Pretty good breakfast. I finally succumb to biscuits and gravy. Looks pretty gruesome but is quite tasty. I think the gravy has mushrooms in it. Tea was a donner kebab, brilliant for only E3.80. Pork not lamb – I thought we were in lamb country. If the Cambridge spies were Establishment types, Blake was definitely an outsider, said Owen Matthews in The Spectator. He was born in Rotterdam in 1922 to a Dutch mother and a Jewish father, and briefly served with the Dutch Resistance before escaping to England in 1943. Recruited by MI6, he was posted to Korea – and was captured by North Korean communists after war broke out. During a “hellish two-year internment”, he was given Das Kapital and other Marxist tomes to read – and returned to England a committed communist. There is a reference to a "Hamburg steak" as early as 1884 in the Boston Journal.[OED, under "steak"] On July 5, 1896, the Chicago Daily Tribune made a highly specific claim regarding a "hamburger sandwich" in an article about a "Sandwich Car": "A distinguished favorite, only five cents, is Hamburger steak sandwich, the meat for which is kept ready in small patties and 'cooked while you wait' on the gasoline range." I must admit as a brit that I have also been confused as to why Americans call beefburgers hamburgers!

I have a vision and a dream of where I want to be in five- or ten-year’s time and that’s owning a gym and a safe space for young people to come to. I also want to do a counselling and psychology degree so that I’m able to counsel young people through sports. That for me was the main reason why I came on the show. I will always achieve that; I’ll always do it, it will just be a fast forward that makes it a lot easier for me to do that. Also, I’d be able to clear all our wedding debt, and we’re going through a financial struggle as a country so to be able to take a bit of pressure of me and my wife, which would really help.More crap from the liberal, wokes and snowflakes. As for mutilating children’s bodies it just beggars belief. Nearly half, or 45 per cent, of the 2,036 people polled were supportive of people having the right to identify with a gender other than their birth sex, with 34 per cent against. But older generations are more likely to be dismayed by the creep of gender identification into everyday life, the study by OnePoll found.

In 1948, the Central Office of Information produced a short film which showed the correct way to use a pedestrian crossing (without the stripes at this time). On the downside, America seems to be infested with non-English speakers and generally crap service. Suspect this is mainly a by-product of the chronic labour shortage. For instance, the Cheesecake Factory had nearly 50% of their tables empty yet there was a 15-minute wait because they didn’t have the staff. Have to say our server was one of the best waiters we’ve encountered on this trip. The "Friends" actor appears to be a huge fan of the show too, asking, "Claudia, can I please do it?", to which Winkleman responded: "I've said to you before, no. You cannot apply if you're a celebrity or as famous as this one. Now, off you go." What we would give to see Cox take on the round table. . . .Wendy was kept awake until about 02:00 with the monotonous thumping of teenage tribal music from the local bars and discos. In the 18th century, the concept of traitors gained prominence during various revolutions, notably the American Revolutionary War and the French Revolution. Those who sided with the opposing force or were deemed to betray the cause of independence were labeled as traitors. This period highlighted how the term 'traitors' could serve as a powerful tool in shaping public opinion and controlling political narratives. During the 13th century, the term 'traitors' started to emerge and gained significance within the context of medieval Europe. The word originated from the Middle English word 'traitour,' which further derived from the Old French word 'traitor.' At this time, it was primarily used to refer to individuals who betrayed their oaths of loyalty, particularly to their feudal lords or kings.
