Travelling on business is ****e even if your staying in 5* & eating best foods. Would much prefer to be home with family & simple stuff.
Well I would say travelling everywhere and being shown everything and then getting into rest up in one of your palaces after is not the worst of lives…
Yep, not the “worst of lives” but definitely not “incredible opportunities” which is where this started but there you go.
Edit: Been working in Berlin this week & was due to fly back Thursday eve, arrive home 1am Friday. Flight got cancelled at last minute & struggled to get hotel. Paid for another flight next day which also got cancelled late also late in day, so again spent hours getting hotel & another flight today. Been sat in Brandenburg for last 3hrs & another 2 pending. Keeping everything crossed I get home late tonight. Missed our anniversary dinner yesterday. Of course, Lizzie wouldn’t suffer like this but travelling is not all it’s cracked up to be. Would have missed Brentford game but EPL / FA sorta did me a favour.
I’m European. I have that - and a few other things - in common with the natives of Kerry. My national identity, in so far as I have one, is made up of several overlapping cultural influences. Throughout the last 1000 years, some of those influences have been at more or less constant war with each other, as I frequently remind my French partner; who likes to remind me in return, that she is not French, but Breton. Which practically makes her Cornish. I’m English when the World Cup’s on though.
Nope. I know Schad is Canadian. America is a landmass, not a country, and Canada is part of that landmass (the USA is a country, albeit a country unlike any other).
For what it's worth: absolutely no one on this side of the Atlantic refers to the landmass stretching from Canada to Chile as 'America', nor as themselves as 'Americans'. It just isn't a thing. I'm also a bit amused by the notion that being in the UK provides some sort of innate understanding of eastern European affairs that is simply beyond the grasp of anyone from outside of Europe.

In light of the rapid advances of the Ukrainians in kicking the Russians off a good chunk of their soil and highlighting the weakness of the Russian army, will the usual suspects be writing along these lines? "Continued fighting only needlessly prolongs the suffering. In light of that Russia should sue for peace and give up 20% of their territory. I'm not on any side, but I am on the side of peace - and if the cause of peace requires Russia to make some minor territorial concessions like giving Ukraine a landbridge to Georgia and Kazakhstan, then they should resist their North Korean masters and do it. I will leave you all with this: peace is priceless, a flag is just a cloth, and a single life is an entire world. Who are you to ask Russia to sacrifice worlds when raising a simple cloth over St. Petersburg, a city you likely never heard of before this war, could mean peace?" Dmitry Grozoubinski
Good……..she has far more pressing things to address than work on photo opportunities for her instagrams account.
Today was meant to be the day when Russia's 'referendums' on annexing large swathes of Ukraine were to happen. They, uh, aren't happening for some reason or another.
