Greece

[IdleRich]

You know the bit where he gets more and more specific saying he hates southerners, and then people from next county, next town, other side of town, next street, probably next door in the end.

Ah sorry, I didn't get the reference (not seen the show) - I thought it was the general bickering

If I was a member of the International Party Set Elite and never had to work, like Patty and Yyaldrin I'd ditch Berlin for Athens in a second.

Mind you there's probably far fewer drugs here, an important consideration for the International Party Set.

Did you go to Exarchia?

Did you go to Exarchia?

Yeah I was there today. Messy lot the anarchists. Wouldn't hurt to tidy up every now and then. I spotted this advert for a Mark Fisher discussion group.

There's an Athens based music crew that are good. Hypermedium. And Thessaloniki has DJ Loser / Live Adult Entertainment

i'm in cyprus now and something that i just don't understand is the awful lighting they have everywhere, you come into a store or a restaurant and it feels like you're in the hospital, i can only handle it with my sunglasses on. do people have different eyes here because they are exposed to the sun more often?

 

[luka]

probably. also blue eyes cope badly with bright light. are you b lue eyed?

 

[yyaldrin]

really? sounds like nonsense but yes my eyes are blue.

 

[luka]

there you go, bingo

 

[catalog]

it's because of wavelengths i think. science.

 

[luka]

its why australians are always squinting

 

[catalog]

They're also descended mainly from Scots and Irish, a race specifically adapted to overcast skies and constant rain. Skin as melanin-deficient as possible to absorb each precious photon.

Ironic, really.
