Well this is original. In Gazaland, Harare, and so presumably elsewhere, oxyacetylene gas welding is done using cylinders of oxygen with converted fire extinguishers full of water and a chunk of Calcium Carbide (CaC₂) which produces Acetylene (C₂H₂). This reaction used to be used for mining lamps and caving lights.

Looking good again in Ullapool:

Loch An Eisg-brachaidh

Free galleries and museums, and the best science museum ever, with hands-on activities relating to O grade / O level physics! (This one is not free but well worth it.)

Kelvingrove (free: it’s got a bit of everything although the Dali is out on loan – Aug 2023!)

Kibble Palace of tree ferns at the Botanical gardens (free):

Glasgow Cathedral with St Mungo, and the Necropolis!

Ullapool looking as good as ever:
