So my fly boy jet setting 5* luxury lifestyle continues, I did go on a trip to Milton Keynes a few weeks ago but to be honest I could not bring myself to grace my travel blog with a tale of Milton Keynes, It seemed to me I would be cheating on my other destinations by doing so. But here is a brief overview
Drove there, work stuff fine, hotel average, gourmet burger ok but dodgy belly and boring on own, tried to take photos, dull, latin food place nice and client for company, home. That's it.
So anyway I move on to somewhere much more glamourous, exciting and interesting, Bochum, again!
I really should learn Deutsche, I come to germany at least 5 or 6 times a year and every time feel embarrassed that my grasp of their language ranges from counting to about 50 to asking for a beer. Last trip I learnt Ich gehe nacht hause which means (i think) I go to my house, not particularly useful lingo. In truth I probably do know quite a few words but its like french, stringing them together is a totally different ball game.
Ok so here is the thing, 'in my 30s' which are rapidly approaching like a stampede of smug laughing buffalo I will learn to talk either french or german to a more sophisticated level than le chat sud le table. Ideally both...
Anyway back to bochum, I was lucky this time, BA had some route deal going so ended up flying business for cheaper than economy, however I've realised something. On short flights, business class is a little pointless. OK so you get access to the lounges at T5 which are nice, but as soon as you get a 'silver' card (not there yet) you get access anyway. Long haul totally different ball game, If you can afford it, do it, makes flying almost pleasurable and thats coming someone who feels closer to death every time he gets on a plane!
So here I am again, sorry not a particularly amusing entry, but excuse my tiredness the 1 hour difference weirdly gets me every time!
