My gaff. She almost makes it sound fun…

@ARNC It seems like a deliberately, even excessively positive piece of writing, as opposed to a balanced evaluation. But my perspective will be different to that of a visitor. And it is nice up here, by all means, but there are a lot of glaringly obvious things about the town that she ignores or underplays. It is for example really fucking ugly, with the exception of the library/concert hall.

That was never going to appear in the final article - not unless the writer is planning to retire soon!

@ARNC well not in that form, but the way she does acknowledge it makes it seem like a paid advertisement rather than an actual bit of travel writing. I'm increasingly inclined to brutal honesty though...

We are in Port Louis on the other side of the river from Lorient. The town is stunningly beautiful, but I have to say they could take a leaf out of Gosports book.
Here are Gosports public WC's:
And here are Port Louis's, I checked and there are not even any sharps disposal bins, Jeez, Port Louis, get with the programme....

I live in North Liberty, Iowa this happened the first week I moved there about a block from my new home.
NORTH LIBERTY, Iowa (AP) -- The naked swordsman is pleading guilty. Curtis Rarick of North Liberty, Iowa, was accused of chasing his neighbors with a sword. His neighbors told police a nude Rarick was standing in his front yard and they complained. According to the neighbors, Rarick got upset then ran into his house, came back out, and threatened them with a sword. He's now pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon. Rarick will be sentenced next month and faces up to two years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
