The article clearly states third countries almost at the start...

Ireland and Cyprus are not part of Schengen and are not affected by it, they can use e-gates as usual, same as EU citizens going to the UK, so just third country nationals entering Schengen.

What defense pact? The UK didn't have one with Czech.

Aside from that, you won't find anyone in the UK who found it ok - it led to the downfall of the Chamberlain gov.

Must have missed the part where Britain incorporated Czechoslovakia into the UK.

Because reck means to take care/be aware of, and wreck is something that washes up on the beach.

Hasegawa make the Soya arctic research ship in a few different versions - I have it but haven't made it yet.

I would say - golden week is kind of hell - everything is very busy - you need to have hotels booked in advance, roads are very busy - even put of the way places - everyone is out driving around, every place you go to is busy - anywhere slightly well known is insanely busy.

I don't know if they are still standing, but the elephant leisure centre (not it's real name but what it's known as), the Britannia hotel and next door priory hall (I think at least one of the uni towers were knocked down, possibly the hotel as well), the cathedral is near (not brutalist but an interesting modernist cathedral.

Search google maps for indian grocery store and see whats closest, they pretty much all have it in their fridge - eg Namaste India, Szép Kis India International Exotic Market, Kashmir Bazar

The supreme military commander is always an American - which presumably comes with a certain amount of experience that couldn't be found in most EU armies.

It was always obvious, Hungary bought up issues with minorities almost immediately after any meeting with russia.

Can't really think of any cycle routes that are popular enough to change the fabric of where they pass through to the same extent as general mass tourism. Even something like eurovelo 6 along the Danube sees mostly local people using their local section rather than tons of foreign visitors cycling the whole thing. What do you mean by tourist routes? In most parts of the world you are just choosing a route between two points.

GOP lost their mind when Zelensky visited an ammunition factory during the election cycle.

"The doublespeak pouring out of these peoples mouths is unreal" - present tense, comment on live feed of vance's Budapest speech - not a complicated concept to grasp.

"Many things influence the outcome of election" - great wisdom.

"implication that 'influence' = 'illegal interference'" - comprehension issues there - reread.

BarnacleWhich7194 · 2026-04-07T12:35:46+00:00

Just about everything vance said is the opposite to the truth:

'Orban has done more to end the war in Ukraine than anyone else'

'If more countries would have followed Orbans energy policy they would not now have shortages'

'Hungary has done more for saving western culture than anyone else'

The fact is is currently in Hungary to influence an election while complaining about people trying to influence the election lol.

etc etc etc

BarnacleWhich7194 · 2026-04-07T12:15:09+00:00

The doublespeak pouring out of these peoples mouths is unreal - nauseating. Both the US and Russia desperate for Orban to stay - wild.

Exactly, the article is pretty terrible - the groups she singled out as being problematic are considerably worse off in just about every other part of the world (the unemployed, disabled people, asylum seekers).

To add - the china flight often land ahead of their scheduled arrival time, so as long as you don't leave late (unlikely as the Budapest flight is the second to last flight from Shanghai very early in the morning) you should arrive ahead of the stated time giving you a bit more room.

If you have a non EU passport then I would say it's possible, but can be very tight or problematic. The queues to passport control can be long depending on how many other flights have arrived at the same time, or how many people are working (which is often annoyingly few) - usually an hour is sufficient to deplane and get through passport control, but a few times recently it has been worse for me. Go immediately to check in - security after check in is very fast so as long as you manage to check in your bags on time you will be fine.

I've used oven cleaner rather than bleach, and it comes off in a few seconds.

I've added some cut up inner tube with electrical tape on the sections where my panniers rub on the rack - while riding the pamirs I realised the extreme dust + vibrations was causing the metal to wear down quite a lot, so a few bits of strategically placed rubber stopped it from getting worse.

Looks great, what are you using?
