Oh, thank God, I thought nobody would ever ask! Right, so here's 10 wonderful places in London that I enjoy whenever I can... THREAD!
10. The Museum of the Order of St John - In a pretty spectacular gatehouse next to their medieval English HQ, @StJohnsGate tells the story of one of the most important chivalric orders of the Middle Ages - and how they ended up with the ambulances!

9. St Bartholomew the Great - Way before there was St Bart's Hospital, this Anglo-Norman church was part of a priory ministering to the sick and poor. Hell of a story to @StBartholomews, and so atmospheric it's been used in many films.
maps.app.goo.gl/cjGMFnRFdPEfqL…
8. London Mithraeum - London was founded as a military fort and trading post by the Romans. Years ago, a Mithraeum, or temple to Mithras was found, and when @Bloomberg took over the site, they also found writing tablets! Cool museum interpreting them.

7. St Olaves Hart Street - Church loaded with history. Samuel Pepys buried here, Dickens liked the spooky gate and it was built on the supposed site of a Viking battle. @StOlaveHartSt definitely worth your time.

6. Welcome Collection - @ExploreWellcome is amazing - a Victorian pharmaceutical mogul started collecting objects demonstrating links between man and health, and never really stopped. Now very, very innovative museum.

5. Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese - Seems like it would be ruined by tourists, this pub isn't. Very old, the local of Dickens, Johnson and many others. Pub food downstairs, 'chop house' upstairs.
maps.app.goo.gl/CaBWHNAFoBmG2f…
4. Crossbones Garden - Once, they say, this lot in Southwark was the burial place of the prostitutes of the Bishop of Winchester - he licensed them! Over centuries, it became a pauper's cemetery, & now a shrine to London's forgotten people. Very moving.
maps.app.goo.gl/LzRg4Zcd9Ccpmx…
3. Dr Johnson's House - Samuel Johnson did a hell of a lot more than come up with the first proper dictionary, and here you'll learn all about it. In the square outside @drjohnsonshouse is a statue of his beloved cat, Hodge - give him a pat!
maps.app.goo.gl/rRgxtgKq217ZYX…
2. Treadwell's - If you like esoterica and high weirdness, @Treadwells is for you. A fantastic book store and storehouse of all things wonderfully strange - but all taken very seriously! maps.app.goo.gl/sCRDz6PeaWGaok…
Highgate Cemetery - You can walk around the east bit and visit Karl Marx, but the west of @HighgateCemeter can only be accessed by tour, and believe me, it's worth it. Take a camera, for goodness sake! maps.app.goo.gl/7rFLBQYw8GZjn2…
Hope you enjoyed that - truth be told, I could spend months doing threads on amazing stuff in London!

If you're visiting, let me know, I can recommend specific places. One day I might even get off my arse and do tours! /FIN

Here's '10 Things To See In Vienna (That You May Have Missed)', since it won yesterday's poll. Hope you enjoy these suggestions for a *very* unique city!
10. Augustinerkirche & Ungarisches Haus - The former Augustinian monastery church (and Habsburg family church) is a sight to behold. Look for the epic cenotaph tomb to Duchess Maria, who had a doomed relationship with Isabella of Parma.
10a. Also try to get access to the crypt, containing the hearts of many Habsburgs in urns.

The house across is the street is the former residence of Elizabeth Bathory, the 'Blood Countess' who tortured her servants.

The last few days I've done '10 Things to do in City X', because, well, I was bored and I love helping people find cool stuff to see. Today is the turn of Berlin, since it won the last poll. One of my favourite cities, here's the stuff to see you may have missed!
10. Berlin Wall Memorial - Preserved section of wall and watchtowers, as well as memorial to all those who died trying to cross the wall. Good museum with interpretive film too. Walls don't work! maps.app.goo.gl/AFdNZiSDX8f6za…
9. Deponie No. 3 - Again, I usually don't put restaurants on these lists, but this former tank garage is now a really decent Berliner 'kneipe' (pub) serving local favourites. maps.app.goo.gl/sZfNSj1J1vdSXK…

Yesterday, I did a thread on ten places to check out in Rome that aren't *completely* overrun by tourists. Today, I'm doing Prague, since it won the poll I ran at the end. Good thing I love the place! Here's ten cool places to see in and around the Czech capital!
10. Sedlec Ossuary - Ok, a bit out of town, but needs to be seen. Created at the start of the 18th century out of bones that had been buried at the Church of All Saints, this is the mother of all 'memento mori'. A grisly masterpiece of arranged bone!

9. U Medvidku - I don't usually put restaurants on these lists, but this place has been brewing beer since the 15th century. Amazing brews and pork dishes served within.

#Thread Congress is enemy of Hindu.

Those Hindus who are questioning #SadhviPragyaSinghThakur and still supporting Congress is spineless.

I'm not saying this bcz I'm a BJP supporter. I will give all proof, next is your choice.

A guy clean shaved guy wearing sacred thread came along sea path to attack.
Now a simple question, do you ever saw a M guy wearing bhagwa thread ?? Isnt it haram acc to islim ? Ever saw a M jiladu clean shave??

And they were fully planned to blame Hindus like other attacks.

GOD, His people & The World’s Kingdoms/Empires

- What’s gone before.
- What is to come.
- The Gospel of the Kingdom.

* Missed the Rapture? What to Expect.

Ever since God created the Earth in Genesis 1, He willed it to be ruled by Man whom He created; hence Adam was the first world governor & emperor and he was so, under God.
But by disobedience to God & obedience to Satan, Adam changed masters; and though the governing of the earth was still through human agency, Satan became the god of this world’s systems (2 Cor. 4:4).

A Night in Helltown Story #Thread
I was a freelance photographer, freelance portrait artist, freelance writer, and a professional gamer. Well, I was actually rolling in money, but still lived a private and secluded life, loved by many, friend to none, and it just had to be that way if I still wanted to cohabit
peacefully with others.
I was born with a curse, one that some call a ‘unique gift’. Where the normal human sense would pick up the strange smell of burning rubber and sulphur in unusual places, I could see the demon itself, yeah! I could see and hear angels, demons, and ghosts
