...if we get there? I guess it will be impossible to get tickets?
I´m looking at flights and hotels at the moment (just in case).

And no, I am not jinxing anything.
 
I booked my flights etc last week.

Tickets will be in short supply but you never know. Kiev is pretty far away and hard to get to. Not that 50,000 scousers won't show up if we manage to beat Roma.
 
I wonder....is chicken Kiev a dish that emanates from the great pantheon of Ukrainian cookery, or is it one of those dishes some chef has applied a name to to make it seem more interesting? When I was a 14 year old pot washer in a hotel the chef came up with a dish that flew out of the kitchen called 'mushrooms Monte Carlo'. They had feck all to do with Monte Carlo. They should have been called Donaghadee Mushrooms.

Donaghadee and Monte Carlo have a lot in common you know, they're both by the sea and... I think that's where the similarities end, actually.
 
And "na" as third and fourth

I can see the Saudi princes lining up

Actually, it is ripe to become the Monaco of the Irish sea. It has a lovely wee harbour that the Sheiks would love. Fab ice-cream to be had in The Cabin too.

Not to mention its very own crown prince, Jamie of house Bryson.
 
Return flight Bangkok to Kiev.... 400E.... God knows why it gave me the price in Euros but.... it was looked at...
 
I am off to Rome, so I Guess that's about how much I manage to do. Kiev will be amazing, but I can't find a hotel nor a decent flight. Haven't got my Rome tick either sorted. Fuckety fuck.

Couldn´t either find a hotel but Airbnb. Never tried it. On this trip anything goes.

Yeah. A bed and a place to keep the toothbrush is enough I guess. Problem with Kiev is that I have never been there and don't know what i sound lociation etc.

I asked a chef about Chicken Kiev and he said it was French, but maybe spread through Russia and the rest because loads of royal families and rich people hired French chefs. Stuffing a chicken breast with cheese (is there cheese in it?) and garlic deffo sounds French.

But the breadcrumb crust is like a schnitzel, which is Austrian. Although that's probably French originally too. They claim everything.

I’m pretty sure Harry Kane invented schnitzel.
 
Back on topic, Chicken Kiev is chicken stuffed with butter and garlic, so it is as french as a stripey shirt and string of onions. And losing wars.

Oh yeah, butter! Why did I think of cheese?

Anyway, yeah that's as French as union strike or a lorry blockade
