Going to revisit the originals, courtesy of my Grandfather's paperbacks. He was a contemporary of Fleming and probably wouldn't be as gobsmacked by some of the stuff. Let's see if it's as weird as I remember... #Bond #Smershpod

A Peaky Blinders downstairs bathroom! I see the weird ultra enthusiasm for PB (a perfectly acceptable tv series) from a while ago and imagine how one day grandparents are going to try and explain why their wedding day photos feature Tommy Guns and ludicrous hats.

I do that too. I think it hits quite hard with some. You can construct a story in your head where you're sticking it to the decadent rich folk who can afford it...
...but your mum knows.

My uncle told me about the abandoned Toyota dealership in Cyprus, but that was in the UN Buffer zone in Nicosia. This just seems to have been left in a time warp

Made it to the abandoned Subaru dealership in Mosta, Malta. Some top drawer Carcheology. Let's get geo-phis out here, and dig a small trench... #MotoMalta @sniffpetrol.com

I thought my ideal Malta motor was this exquisite example of the marque Terios, but then I discovered the Pajero Jnr. What a great look, and the perfect pick on this island @carpervert.bsky.social #MotoMalta a Pajero, and who doesn't love them? But smol.

Seen an Aventador passing by a luxury car dealership, but it must be the most ridiculous pose purchase. There is nowhere here to get out of first and smooth tarmac is a rare treasure.

Still fond of all the variations on the Suzuki jeep out here... hired one 25-ish years ago, and the GF suggested buying one back in Blighty. I thought the holiday magic might pale quite quickly in grey UK #MotoMalta

Enjoying a holiday in Malta, and my one regret is as hire car driver I can't catalogue all the #MotoMalta finds I see... Partner seems unimpressed as I point out rarities and vintage trucks.

Just a Minute recording where Ross Noble tells Nicholas Parsons about Richard Pryor setting himself alight smoking crack... Later "you'll never believe what happened to Richard Briers"

One quote stands out. "It took an engineering genius to calculate the exact tilt of the huge wraparound windows to avoid revealing the camera and entire shooting crew in the reflections."
Alternately, tilt a pane and stop when the people disappear. You're welcome! 'Genius' gets a lot of overuse.

Dukes of Hazzard LP has some good stuff... Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and of course that theme, interspersed with dialogue from Boss Hogg. Regret to inform you that Catherine Bach's 'Down Home American Girl' is not so good. Ooof!

IIRC Nik Kershaw's Human Racing single came with some sort of board game thing on the back... now going to have to go home and dig through vinyl.
