A question mark what a way to start a blog? Well just think about it, back in prehistoric times to get a wife you hit her over the head and you had a wife, there were no supermarkets so you had to hunt for food or eat berries, there must have been at least one scientist who invented fire so you could keep warm and if you were lucky enough you found a cave to give you shelter, how simple life was don't you think? No bills to pay, when the sun came up you woke up and when it went down you went to sleep, no tv, no computers and no mobile phones, simple compared to today. Today is totally different, you have to work to buy things and pay bills, you don't have to go to bed when the sun goes down, just turn on the lights and watch tv or play on your computer/mobile phone, there's faming, there's poor people, there's cars, trains, boats and airlines so no more walking to get somewhere and worst of all wars. Which is better prehistoric times or the way we live now, the world getting so overcrowded that we are thinking about settling on Mars one day and if that happens then we'll probably make a mess of that as we have done on Earth with global warming, as if everyone hasn't experienced something different weather wise, hotter, colder, flooding and extreme weather. Sitting here thinking about it I really can understand the things that we have done wrong but can we fix them, I doubt it, we'll carry on regardless with what we are doing wrong and not worry about the outcome of our actions, I would rather be like Fred Flintstone and Wilma, working and all the comforts of family life and not having to really worry as we all do now. What will the future bring, that depends on us and the way that we live, I somehow think that it will probably get worse before it gets better, which is a shame but that's what's going to happen unless we all wake up and do something to make this world a better place for everyone, what do you think?

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...
