Yeah, I wouldn't think there was much call for that on the island unless you could do it by internet.
What is "spit on my soul" in russian?

Why do the Russians call Britain "Foggy Albion"?

Yes, I do it via the internet.

I doubt you're inviting someone to spit on your soul, Bruce. Do you mean "I spit on your soul" as an insult? If so ... then "Plooyoo na dooshoo tvayoo" will do it, as I suspect FNF would tell you, too.

Because all Soviet era text books portrayed Britain as England, and England as London of the late nineteenth centry when winter fog was compounded by smoke from innumerable coal fires in the cities, contributing to the general murk.
Albion is another name for Britain, but I'm sure you knew that ....

Next question?

Maybe it's better to call it Misty Albion?

You are young, unattached, have no obligations to support a family - I say follow your heart, Jag. Life has a way of side-swiping you and if you go into the investment thing, you might wake up one day to find yourself 40 years old, a staid Swiss investment banker, and wondering what the hell happened to your life. Any creative field of endeavor is hard to break into. You have to write a million words, take 1,000 pictures, submit your work and get rejected. One day, if your good enough and worked at it hard enough and didn't give up, you'll get a letter or a phone call from a producer or an editor who likes your work. But that offer will never come if you don't try. Go for it!
