Here we are again. Decades in, no power, food shortages, and the big omnipotent "stable genius of the USA calling the shots in a place that does not belong to them. Regular readers will have seen the posts that we've created over the years, extoling the wonders of this frankly wonderful country. Words can't express…
Really get away. In this day and age, we're very, very lucky to be able to travel to the places we've longed for. Pity our poor parents in Days of yore, where flying was not only a thrill, but it could have been an overwhelming expense. Not everyone is (or was) loaded…

Are you going? Part 1. As we do, we were poking around on the electric interwebs looking for interesting content. Out of nowhere, the phrase and accompanying tune found its way to the forefront of my cranium. Those who are aware of the rather lovely British city will be clued-in. …
Ah, America. A place divided in so many ways, yet so cohesive at the same time. Your editor was born in the USA, but after living there 22 years, enough was enough. Let it be known that some of my siblings live there (I love them dearly) but they are not the…
