| My issue is that a Ukrainian accent and a Russian accent are too similar for most people in the U.S. to distinguish between, and so a thick accent like this could be confusing. |

Perhaps introduce yourself in the Getting to Know Us section of the forum as a beginning? |

| I've noticed that if CBS is broadcasting a sporting event earlier in the afternoon, that messes with everything after 60 Minutes until the news hour (11/10pm). This means shows on Sunday evenings (like the Billy Joel concert) are often started in the middle or otherwise truncated in order to fit in ... |

Welcome back!
I'll be in Sweden for 2 weeks in June, but on a tight schedule with a group, so I'll just wave in your general direction while I'm there! If there's anything you think I shouldn't miss while I'm there, please let me know. |
