Pounds or kilos

Pounds or kilos what are they well their units of weight which you use every day, different terms in different countries but it still means the same. What I really want to write about is a word that I really hate and that is fat. Isn't it terrible when you hear someone say that he or she is (I'm going to use the word overweight not fat) overweight, how can some people be so unkind to that person? What difference does it make if someone has a few kilos more than they should have, why is it so important to comment I have no idea but it's not nice. When a person is overweight then perhaps they have some sort of medical condition or perhaps they just like eating, every person is different and they should not be judged just because they are overweight you probably don't know the reason why. In women it could be because of menstruation or because they've had babies, in men perhaps it's because they like one beer or two, who actually knows. It's up to the individual to control their weight not someone else to tell them that they are overweight. I know that if a person is overweight then it does put pressure on the heart and may lead to other medical problems, tiredness, back pain or breathing issues when they walk but the individual will know that and it's up to them to do something about it and there's no reason that someone else should call them overweight. Apart from the medical issues then they probably have trouble finding or buying clothes to fit which I imagine would make them depressed so maybe they take comfort in eating something sweet which probably doesn't help. I'm sure that there are a lot of married couples in the world that when they got married one of them may have been overweight but they still got married because of love not because of how many kilos they had, that's the difference between people that say someone is overweight and someone who doesn't comment because they have no right to do so. I'm lucky because I'm as thin as a rake maybe there's something wrong with me because of that but I'm happy and have people around me who don't mind and that's the same in every marriage, weight doesn't matter. As I said it's up to the individual to control their weight if they feel they need to not it's up to someone else to tell them to do so, so come on people stop talking behind or to their faces about someone's weight, think of it as being kind and polite, take that person as how they are probably kind and funny that's what separates people apart, that's what makes us different, that's what makes us individuals, good or bad. Why not remove the word f.. from our vocabulary then we couldn't use it, it would make a lot of people happier, just think about it next time you use that word and why your saying it maybe your jealous or just plain nasty. Let everyone live their lives as they want to and stop telling them what they look like or that they should lose weight, life is for living and we shouldn't be nasty or hateful to anyone, well that's all I have to say on that topic I hope you think now before you say something...

Ninth installment

The remains of the unit that were in this position left and we followed them, we went around the outskirts of the village and back into the center. The rest of PIV or what was left of it were already there, we found out that Colin just after he had reached the main hq in the center of the village. We had to go back to the end of the street to see what was happening but as soon as we arrived we came under heavy fire as the enemy had pinpointed this house as our new front line, there was no way that we could reach Eric without getting everyone who attempted a rescue killed and because of the amount of enemy fire we had to fall back, on the way Alan started going berserk saying that he had to go back to fight, he was shooting everywhere so George calmed him down and asked him to take care of the elderly and that seemed to work. By now the village command had decided it was time to leave but first we had to wait for the mortar unit to reach safety. We could not get anywhere near under cons...

Third installment

Day in, day out, it was the same routine, sleep, guard, fire off a few rounds in the general direction of the enemy, there was not much else to do, the main thing was to stay alive by keeping inside every time mortars or artillery came flying in to the village. The only time that there was a lot of activitie was when we were buzzed by planes, everybody would rush outside, Ernie would jump on the transporter and fire the machine gun, I used to run to the machine gun that was mounted on a tripod at the end of the street and also fire at the plane, everybody else would be outside firing their ak47s, there was not much chance of hitting it or bringing it down but it took only one lucky shot and that would give everyone hope. After the plane had gone out of sight that the transporter was Ernies because he had shot at the enemy leaving the damaged transporter with a sniper rifle, so Geordi the commander in charge of the defense of Osijek had given it to Ernie, I also found out that he worked...

Second installment

The word money has a way of working it's way into every aspect of life and my little crusade was not exempt, how much did I need to get to Croatia, how much did I need to survive on the way, it all had to be taken into account and most where and how I was going to get the money from that I needed. By inquiring at travel agents I found out that I could fly but only as far as Austria, Italy or Hungary but the price was much too expensive for me. Taking the train to any of these countries was also far too expensive, the cheapest way was by bus but the only problem was that it took so long to reach your destination. The bus that I wanted to take went from London and it's destination was Athens in Greece, it normally went through Yugoslavia but because of the war it was not going through Budapest then down into Belgrade before going onto Greece. This was the cheapest way to go and after further inquiries I found out the times and price of the bus, now all I had to do was get the mon...
