This afternoon I have to go to Swindon.
Following recent trips to Widnes, Preston & Llantrisant. When was the last time you had to visit a shit hole town for work? Do you get to travel with your job? Anywhere decent?

Alt: What would you guess your grandmother's favourite sexual position is/was?

AltAlt: Should Jeremy Hunt resign?
(, Thu 26 Apr 2012, 8:00, 340 replies, latest was 12 years ago)
I've never had to travel for work.
But I'm hoping to once I've finished my degree.

I don't really want to think about my grandmother having sex.

And I don't know who Jeremy Hunt is.

Jeremy Hunt has to resign. He way overstepped the mark.

I travel for work all the time..
... luckily I never have to visit the worst one of all - London. I've travelled to some awesome places with my work. I loved Kiev, Singapore, Melbourne and Adelaide, didn't like Paris (apart from the 'naked boss rant' adventure) or Frankfurt.
Most other places I like, I suppose I'm a xenophile.

Both Grannies are long dead.

Jeremy Hunt shouldn't resign. As a member of both the conservative party and the cabinet he should be executed over a period of weeks with the inventive use of power tools and corrosive liquids.

Kiev is a great place.

I did!
In the Hotel Rus (the older one) on the hill overlooking the city. It was great!
One of the best things about my stays in Kiev was that I was staying in the new Hotel Rus and my room had a good view of the Dynamo Kiev football ground. I'm not a football supporter myself but I had many guests on the nights they were playing, all of whom brought vodka and food with them. Happy days.

I travelled a lot when I worked for Coca-Cola.
When I was visiting somewhere I hadn't been before I would often create time in my diary to have an extra day there to have a look around.

Best one was Moscow - got an english speaking tour guide from the hotel. She was a history teacher so I learned & saw a lot in a short space of time. One of my favourite cities.

I've never been to Moscow
It's one of the cities on my 'must go' list. My company had a stand at the recent building show in Moscow and I was hoping to go but I wasn't asked as I speak no Russian!
Never mind - I'll get there someday.

On a couple of occasions I have had to visit suppliers, usually based in some northern hell hole - Oldham, Blackpool - that sort of place

I was offered a job in Swindon many years ago.
The fact that it was a complete shithole was the deciding factor in me rejecting the offer.

I have also been to Northampton on a course, which is the most dreadfully dreary place I have ever seen. I went 'out' one night, and I swear to god the entire town was shut.

I go to Bournemouth quite often with work, and it's quite nice. As a fucking Northerner, I quite like the seaside.
