This is a normal post There's something peculiarly Sci-Fi about high staircases with no railings.
Like that old photo of Clive Sinclair standing on the staircase in his Cambridge HQ, before the railings (and most of the office floors behind the doors) were fitted.

Also a shame so many diving boards in the UK were taken down at the end of the 80s in a national H&S panic. Wellingborough 'baths' wil be forever missed...

Another great site is the old thermal pool on the slope above Matlock Bath. It's been used as a huge Koi Pond as part of an aquarium for as long as I can remember, but the iron girders that made up the old Victorian building still stand over it. It's like walking into the ghost of a temple in a Zelda game. Apparently the spring water comes out at a steady 20°C and can refill the pool 18 times over every day.

This is a normal post I don't really hate people taking pictures of themselves. It's been going on since humans started drawing on cave walls with shit.
What I hate is when t'internet spawns these horrible fucking slang terms for stuff that we already have perfectly adequate vocabulary to describe.
Fucking 'selfies', it's taking a fucking photo of yourself. Just describe it as 'taking a fucking photo of yourself'. If you're particularly narcissistic then by all means call it a 'self portrait', but for fuck's sake, we don't need a new entry in the Oxford English fucking Dictionary for another bloody shitword.
I suppose I should count myself lucky that I don't work in an art gallery. I shudder to think about how many kids on school trips have referred to works as 'selfies' with absolutely no sense of irony whatsoever.
