IT'S THE NEW YEAR. DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR DIPLOMATS ARE?

I, for one, spent part of new year's eve on airport duty. I took consolation in the fact that: 1) I saw a LOT of cars with different diplomatic plates at the Heathrow parking lot that day, which meant many of my brethren were practising the art of airport sundo as well; 2) other diplomats may have been partying TOO hard over the holidays; and 3) you can spectacularly combine 1 and 2.
