    Enjoy!

    It looks like a beautiful city.

    Closest I'll ever have gotten was a city 2.5 degrees directly north of there.

    Thanks, what city did you visit you don't say how far north?

    We are planning 3 trips this year one to Budapest best time to visit May to early July or late August to September, a road trip in NW France prefer to do this in June and a meet the family of my youngest sons intended on the Isle of Lewis and in particular the Gerarannan black roof village which is somewhere I've never even considered,although I should of!

    Now your retired have you thought about short city breaks there are some real good deals to be had particularly mid week

    ~2.5 degrees of latitude north and a fraction of degree west in longitude, Poland, Katowice and Gliwce many business visits over the space of nearly 4 years more than a decade ago.

    Right now I don't have the money to do anything for myself and also pay for the kids school and Uni and other needs, so sadly I'm not getting to travel not even in the UK.

    Regards Budapest it brought to mind Jethro Tull's song 'Budapest' so I checked Google Earth to compare location against places I had been to.

    I've not visited Hungary and would love to go.
    Dom recommended a lovely bottle of Hungarian wine which was very nice indeed "Bor Forras"
    The following review is good and the memorial sculpture "Shoes on the Danube" is different, if a little shocking:

    Not necessarily, he can see anything that gets quoted from you and of course all other people's replies.

    I must have the wrong grasp of the system, as I understand the system if for example i have somebody on ignore then that persons threads do not appear in my thread title listings page nor do comments from other contributors on the thread started by the ignored person so in real terms the thread doesnt exist to me however where my ignored person makes a last comment on a thread not started by himself i will see in the last message column Ignored member, and on a thread i will see a pink line saying comment or similar by ignored member

    So this thread and replies would not show as a thread title on his title page if he has or had me on ignore

    We're on a very very old version of xenforo, I think it's supposed to work that way now but I don't think it worked like that in our version, I could check the database to see if he has you on ignore but there's no other easy way for me to visualize how it all works.

    Try ignoring me and then look at the recent posts titles my thread starts ie Budapest should disappear and any last responses to others will just show ignored member then un ignore me and I will reappear!

    I'm not bothered either way ignored or not to be honest!

    Your moon reminded me - Thursday we had a weird halo around the sun:

    Is the building a Trapezoidal Prism ?

    Cannot help noticing the sides appear to slant inwards :D
