I managed to catch Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes at the Wedgewood Rooms. Check out what i thought about the gig here. Continue reading Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes


Hi There. I'm Emma, a blogger from Southsea. I'm a professional nerd, with a massive love for travel, so Geeky Tourist is my way of sharing tips on how to make each day a little geekier than the last. If you love books, movies, TV series, games, science, or history, you are going to find something here for you.

Jess and I decided to go somewhere new for cocktails last night and came across this amazing flower wall in @montyssouthsea It's the first time I'd tried a French75 - champagne, gin and lemon - pretty sure it's my new favourite drink! What's your signature cocktail?
Happy World Book Day! What book are you reading at the moment? I've just started on A Darker Shade of Magic by @veschwab and am loving the London references - though I can't imagine I'll get much read today as it's date night. Since it's a special bookish day, I thought I'd throwback to my favourite library in the entire world - @nationalbibliothek in Vienna. Has anyone ever been before? If you regularly have Beauty and The Beast fantasies, you're going to want to check it out, it's just stunning!
Do you recognise this scene from Eurotrip? It's one of my favourites. The movie actually turned 15 years old today - how mental is that? As if Wednesday wasn't bed enough already, you realise that you've been singing 'Scotty doesn't know' for 15 years 👵👴🧓
I've been in Fuerteventura a day and I'm already sunburnt, so I'm going to spend the rest of the long weekend by the pool, reading my book, under a huge umbrella. Does anyone else sunburn easily?
I'm not normally one for a relaxing holiday in the sun - I love hectic cities full of geeky adventures, and my pale complection staying pale - but when the hotel is as lovely as this, I just can't complain.. Seriously, one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in!
Did you see they're adding a new attraction to the Harry Potter @wbtourlondon - Gringotts Bank. It's been a couple of years since I last visited. I think it's about time I booked another ticket. This photo's from my last visit, and my favourite part of the tour - Platform 9 3/4. Can't wait to see the Hogwarts Express again!
Has anyone watched The Favourite yet? I still haven't seen it, but I visited Blenheim Palace at the weekend - which belonged to Sarah Churchill (played by Rachel Weisz in the film) and her husband - and now I really, really want to watch it. The library was one of my favourite rooms - obviously - and holds a statue of Queen Anne.
Drinks by train | Going to the @vytopnatrainrestaurant in Prague and getting drinks delivered to our table by a tiny 🚂was one of the funnest things I've ever experienced at a restaurant before. It's definitely something to add to your geeky bucket list if you find yourself in the Czech Republic.
