I think that may be a suggestion for another thread Fos.

On one of your fav subjects. What about the grafitti? Everyone complians about the grafitti in Glasgow and claim that it puts people of going to a place. I say lots of grafitti and didn't hear anyone complain. It was alos in areas that are well used by the public. It dosn't seam to put people of on holiday. What do you think Fos?

This was in Mallorca and though I took pics in the
Caves of Drach I just loved this lizard getting eaten by all these wee ants. It was to good a shot to miss.
Thank you. And why not.

No way, Alex. You made this one up, didn't you?

And I presume 'RUA' stands for 'Really Unlistenable Albums'.

Cliff is very popular in Portugal. I think it is because he has a big house there. One of the first pop stars to do so! He also has a wine named after him and I think he owns the estate were the grapes are grown for the wine.

HH hijack it if you like. I thought others may have posted some of their holiday snaps on this topic. Looks like not many HG members went on holiday. Maybe because the weather here was so good this year.
