I've almost been to Seville at least twice, so this makes me glad that I didn't get there.

^ That's a really interesting article and answers quite a lot of the speculation that's appeared in here and elsewhere on the internet regarding this whole mess. For anyone still remotely interested in this fiasco, it's well worth clicking that link.

I basically only use a tablet as a TV screen, especially when I travel, and my phone for general, everyday crap like social media and checking emails. For anything requiring any effort, I'll use my laptop at home or my work desktop.

Chessington is f**kin' s**te.

Ok, this is a very old report. If I remember correctly, I took a taxi out to Mysterious Island, but once I was there found a bus stop with a bus schedule next to it and used that to get back to the city. Yes, it's Jiuzhou Port. There used to be a small bus station connected directly to it, but...

Joker 2 (and a half hours of Joaquin Phoenix showing off) I found it equal parts very entertaining and utterly tedious, so that's quite an achievement.

That awkward moment when you realise that the crappy Jinma mine train knock-off is actually a Vekoma... The Jinma versions aren't great, but they're copying something that was never great to begin with, but a newer Jinma mine train rides better than an older Vekoma. That sounds like a s**t...

Nope, you got it right the first time. Doing it in English makes almost no difference. It really is just watching smashy-smashy robots on big screens.

I was disappointed with it as well. That was before Dynamite was added though, so along with this new thing there are a couple of things worth revisiting for. Thinking about it, it was really El Toro I was disappointed with. I'd heard nothing but glowing reports and found it overwhelmingly...

You've pretty much summed up my feelings on Ghent as well. It's a gorgeous place that fortunately feels ignored by a lot of tourists, meaning that the locals are really friendly as well. It's a million miles away from that s**thole of a capital city.

Hundreds of years ago, there was a member here called AJ who I became good friends with. He’s recently moved to Tokyo, which is relatively close (not really), and I had a few days off work between meetings and the kids coming back to school so headed over there. He suggested Yomiuriland since...

I'm definitely more of a doer. I like the idea of a lazy pool/beach day, but very rarely end up doing that, especially if I'm traveling alone, and tend to get quite bored quite quickly. However, these days I do prefer to get back to hotels at a reasonably early time and chill out for a bit...

I was so excited to share some Chinese crap that I completely forgot about an epic UK park visit in the summer before I headed back to Hong Kong. I took my mum out for the day to Llandudno, not too far from my hometown and an easy enough train ride. I’d booked a show at the theatre there. We...

The main reason for heading up to this area was a fairly new Fantawild park. RCDB lists it as Fantawild Land, but it would be more accurately labeled as Fanta Wildland or Fanta Wild Land. This is a bit of an anomaly with Fantawild as it doesn’t fall under one of their usual brands (Adventure...

^Yeah, looking at that water coaster at Oriental Heritage, I wouldn't be surprised if some others have slipped through the listings as Jinma. When I’d started planning this little jaunt, the idea was to stay overnight in Wenzhou, but since I’d decided to get that earlier flight back on the...
