Being a bone idle sort who takes great pleasure in watching other people enjoying themselves malingering on holiday, I rarely go on holiday myself.
I’m a short break specialist myself. I don’t pop on a plane to Barcelona equipped with the Rough Guide and a yearning desire to immerse myself in Catalonian culture; I book into a 4 star hotel within easy driving distance and seek out the nearest kebab shop. It’s the simple pleasures that appeal to me; albeit augmented with a monogrammed bath robe and some superior toiletries.
This year I’ve decided to go on a proper holiday. I briefly toyed with the idea of a four centre experience encompassing Baghdad, Kabul, Beirut, and Pyongyang. Thankfully my pathetic physical coward tendencies kicked in and I’ve decided to spend November in Cyprus instead.
It makes sense. The Cypriots all speak English, drive on the (proper) left hand side of the road, sell 12 year old brandy at five quid a pop, and have been known to rustle up the odd splendid kebab.
Maybe I’ll drive up to the Green Line and shake my fist at the Turkish soldiers (before running away very fast).

what about your sailing holiday? did you do that yet? I thought you were off for some heavy drinking and male bonding up in the Hebrides somewhere.
Shake a fist??
Come on man, you were Belfast born!
Just be sure that they don't ACTUALLY see you shake your fist. It might be shot off, with your head...
Come to Houston, Texas in November. We'll be home and the weather is nice at that time of the year!
