He probably identifies as Swiss.

FB is really an unpleasant, out of date platform, with censorship constantly looking over your shoulder. If an option, Twitter/X is much better. You can even talk to X's owner about problems, whereas you can't contact a human for customer service on FB at all.

Sure looks like the sort of guy you want to hire to teach English, huh?

I'm not going to disagree with someone's enjoyment of a movie or series. But I do think the talking is just too much in the latest version. And the guy playing Blackthorne doesn't actually talk as much as he grunts. I needed subtitles for when he was speaking English. BTW, I watched episode 3 today. Fell asleep about 14 minutes in. While watching Shogun, I've also been watching Masters of the Air. Forget the time of the setting of the stories, both Shogun and Masters feel and look exactly the same, with washed out colors, smoky and fuzzy establishing shots. I like the saturated color of the original. Not to mention that Clavell executive produced the original, so he must have felt comfortable with it.

Yep. His time is up.

"I don't know him."

Another event from just a few years ago. The guy who kicked the Thai woman who accidentally walked off with his grocery cart.

Tarred, feathered, and ridden out of town on a rail.

Hey, I've got that same shirt!

You would? People like you on a short fuse scare me.

Well, that was a good one!

In the video I saw, Urs' shadow falls in front of him and he appears to be storming up to the two women with plenty of momentum. Then, after the "GTF Outta Here," the woman on the right seems almost launched from the steps. He put some force behind the kick. He's a brute.

Free Urhs! From the villa steps to the sea!

Narcissistic rage.

Is this going to be a way for countries under sanctions, such as Russia, to acquire parts and repair to American aircraft they've seized and which cannot be otherwise serviced?

The article refers to a couple of apologies that were "not sincere." Swiss guy "stormed" out of the police station. Had to be calmed down by a senior officer, before coming back in and making another insincere apology.

This events described in the newspaper are frightening. Sooner or later he's going to hurt somebody seriously.

That is pretty damning. No wiggle room for a "misunderstanding" or "accident" at all.

If this had been Chinese, the Chinese embassy would have gone nuclear.

Interesting photo. Ritual humiliation, which may not be too bad of an idea, as the two policemen look on and laugh.

Is he from Liverpool?

This is why I try to avoid the company of Europeans.

Name them.

It's comfortable here.

Paid or unpaid holiday. That is the question.
