Goofle, better get your big boy shoes ready cause I'm flying into Manchester late as sh*t on April 26th. From there my plan gets very sporadic. Probably day trips over the following week to Ireland and Scotland. Then I'll spend a day or two in London before I head south to Spain, Portugal, and France.

I'm just happy I'm on a plane. Now I can focus on trip planning instead of trying to find a cheap ticket.

Don't forget to look out the window as you land in Dublin Airport to see my house! Just follow the plumes of black smoke to the broken-down cars in heaps, the ponies running wild and the crowds chasing leprechauns down the main street, sorry dirt road. My house is nowhere near that.

Yeah, the British Isles are small, but I think that´s a bit optimistic, especially if by "day trip" you mean there and back in one day. What with check-in time, etc, etc, a day trip to Dublín would probably give you a chance to mooch round Dublín Airport´s car park for an hour before returning to Manchester.

I advise all my students to avoid Europe in 2016.

Yeah, I was over zealous about day trips. Probably two nights.

Being afraid of people who are assh*les just lets them be bigger assh*les.

I just don't want my students to be killed in a random terror attack.

Key word, random. You know about it so how random could it really be?

Hi, mordwyr! Welcome back to MB.

I´m sorry to be contentious, but surely the risk of suffering in a terrorist attack is statistically very low. Do you also advise your students to leave Tokyo because of the earthquake risk ?

Zhanteimi · 12-27-2015, 07:47 PM

Hi!

No, I just don't want my kids to die in a situation completely avoidable. No one knows when and where earthquakes will strike, but, as I've told my students, there are many signs that Europe will be struck by many terror attacks in 2016. So it's a matter of prudence.

RoxyRollah · 12-27-2015, 07:48 PM

Sooo....go nowhere?

Zhanteimi · 12-27-2015, 07:51 PM

Just not places where dangerous humans have guns. So, yes, that means parts of America, too.
