Sometimes being an Ambassador is excruciatingly painful.

Back in 2006 the marvellous Croatian Ambassador in Warsaw Nebojsa Koharovic hosted a group of us to watch Croatia play England. I was given a front-row seat as Ambassadorial Guest of Honour.

It was not going well, with Croatia a goal up.

Then this happened: 

Horror.

But what goes around, comes around.

And all the more charming and enjoyable when it does.
