RE: Rubidos Guided Ruin Tours! the Chateau de Montespan

in Pinmapple2 years ago

Great article!

Oh, if ONLY I could have a plague pet! I live in a province of Canada that has the (dubious?) honour of being the world's largest rat-free land mass, but that doesn't happen by accident. I really must write of this one day. No one believes me about the Rat Patrol. Even people who grew up here think that's my weird sense of humour and I have to prove it.

(In case you have a burning need to know more about this fascinating topic, far be it from me to leave you out in the cold:

I initially misread the title to your article as "Rubido ruins guided tours." Good either way imho!

When I was a little girl, I remember the first time my Mother took me to see ruins. Since our province was only founded in 1905, there are not many around here. We were on vacation (where? I do not recall. England?) She said we were going to see ruins. It sounded like something negative. She seemed more enthusiastic than the word "ruin" warranted in my precocious child's brain.

If I had a slightly different personality, I might like to start a series "Harlow ruins guided tours" in which I go on guided tours and, in some way or another, ruin them. But... in a fun way! You know, such as revealing sordid details the tour operator was holding out on for propriety's sake. That might only be fun for me, however, and it might conflict with my ongoing quest not to get arrested (so far, so good).

Why are my comments so long? Real question, but no reply expected.

Sort:  

Ruins guided tours is a damn fine title and now I'm disappointed that I didn't think of it myself 🤣

Yeah I had a really close Canadian buddy years ago who told me that tale, first reaction was bullshit. Then he whipped out google and proved it.

Domestic rats are pretty cool, but here out in the sticks we have the wild ones too. They are a damn nuisance. Always finding ways into the house wreaking havoc and chewing shit up.

Plague pets, I should make that a game.

Ha ha. Plague Pets... where do I sign up? They could help ruin tours!

They'd be the best tour ruiners on the market I think!
