Just arrived in Istanbul... it's usually not a bad flight of four hours. This time I had the POKER next to me. You know, the one who CANNOT share an arm rest... who constantly POKES you in the ribs with her elbows.... then looks surprised when you grunt in pain.
Anyone else had to suffer through the POKER...
Pictures of the Blue Mosque and Haiga Sofia forthcoming... my hotel has a lovely view of both of them.

Expatinuk seems to be a Soviet Satellite in stationary orbit over the UK
It is what it is.

I usually meet her London cousin on the Tube. Particularly pernicious on the Bakerloo and other lines where they haven't put in arm rests on the benches as they also tend to overflow.
I have nice pointy elbows, I just very politely jab back ;-)
