Habits

Have you any habits I have, the worst one people would say is cigarettes, I've been smoking for the last 50 years and I know it's wrong but I've tried to give the dredded weed up quite a few times but with no success, patches, tablets, electric cigarettes and the only one I haven't tried is hypnosis. So far nothing has worked but I don't cough and a few year's ago I went for a test to see if I had any problems with my lungs but the doctor said no so I'm still smoking but not buying cigarettes but rolling my own as the price of cigarettes has skyrocketed but rolling tobacco is cheaper, so I still have the habit but I do enjoy a cigarette with a cup of coffee so I'm not going to try to give them up again. Another habit is drinking, my family says I'm an alcoholic but I don't consider myself to be one, I enjoy having a drink but not in excess so what's wrong with that, perhaps my liver is not in the best of shape but I take tablets to repair them but I still have a drink now and again and I don't see any harm in it, I've been drinking since I was 16 underage but there was always a local cafe where you could have a drink especially if you are wearing a uniform as I was in the army around the time I started drinking, in a way it's a social habit, watching football with friends and having a drink at the same time, I enjoy it so I don't really care what other people say it's my decision as it's my body not theirs. Another habit is coffee, I drink quite a few cups a day and it's another thing that I enjoy although again people say too much coffee is also bad for you but again I'm drinking it and I don't see any side affects to it so why give it up. Another habit is that I like to feel comfortably warm during the winter but when my family comes home they complain about how warm the room is but again I enjoy feeling warm so what's wrong with that nothing as far as I'm concerned,if it's too warm for them then tell them to go outside. So as you can see I have habits and I'm not afraid to admit it and I'm not going to listen to other people telling me to stop, if one day the doctor tells me to stop then maybe just maybe I will, who knows what the future will bring and while I feel ok I'll continue with my habits and enjoy life to the full. Have you any habits, I'm sure you do, do you agree with me or do you listen to someone telling you to stop.

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...
