Coming Home


Angry Ram

Recommended Posts

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.

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??"

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.

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.

Tear to my eye fella.

I feel like this every time I come home from a weekend in Rhyl.

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
