Do you make her wear a burqa?

My daughter flew in to Amsterdam this morning, just the normal passport control, looks like their kiosks are not in operation yet.

Fair enough and I know I'm being a little flippant with my choice of words but clearly there is an issue many who follow that religion sadly.

I didn't say every, I said 'pretty much every' so only 99.9% of them 😜

You can bet that pretty much every Muslim male went and voted and would have dragged their (obedient) wives out too. They would all have voted Green of course.

Apparently we do. When I had the same argument a few months ago, I was 'proved wrong' by someone presenting this word, odd that most have never heard of it. The problem is many Muslims think that mocking or questioning Islam is Islamaphobia, it's bollox.

Brussels by Eurostar from Amsterdam was disappointing

I didn’t watch the BAFTA’s but this must have been very funny. I can remember many years ago watching the documentary about John Davidson, hardly anyone had heard of Tourette’s at the time, this made it both fascinating and hilarious. I remember one part when he was in a greenhouse and the teacher dropped a plant pot, John immediately blurted out ‘Fuckin idiot’

No problem, I fully agree with you and I'm keen to go. I guess she doesn't want to visit somewhere which she thinks is gloomy and depressing, which is odd after being married to me for 30+ years! She was happy to visit Anne Frank museum in Amsterdam and a memorial in Berlin so maybe I can persuade her.

There are always caveats to one months set of figures, but the borrowing figures are better than expected as were retail sales, so good news. Well done Rachel!

We have manufacturing partners in Gdansk and Budapest so been to both loads of times, both lovely cities. Krakow is a good shout, think you can fly from Bournemouth, but the wife refuses to visit Auschwitz.

We did Florence from Venice and also Verona, that's a nice city.

I think it could be very interesting Belfast.

We often like to add an extra night to any city break so we can do a day trip somewhere by train. Have been really impressed by the Italian train system.
