Tartan Army takes over Boston fan zones
>the tartan army are going around boston singing A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton unfathomably beautiful. what a nation
>The Tartan Army are now singing across all of Connecticut and have entered the tri-state area "That's fine, we'll stop them at the GW Bridge" >Mein fuhrer... they have accessed the transit system and taken NJ Transit to the Meadowlands... all of New Jersey will be New Glasgow in a matter of hours
The logical sequel of that one song
Have you seen the amazing robot someone built to sing that? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb5y...
I’m loving the Tartan Army/Rock Chalk Algeria etc stories, but it amazes me that they are that many people who have the cash to spend two weeks at an expensive city in a foreign country with airfare, meals, and hotels, even before you get to tickets, and beer.
This has been a constant undercurrent in my head for the last week
weeks of paid vacation and free health care being standard help quite a bit for things like this also it's just really important for the people who do, like worth not doing any other big vacations for a few years. supporter groups also book together and save quite a bit that way
Be a lot of home equity loans and maxxed-out credit cards there.
And Scotland is not the cash splashin’ part of the UK
I know people who have taken multi-week European vacations that they see as once-in-a-lifetime trips that they save money for years to take. I personally can't see doing a 2 week international trip to KC or suburban Boston being equal to that, but to each their own, I guess.
