Came across a Mexican place in Windermere last time I was over. Called Bandito Burrito. Wanted to tell them Bandito is a slur that’s quite frowned upon these days. But I’m not Mexican and I doubt they meant any harm so whatever.

    Places like Windermere are perennially stuck in the 1970s.

    Full of brexiteers, daft racists and mahoosive loosers.

      Meh. I don’t go there to make friends. The extent of words shared probably maxes out with a “thank you” at Booths.

      Across the street from Bandito’s is a place called “Brown Sugar.” Almost certainly racist.

      It’s Windermere. Call it White Sugar you slave owning cunts.

      You’re a dirty Tory and I definitely remember you being pro leave until you realised how uncool it made you.

      Good to see our American comrades getting in on the action:

      Cunts, If they go at my leccy SUV I’ll be getting the flamethrower out 🔥

      Amps I too am pretty much done with flying. Thinking about Bedrock’s birthday this fall, but it is giving me real anxiety, I’d feel like the world’s worst hypocrite in the plane.

      Next Berlin trip is going to be by train, that’s actually very doable and might be a fun experience. Just takes a long time. First step being a 12 hour boat ride to Stockholm.

        You really do live in the cul-de-sac of Europe! That’s a beast of a start and end to a trip 💩 You very much have to have your heart and mind open to the idea of ‘slow travel’ to ditch the planes. The adjustment to the idea of the travelling being part of the holiday / experience is a difficult one. But a good set of noise cancelling headphones and the occasional upgrade can work wonders (The Bose QC45 are de rigueur for just about everyone in the music industry when travelling).

        Hoping they go through with plans to reinstate the Trans Europe Express service in the coming years. They’ve had a lot of success in Italy with good HS train services adding to the demise of domestic air travel, I reckon the TEE could do the same for a lot of other European journeys for a good chunk of travellers.

          Swapped the Bose for a pair of Sony WH-1000XM5‘s a month or so ago.

          Fucking superb cans, the sound and noise cancelling well betterer.

          And that’s a FACT
