"The reason I talk about not being encouraged to push boundaries is because I've met a lot of people in similar positions."People want to do things that are the normal in their community or their society and when you want to do things that aren't necessarily the norm people are like 'why are you doing that?'.

"A lot of the time in certain communities I think people think that success is what they think is normal, so for example, 'why haven't you settled down and had kids yet?' because that's the normal thing to do."Image source,

cool story

Not to go back to Derby?

Don't have that kind of money spare TBF; albeit more likely we paid for it like most of these things. Sure I would use Top Gear method though. Seems also odd; British-born Sikh; first Indian origin woman? How if born in the UK; maybe more publicity for book etc. as not the first

Why would anyone want to be in such a harsh, inhospitable and dangerous climate such as Derby? Makes sense to head South.

Yeah because the treaty countries are falling over themselves to issue visas🙄

Ashley considers bid for Derby CountyFormer Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley is considering a bid for cash-strapped Championship club Derby County. He should have left Newcastle a lot earlier than he eventually did and whilst now his name is probably toxic at the club, as a businessman (a rogue one to work for no doubt), he'd help Derby County get back on a sound footing financially. Perhaps even knowing when to leave too? I have some Sheikh investors coming to Derby in the next 6months...oilmoney
