Interesting: I have managed offshore teams in India and what I found was that I had to spend a disproportionate amount of my time on video/voice calls hand-holding and instructing; things I do not have to do with locally sourced teams (even with working from home becoming the norm).
I also managed a team some years ago that was split between the US and the UK - no problems at all.
The problem is really one of relationships (and time zones) - when I have met and got to know team members face-to-face the issues generally diminish; this worked really well at one company where each of the offshore team members spent a month in the home office.

Got home last night at 2330 local time (Zürich) a very tired, sweaty and annoyed man after leaving Dublin at 0900 local on Sunday. BA need their butts kicked. When are we going to stop tolerating these crappy practices from people who are supposed to be leaders in our economies? feeling very anarchic right now.
One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know.

That's twisted!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I think today is a holiday in the UK, but not generally.
Dealers choice, I guess - today or tomorrow is up to you.

Didn't know the 29th of May is a holiday anywhere so checked on UK holidays, and got 94 days on the list... 1/3 of the year (almost)... and twice as much as here... How unfair
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I'm pretty sure we don't get 94 bank holidays 😁

That still leaves 43 or 44 Bank Holidays.

...plus the days he takes a bath, probably.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Thank goodness it's not "days we have a shower" or we'd never get any work done.

That reminds me of how I once went for a job that requires you to cultivate your own smell over months. Luckily, they just looked at the length of my legs, smiled and then told me to get them amputated at the knees or look for something else.

Is that "days we have a shower", or "days we take a shower"?

Depends.
Are you in the habit of stealing showers from people's homes?

The first thing we look for when we plunder a village. And then we burn it to the ground.

Good to see that the old Viking traditions are being maintained, even updated for modern living!
