Mechanical Animals

Evening all,

Once, a very long time ago In my bohemian days I fled to France with dreams of artist's garrets and love on the left bank.
Whilst there, I went to do all the tourist sites as you do, and everything....literally everything was shut!

The Arc De Triomphe was covered In huge dust sheets as it was having a paint job, the Louvre was my next destination to see that bird with the lopsided smile......

Big queue, me at the back, by the time I got to the front I was turned away as it was closing for the day

Next on the list, the EIffel Tower, where lovers and tourists stare longingly into the Parisian distance as the sun sets on their dreams......I got twenty foot up when all the lifts failed and we all came back down again!

This photo is from the top of the Blackpool tower,looking down onto a couple of dancers going a publicity shot for the tourist board. The stage their dancing on is a mural of comedy catchphrases through the years, which is a brilliant thing and guaranteed to bring a smile to your face...

Oh, and just to bring the Paris story full circle, we're standing in the lift waiting to go to the top of BLackpool tower, all crammed in like tinned sardines, there's a beep, a bang, and an alarm...

Lift fail, everyone out, come back tomorrow,
I think it must be me!
Night all
