@indigo Good point. I'll always opt for a five-hour train or auto journey instead of a two-hour airplane flight.

@skematica As a bloody Yank, I cannot speak to how a Canadian diplomat should behave in Ireland, though I would assume that letting the Garda handle security would be a good place to start. :-)
@c So I recall (and which explains the huge plugs you have over there). Do you still have to install your own plugs on electrical devices?

@kdfrawg Not sure how many Quonsets are left. I haven't been on-base in probably 20 years or so, which would be the last time I attended an air show there. :-)

@skematica I was thinking more in terms of how you wouldn't expect an ambassador to get his hands dirty. I am neither Irish nor British nor Canadian, so I have no dog in this hunt, though I'm well aware of Irish history. Trump wouldn't get his hands dirty either; he'd just call out his goons to do the dirty work.
@hazardwarning I don't think I've ever tested a wall before hanging a picture. Then again, I know that UK and US electrical standards are somewhat different. Or maybe I'm just lucky.
The fun of watching my fellow Americans complain on Twitter about the difficulty of getting their accustomed Starbucks dessert beverages in Europe, where they serve actual coffee.
My Canadian friends, your ambassador to Ireland is bad-ass. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/kevin-vickers-protester-dublin-1.3601127
