I still blame Judith for bringing on the end of the world in Not With A Bang :)

Screengrab from a YouTube clip of the long forgotten 1990s ITV sitcom Not With A Bang, where Judith Hann cameos as herself, accidentally knocking over some chemicals during a TV show which comedically turns everyone to dust. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_with_a_Bang

Excellent news, thanks!

Although I’m now imagining the two of you trying to narrate an entire UK road atlas, arguing over who gets to read the nice straight Roman roads and who has to describe the Snake Pass.

I normally prefer audiobooks, but given it’s all about maps, are there lots of images inside the normal version that I’d miss out on by listening to your dulcet tones?

Too good a post for this time of night, when there’s nobody here but us chickens…

How many 90s magazine cover CDs have you uncovered?

…it’s a really good job I’m on a strict budget here otherwise I would be spending a fortune in the gift shop!

Sydney 2000 is white, Athens 2004 is brown & silver, Beijing 2008 is silver & red and has a traditional etched pattern, London 2012 is gold with a mesh design, Rio 2016 is white with dark ribbons looking like waves, and Tokyo 2020 is a blue gold colour. An arrow is on display in the museum, alongside an information display reading Olympic cauldron ignition arrow, Barcelona 1992 Arrow used to ignite the Olympic cauldron during the Games Opening Ceremony. The flaming arrow, fired from the centre of the stadium by archer Antonio REBOLLO (ESP), a Paralympic athlete, lit the cauldron as it flew over the top of it.

As a sports nerd, it would be rude not to visit the Olympic Museum in Lausanne…
Sign on a wall reading Olympic Museum The Olympic flame burns in the centrepiece of a sculpture, while in the background is a podium with the Olympic motto Citius Altius Fortius Communiter inscribed on the wall A sculpture in the garden of the Olympic museum of two judokas participating in a bout, with a sign reading International Judo Federation, Budapest 2017 Looking up at the gardens of the Olympic museum with various sculptures and floral displays themed around sport or the Olympic rings. Three flags are hanging down from flagpoles, but the lack of wind makes them unidentifiable.

(Out of thread note, seems like my posts didn’t upload yesterday. Stupid tech!)

…exactly on time, the Swiss rail network delivers me to Lausanne for an evening’s Diamond League athletics.

…although even an hour of sightseeing was a luxury compared to the couple of minutes I had in Austria’s capital at lunchtime while changing trains.

If only there was an apposite musical reference I could make to remind me that Vienna Waits For Me…

…where I noticed the artists on this 1990/ Tommy / Pinball Wizard-branded machine had taken a few liberties when choosing where to place the word “England” on a map 😬
Close up of the Pinball Wizard branded machine themed around the 1975 movie Tommy. It shows a map of the British Isles with labels for various major cities. However, the word England is written in large letters diagonally across the top of the map, overlapping both Scotland and Northern Ireland. Wide angle shot of the entire pinball table, with various flashing lights and motifs from the film.

…but this nerd was happiest in the Pinball museum 🤓

On the right is the ticket kiosk, on the left is a coat rack, and at the back people are playing various pinball machines underneath a neon sign. A large number of pinball machines and vintage coin op arcade machines lined up in the museum. Five pinball machines lined up in the museum.

I can currently relate to that, with the added quirk of being in a country where I don’t speak the language, in an otherwise empty carriage, and where the app just sent a notification saying we’ve arrived at our destination when Google says we’re still 10 miles out :)
