd love to go, to do some studies on certain really quite unusual native fungi, packing the latest in analytical chemistry equipment, and containers for spore prints, and for seeds, cuttings etc. of the native trees, to see if I could grow some of them myself (being in the genera Boletus and Russula, they are near certain to be mycorrhizal, and need to grow in symbiosis with trees)

Where were you on your way to? I wouldn’t have liked that.

Turkey to see the cave towns.

Egypt for the pyramids and ruins.

Vietnam for the massive caverns with trees growing inside.

France, Italy, Greece for the art and architecture.

Japan because why the hell not, you've got to do it once.

Iceland. Mongolia. Brazil. There's lots of places I would go on an infinite budget.
