Gary Alessio @garyalessio.bsky.social · 30/09/2026That nearly made me laugh my coffee out all over the table. By the way, I loved your Trieste video. Such a special place. Worth exploring a bit further afield if you go back. Udine, the Collio hills and their wine, Gorizia and Grado which has a lot of Venice references. 001 0
Gary Alessio @garyalessio.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I’ve got two washings out. There’ll be hell to pay for Musk if I find burn marks on my best bedding. Just realised that could read a bit saucy and I’ll have to go and have a little sick now 🤮 070 0

Gary Alessio @garyalessio.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I worked in what was the old Lambeth hospital on that site. Had been the workhouse and Charlie Chaplin lived there for a bit At the time it was a huge collection of cinema memorabilia and we were given an amazing tour one day. They have developed it a lot since then. 000 0
Gary Alessio @garyalessio.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Between Nérac and Condom? Was once on a boat and arrived in Moncrabeau to find all shops shut and restaurants shut. A friendly couple fed and wined us at their house. A very jolly evening with kindness I’ve never forgotten. 130 0

Gary Alessio @garyalessio.bsky.social · 10/08/2026It gets you into the natural position to go to the toilet and avoids touching filthy toilet seats if you’re not adept at hovering, but Farage won’t worry about such detail… 120 0

The minute you automate that, it's over. You might as well close the course. Which they're also doing. This is an attack on learning, and everyone is just shrugging. 221576447 0
Gary Alessio @garyalessio.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I love how she stays relevant without being seen. The antithesis of Madonna and the social media age. The duet with Blanco was a genius move. I also loved her version of an Elisa song, her being a local girl and all. 010 0
Gary Alessio @garyalessio.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Have you seen ‘Io vivrò senza te’ from the same show? Truly amazing. I always knew who Mina was from my mum’s Oggi magazine, but only discovers her music about 15 years ago. She’s the best on so many levels. 110 0
