My eyes were transfixed the entire journey. I honestly thought the whole thing would come apart and we would plummet to earth at one point.

Good call. This plane actually rattled throughout the flight and you could see all the nuts and bolts in the fuselage.

I got an internal flight to Sochi once and the plane looked like something from the 1940's and there were literally live animals running round the cabin.

You too, OSB.

And make them all support the City.

Go to St Petersburg. It's beautiful, despite being run by the Russian mafia.

I wouldn't use the toilets on Aeroflot. Didn't trust the door handles.

Wycombe play 3 up front. He's called Akinfenwa.

Yeah, your works visa must have helped. I found it a lot more arduous. I had to report to a local office (I think it was within 5 days) and I queued and waited for hours and hours 3 days in a row. Every time I went I would be in a queue and when they felt like shutting up shop for the day...

Yup. She is rather unique though.

Tricky one. We had the marriage all booked and arranged. I started to have doubts, but got ill and ended up.in hospital. Actually got off my hospital bed and discharged myself so I could get married.(it was two days later). We also had a lot of coincidence in our lives that seemed to lend...

My missus doesn't celebrate our Christmas and will only celebrate the Russian Christmas. Only watches Russian state TV and refuses to believe any other media source.

Yep. After the first couple of months.

Younger. She is very old fashioned though. A big fan of Putin, homophobic and tuts when our daughter watches any programme with any swearing in it at all. Apparently my letting her watch that swearing has encouraged our daughter to turn to rap music. Ha. Our daughter is 15.
