Decided against going for it. They are in Paris, they charge 28% comission, and packing and postage might be difficult, and expensive.
I'll probably regret it but right now it's too much hassle.

I never had a problem (cycled down Acre Lane / Coldharbour Lane the night before the riots started , fairly quiet.
Ms P would agree that one of my failings is spending too much time on the laptop. Most of my postings are in the Politics Corner which I estimate that only about 33% of OG members bother to read. Of these I may upset about another third or at the best they may consider them as rubbish and should be ignored at all costs. All in all I consider the therapeutic affect to my welfare and metal angst worth the pain I may be inflicting on others for which I'm truly sorry.Tripps wrote: ↑18 Jul 2022, 12:44 On a daily basis I find I spend far too much time on this site. I resolve nearly every day to reduce my involvement, and nearly every day fail to do so. I find myself in turn fascinated, entertained, educated, informed, amused, and occasionally irritated /annoyed even, by the posts. Nevertheless I have an urge to post anything I think may be of interest to members straight away. In real life that shares my thoughts with an audience of about twelve regulars - though I see my Flaneur picture has had 66 views. I post stuff such as The Congo War above and wonder why on earth I do so. I currently have several stressful issues going on - one almost all consuming. I think this may be a displacement activity - so it in fact reduces the stress and in that way is useful.
I don't think so - but the picture "Portrait of An Artist as A Flâneur" by Manet has had more than 140 views now which is pleasing.
I got the impression there was a lot of PR element in there. Full of young people fashionably dressed slim and stylish. No pumpkin people or old codgers shuffling about. Must admit it looked a lot better than Colne or dare I say Barlick. Actually very impressedTripps wrote: ↑24 Jul 2022, 19:07 When I worked for the Agency we sent occasional diplomatic carefully worded service messages to the Russian authorities regarding radio interference problems they were causing. I recall the address was Tverskaya Street Moscow. I sometimes wondered what it looked like. I never thought the day would come when by Youtube (or Google Maps) I could take a pleasant virtual walk down the same street.
I'm quite impressed and it's nicer than I imagined. Spot the elephant.
Me too. Don't know why Saga don't do leisure breaks there - with "ballet in the evening" at the Bolshoi of course.
Yes indeed from 'I'm all right Jack' from 1959.
