Just throwing it out there but perhaps not bombing school kids?

Going to avoid Brittany because of the geopolitical situation and stick to Jaywick instead.

Wow didn't even know he was sick. RIP.

I really hope she and her colleagues are ok and a genuine thanks for the painful reminder that making light of appalling situations online is always a bad idea.

Too early to start a league 2 thread?

"War, what is it good for?" asked Edwin Starr but to be fair he had never met Brits living in Dubai.

I realise the whole thing has become a bit of a meme now but there is definitely a culture that has developed in England that expressions and celebrations of Britishness or even more so Englishness is inherently problematic, unless it's done in a way that is deliberately inclusive of diverse groups. Like supporting the England football team is so much more acceptable if it's the Lionesses or if we are celebrating the multi-ethnic makeup of the men's team. It's true to say there's a difference between patriotism and nationalism but people are less comfortable with even quite banal patriotism here than anywhere else I've been, unless as I said it is somehow fused with diversity and inclusivity.

Not a nice city but it does have a few good historic sights to fill an afternoon

Was just going by the signs and paraphernalia around the pub and the clientele, didn't know about the events but I can imagine. As a pub I love it though.

Albanians are not known for their modesty when it comes to their country which I'm sure you figured out. I haven't spent much time on the coast but yeah looks amazing and probably 20 years ago you could find some incredible unspoilt parts. I think it's quite hip these days.

Slovenia is beautiful but it's not truly the Balkans. For me the Balkans is more or less everything within the red line, plus Istanbul which I somehow missed when drawing the line: If I had to choose my favourite parts I'd go: - Sarajevo and Bosnia in general. - Prizren and Tetovo and the mountains between. - Ohrid and Prespa. - Southern Albania especially Gjirokaster and the area round there - Anywhere in northern Greece but especially Epirus - Rodopi part of Greece - Pirin mountains in Bulgaria - Rodopi mountains in Bulgaria - North west of Bulgaria but we're getting very esoteric there, very little transport and indeed any kind of infrastructure but totally unspoilt mountain ranges and obscure medieval monasteries. - Edirne and Istanbul

Sarajevo is the one. Popular with tourists of course but very beautiful and interesting culturally.
