    However, I strongly suspect that, as a tourist destination, it’s a fùcking dump.
    I went a few years ago - it does suffer a bit from that in places but still some magnificent sights. Really weird standing outside the Garden of Gethsemane and realising **** it's all real. The Wailing wall is a giggle as well. Was only there on a daytrip from Egypt (literally a day - left the hotel at 2am arrived back 2am next day, press trips, eh).

    My favourite is the basis for the Muslim claim on Jerusalem. The Prophet flew there one night on a flying donkey and ascended to heaven. Can't argue with that.

    A - re GOT.

    Had a close encounter with one of the stars yesterday, Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish I believe.

    Nearly knocked me over, didn’t, apologised.

    Could have turned nasty.

    Sounds like he was in character then. He's the one that started all the wars and mayhem. "Chaos is a ladder" was his theme.

    Definitely capable of a spot of anti-social pedestrian behaviour on the fair streets of your Dublin there.

    Clattered into me as he appeared to be running late for an early evening dinner appointment in Trocadero. I was busy selecting appropriate commute music on my iPod so was not ready for the challenge.

    He laid his hand on me, asked after my welfare and apologised. I merely wished him luck.

    I expect today the perilous predicament he was briefly in.
