I felt compelled to finish it all off with a rather expensive glass of armagnac.

Last night, I visited a proper French Bistro in Bordeaux. Can you tell from my photos? It was f*cking outstanding.

Speeding up the motorway from San Sebastian to Bordeaux, listening to Depeche Mode. Tell Frenchy I'm coming!

Even Airport 4 (the Concorde one)? Shit, that's REALLY bad ๐ฌ

Nearing the end of our trip to San Sebastian (heading on to Bordeaux, France tomorrow) so time to share my food diary. These are photos of what we ate, what we drank.. plus what we did NOT eat (some weird ass food here) photos.app.goo.gl/mMmaKJk8cLWR...

Wine O'Clock somewhere, right? Here all the time, it seems, in San Sebastian!
Paul Scollon (@scollon.social) reply parent
I need to see this.
Paul Scollon (@scollon.social) reply parent
The first movie was the only good one. It shouldn't even be a franchise.
Paul Scollon (@scollon.social)
More San Sebastian food. I'm totally going to need to join a gym or something. Maybe not eat for a month. I dunno.
Paul Scollon (@scollon.social)
Is it fucking 1984 already?
Paul Scollon (@scollon.social) reply parent
That is a big achievement. I love that game, but it's tough!

Give them cash, "go see a movie", anything. Just go out. Cash usually works.

Examples of sweet treats in San Sebastian. The famous Basque Cheesecake (seen here with added pistachio) was amazing... but so were the other items!
Paul Scollon (@scollon.social) reply parent
Messaged my brother who actually LIVES in Valencia. He wasn't at this. I'm incredibly disappointed. I would have been water-skiing down the main street with two large baguettes tied to my feet using cheese strings... and a garlic necklace, just in case...

This girl participating in the annual epic food fight in the village of Buรฑol near Valencia, Spain (involving a LOT of tomatoes) looks like a vampire having her best day ever.

They do know everything. I suppose a photo of you on record would be a bonus ๐ค
Paul Scollon (@scollon.social) reply parent
I think they realised they were losing money with the original version of the scheme. They still want your data though. I asked Tesco for a copy of all data they have on me, and they asked for a photocopy of my passport to release it! Yeah right...

Danny Huston also didn't check the movie title on his copy of the script.

This movie gets bad flack, but I actually love it. Great cast too.

Cameron did better in life. Ferris is a raging Trump supporter who probably lives in a trailer after blowing all his parent's money.

So good!

Wolfwalkers is great!

Seeing HARDWARE at the age of 15 completely turned my life around. I suddenly had an interest in cyberpunk, futurism, post apocalyptic science fiction... the whole shebang. I also started watching movies in a very different way.

I see what you did there ๐

Tomb Raider original trilogy remastered..

Yup. Never a dull moment.

Internet is not fit for purpose. It's like that episode of Black Mirror where the guy (Peter Capaldi) keeps adding new hardware to sustain the ecosystem for the little characters in the legacy video game which keeps evolving.

Try living on the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland (which is part of UK). All kinds of fun, especially since UK left the European Union.

This is the best character in the movie. 30 years of rewatches has convinced me.

Off to San Sebastian for a long overdue holiday on Monday. Any recommendations for what to eat, drink and do are welcome. I'm not a seafood fan, but will pretty much eat anything else. Give me your travel tips!

I ran Slackware Linux on one of these for all my COBOL and C Programming at college, circa 1999 ๐ I also downloaded Quake III Arena maps and mods to take home, but we won't talk about this as these days I'm the Sys Admin for that very same Computing Department ๐
