- How times change... it's been 34 years since I graduated in Cambridge, England, and the college where I studied has changed form and become multi-campus; Cambridge Science Park has long since spilt over and businesses in the area have to be accommodated at new sites around the county; and on the outskirts there is a new "Central Mosque"... when I went to Petty Cury last week to consult with my bank (and why not, because all the banks are there?), I was shocked to see so many people out begging.
As I don't have a driving licence any more, I have been forced to use taxis to get around quickly, and this has been a significant expense in itself; the bill for the legalisation of my documents came to over £1700.00, and because I had to come here at basically the height of the tourist season, eleven nights at a local Holiday Inn (!) put me back over £1000.00 (!!!), with no choice in the matter; few other places being any cheaper.
To cap it all, the hotel is OK and you get a substantial, free (complimentary) English-style breakfast, and they have a bar and it is not too expensive, but it all has to be paid with a CC, so there's a big bill on that next month... all this because the Korean authorities demand certain documents to be legalised and this can't be done in-country - and my bank is in Cambridge anyway... this better be worth while!!!How times change... it's been 34 years since I graduated in Cambridge, England, and the college where I studied has changed form and become multi-campus; Cambridge Science Park has long since spilt over and businesses in the area have to be accommodated at new sites around the county; and on the outskirts there is a new "Central Mosque"... when I went to Petty Cury last week to consult with my bank (and why not, because all the banks are there?), I was shocked to see so many people out begging.

- Has anyone noticed that Kamala CHEATED at the airport? There was nobody at the plane, and she “A.I.’d” it, and showed a massive “crowd” of so-called followers, BUT THEY DIDN’T EXIST! She was turned in by a maintenance worker at the airport when he noticed the fake crowd picture, but there was nobody there, later confirmed by the reflection of the mirror like finish on the Vice Presidential Plane. She’s a CHEATER. FAKE AI CROWDS AND FREE CONCERT RALLIES. SHE IS USING THE KILLARY PLAY BOOK.
- Narcissistic, two-faced Eurocrats after Elon's dosh. He should refuse any funding for projects in Europe until they STFU or withdraw it completely. You can always see the socialistic political mindset at work because they think in terms of large-scale inward investment bringing a lot of new jobs. You could see this mindset at work in the UK in the 1970s and if anything, the descendants (or inheritors) of that mindset are even dimmer and more idiotic these days.Narcissistic, two-faced Eurocrats after Elon's dosh.
