Say what you want about the Dutch and cuisine but they fair cornered the tea-dunking market.

like both those things, but I like doing them with people I like

Couldn’t agree more, nights out with bland work folk are nauseating.

I’d sonner have my own company on Business Travel than forced shite conversation with work colleagues in the evening, particularly the yanks. It can be nice if you’re in a decent place with lots to explore at your own pace. With young kids life can be manic so the slowness of the evenings can be nice. But the long haul travel is a pure cunt of a thing. Harder to recover from as you get older.

Serious battle with health and safety this morning. One of the Sikh boys can’t get a hard hat on over his turbin who isn’t allowed on the shop floor.

Poor auld Naveen had to wear a doo rag today instead of the turban.

His feet cut off him after spending two days in the visitor work boots the site gave him. He will have athletes foot going back to India

That’s a fact, you end up talking about work in the evening because you’ve feck all else to be chatting about. I’d be exhausted from it.

I think the key is to do it rarely, but when you do to try and go somewhere you otherwise wouldn’t see. The red eye to Heathrow is awful, but if you get the chance to travel, you, well I at least always seem to get more out of it than you give. I generally dread them before I go. Travelling in covid was the worst though, stress upon stress.
I’ll say this, long haul in a comfy seat with a glass of wine is genuinely restorative. It’s just getting onto the plane that isn’t.
Overseas hotel rooms are just not as nice as home, and it may just be that your mind tries to put a positive spin on it, but on the whole it’s a positive once it’s fairly rare.
