To see this sort of thing, in this condition, in the wild in 2023 begs the question: who’s still into Andre Rieu? This Sunday in @escape.com.au, I visit to Rhodes to find out what the Colossus is all about. Only problem is I’m 2,400-odd years too late. Still, what I found will enthral and entertain and certainly won’t disgust. Sorry, did you say something? I was a million miles away. Sparing a thought for Comic Kingdom and the absolute chaos within. To think there was a time people produced for them. If you have to go, bring a jumper. Please Garfield…keep it on. Mr. Hammond, after careful consideration I’ve decided not to endorse your beard. Well, shit. What, a cardboard box isn’t good enough?
