At 2:32 Greetings Xenophiles! RoboMakem here.
On this day in 1959 Buddy Holly recorded that in his apartment in New York, along with 4 other songs which became the last songs he ever recorded.
On this day in 1976 a bank was robbed in Beirut and they stole, and I quote – “between 20 and 50 million dollars”. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? If the bank doesn’t know if they stole 20 million or 50, then it wasn’t a very good bank.
You know what this is? On this day in 1984, during the Superbowl, Apple played out their iconic advert for the Macintosh.
Happy birthday to Lord Byron – 238 years old today – He famously said one of my favourite quotes: Nothing is as difficult as a beginning. Michael Hutchence should have been 66 today and I won’t make any nasty jokes here.
Our guest this week is somebody I’ve known for many years but haven’t seen in person for most of them. An expat? Not exactly. A re-pat? Sort of. Tell you what – we’ll let him explain.

What brought me back is the Romanians who are easy to live with open, kind and curious. They wanted to be part of the west and I felt I could help them with that. What brought you to Romania, or back to it. Your first (or homecoming) visit, what were your impressions.
