The best part of being on holiday is taking photos of things that people have zero interest in and then forcing them to look at them once you get home. It’s a legitimate way of being annoying because they instinctively want to know about your time away and you can show them through 10,000 photos of a camel.
Not that I’m on holiday with a camel. Far from it, me ‘n’ the V have been sunning it in Florida for almost two weeks. We’ve done a lot of walking, I’ve drank dozens of watered down sodas and eaten my way through many burgers, tasty barbecue ribs and steaks.
I thought it best to ease you into the holiday snaps with a couple of posts, tossed off in my quieter moments, showing all the excitement of Orlando.

First up is this one. This is a fantastic photo of me emerging from the 7/11 with my Frosty blue ice thing. It was a hot day and I needed some cool refreshment. To my delight, this only cost a dollar for some reason (it was advertised as costing more) so I had to capitalise on the moment. I was on my way to pick up lunch from Subway, a blinding buy one footlong and get another free offer which we used several times. That was a good day.

Florida? You’ve been to Florida? Blimey. I’m well out of the loop. I thought you’d gone out to the Spar for some tabs or something.
Anyway, my favourite thing about this photo is that it’s so half arsed you took it with the selfie camera and everything is back to front.
I toyed with the idea of putting my face in it however it looked better without it.
You’re welcome.
I am welcome, aren’t I? Welcome to the Eleven-7 where they’re serving up backwards slushies.
Waaaaaay! (What?)
Nobody wants a backwards slushie. You ask for that in a 7-11 and they’ll call the police.
In the Eleven-7, the police call you.
What?
What?
What do they call me? Will I be offended or will I blush?
Given that they are the backwards police, they would presumably call you Nai, but I’ll admit that at this point I’m a bit lost.
What about Nail? I could live with that. People would say, “do you know Nail?” and others would respond with, “oh yeah, I know Nail.” And that would be me.
It would be questionably “amazing”.
