Angry Ram Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 No better feeling in the world, just on my way now. This country takes some poo at times and justifiably on occasions. But it’s home and I love it. I love the moody people, the humour, the weather. The whole 9 yards. Family is everything. Home is everything.

TimRam Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Yep totally agree. Specially cosy during cold/rainy weather at night. The feeling when walking into my home. Peace, quiet and warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramslad1992 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Was hoping this was going to be three lions related... disappointed! in all seriousness whenever I go away I’m always glad to come home! Nobody has a sense of humour quite like us brits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kevin Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Words of an American Soldier about our Army .... "Those Brits are a strange old race, they show affection by abusing each other, will think nothing of casually stopping in the middle of a fire fight for there "brew up" and eat food that I wouldn't give to a dying dog! but f++k me, I would rather have one British squaddie on side than a entire battalion of spetznaz!!!... Why? Because the British are the only people in the world who when the chips are down and there seems like no hope left, instead of getting sentimental or hysterical, will strap on there pack, charge there rifle, light up a smoke and calmly and wryly grin "well are we going then you banker??"

Turk Thrust Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Away in Nigeria at the moment. There as an observer for the elections. Now it's been put back a week. So I have to stay on in this 5 star hotel for an extra week doing nothing! I've been going abroad (mainly African countries,some to the Caribbean, a few to the Middle East) for a long time - almost 50 visits. Always treated each visit as an adventure but there's nothing like coming home and the thrill of seeing from the plane lush green field instead of the straw/reddish coloured earth of Africa.

Rev Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I like these stories about coming home, but I can't really share the sentiment. Not being an international businessman, I'm normally flying back with the family after a holiday, I'm at home by looking across the seats at the people sat next to me. I'm not knocking the sentiment, but my work takes me no more than 15 minutes away from my loved ones! I've been on stag weekends and golf trips, and it's great to be away with a group of mates having a craic, but I can't wait to get back and see the family deep down, they are what make a home, not the location.

Stive Pesley Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I always put Frank's* Nice To Go Trav'ling on when it's time to end a holiday. I think he agrees with you @Angry Ram *Sinatra not Lampard Not so sure about the Gypsies bit - or the gay muchachos for that matter ? Quote It's very nice to go trav'ling To Paris, London and Rome It's oh so nice to go trav'ling But it's so much nicer, yes it's so much nicer, to come home It's very nice to just wander The camel route to Iraq It's oh so nice to just wander But it's so much nicer, yes it's oh so nice, to wander back The mam'selles and frauleins, and the senoritas are sweet But they can't compete 'cause they just don't have What the models have, on Madison Ave It's very nice to be footloose With just a toothbrush and comb It's oh so nice to be footloose But your heart starts singin' when your homeward wingin' across the foam And you know your fate is Where the Empire State is All you contemplate is The view from Miss Liberty's dome It's very nice to go trav'ling But it's oh so nice to come home You will find the maedchen and the gay muchachas are rare But they can't compare with that sexy line That parades each day at Sunset and Vine It's quite the life to play gypsy And roam as Gypsies will roam It's quite the life to play gypsy But your heart starts singin' when your homeward wingin' across the foam And the Hudson River Makes you start to quiver Like the latest flivver That's simply dripin' with chrome It's very nice to go trav'ling But it's oh so nice to come home No more customs Burn the passport No more packing And unpacking Light the home fire Get my slippers Make a pizza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
