The kid at the table next to me in the library is singing Come Together, including the guitar riffs, with his best Skåne approximation of a Scouse accent. The kids are adorable.

Also my noise cancelling headphones are at the bottom of my suitcase.

“History was full of the bones of good men who'd followed bad orders in the hope that they could soften the blow. Oh, yes, there were worse things they could do, but most of them began right where they started following bad orders.”
