We spent a weekend in Athens recently, where phones are plentiful.
My favourite phone shot of the weekend, taken in the courtyard of the Byzantine and Christian Museum:

It seems odd that in some deep basement in a fictional Gotham there is a real UK phone box lurking in the background:

More Australian TV with ‘Glitch’

I just returned from a visit home to Australia and took these while I was away:

Coed-y-paen, Wales
We came across this beauty when holidaying in Wales. The phone-box conversion speaks to what a friendly place we found South Wales to be.

I found this with other stuff I had put away in the cupboard at my mother’s house in Australia. I don’t know when I picked it up, maybe my travels in Eastern Europe c.1998. I only speak English so I don’t know if it’s funny or not…
I also found a large stash of club and band flyers from the late 1980s and early 1990s. I’m setting up a blog to share those as well. This can be found at –
