A proud moment talking truth to this young guy ? 2024 12 7

Yeah I decided to have a few minutes free time to take a swing round T-T only today of all days i wasn't in for a free ride... It soon became apparent it was East vs West, the once great US of A more these days like the new US of I against the rest of the world? That is we are simple folk not in anyone's thoughts as the world's main players decide everything for us: whose lives are expendable like the poor Palestinian people these last 400+ days, Putin's former Soviet Union up for grabs by the deep states of the western alliances: the US UK EU!!! Noting as I went, how the US with the help of ISIS are on the attack, with the US Israel and Turkey, in Syria when the implications for the Russian Federation don't look good concerning their access to the Mediterranean Sea... Minister Sergey Lavrov of Russia bemoaning the behaviour of Finland: after all the shared saunas and games of ice hockey a once neutral country turning against Russia... And Putin deciding to arm Belarus with nuclear weapons, clearly wanting not only his Russia to be in a position to conduct the ever nearer Nuclear War, that the deep state of the US is hankering after: or is it simply to stitch Trump up, before he gets into office, by starting further conflicts from which the US will have difficulties de-escalating out of? Then finally the news that Trump's wife Melania has converted to Islam?(This latter snippet highly improbable but what joy if indeed she did and what a game changer that would be if proven correct? So I phoned this guy and told him that although I know he never goes into T-T for more than 20 minutes at a time he should treat himself to 20 minutes more to catch the drift of what could well be WWIII as it gathers momentum? And guess what? No! He started to disagree with what i was saying and thought he would put me right though he would poo poo what i was saying coz as usual (?) he has a better point of view. But hey I wasn't prepared to hear him out. Rather I told him it's okay but I don't want to hear what he has to say, never mind if I'm talking over him. When I believe we each hung up on the other lol. Now it's 2024 12 22 and if this blog is ever to see the light of day this will be a good day to launch it!? WWIII still hasn't fully taken off and the guy referred to above is talking to me still, and each day in principle it's getting lighter day by day so, everyone, time to rejoice if only a wee bit?

No blogs without their bloggers..? 18 1 19 (16) 25 2 18

Which query came to mind just the other day as I started re-reading some old blogs from 5 to 10 years ago from the time I used to post my blogs on MySpaces..? And then with my elder grandson, A, this past month, during the time he has had this equipment to scan old transparencies, he has been engaged in scanning some of mine from the 60s, 70s and 80's during my days of film cameras, I got to reviewing the best part of my collection of old pics, and in the process ran across slides of my wedding day to A-E, my wife of 50 +years, and far better than the ones we had done in a studio on the morning of the day of the ceremony...Then one slide box containing pics of all my old girl-friends, not an enormous collection and not all pics of girls I was very serious about... So then I got to reviewing my memories of these events and situations to be impressed yet again how one's perceptions change about who we were and what we did during our lives, and because I happen to have a...

We have all heard this expression and I expect those of us with a good imagination can conjure up in our minds what it must be like. But I do not fall myself into this category of person but instead in order to imagine what it must be like I have to experience something similar which is the subject of this particular blog... You see I have just returned from the dentist and her technician when at the beginning of the week I felt something akin to the condemned man on death row with his imminent demise rapidly approaching: in a very small way it has to be said but, nonetheless... And growing old is in a bigger way rather like the condemned man waiting it out on death row as little by little all the things dear to him and his belongings are stripped away... Not that I am complaining you understand but only reflecting on what it is like. Like before in these blogs I have quoted from the bard William Shakespeare: “...sans teeth sans everything.” Powerful words indeed and ...

When I last visited a Rotary Club Meeting...25 3 18

I was just 20 yrs of age plus maybe 7 months. It was subsequent to the 17th July since that was the day I first stepped onto Finnish soil. 10th of August to 30th of September to be precise, the time I was employed by Kymene Ab or Kymin Oy, the one Swedish the second its Finnish name. So some time between these two dates after Engeneer Örnhjelm, the Manager of one of the two Production Plants, one for Wood Pulp Production the other for Paper Production, invited me to accompany him to their next meeting and tell something about my background. What I told them was that I had worked at a Paper Mill, New Bury Paper Mills Ltd., belonging to the Wiggins Teape Group, for 5 years since leaving school in July 1955. A Paper Company that used Kymi's Bond Special grade of Bleached Sulphite Pulp. That I had studied Chemistry via the O.N.C. and first year H.N.C. part-time day release courses, the former the Ordinary National Certificate: in Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics in the first year; ...
