Sports

Why do we all love sport's, whatever sport it is people enjoy that particular sport for mainly one reason and that's to get away from their mundane lives and put some excitement back, the thrill, the game and the companionship. Let's say for instance football, all those fans packed into the stadium all rooting for their team and when they score they go wild and when the opposing team scores then there's disappointment, every emotion you can think is concentrated on those 22 players on the pitch and don't forget the four referees who have to accept the booing from everyone in the stadium if they think they made a wrong decision, that's just football but there are so many sports that have the same emotions even when it's women playing, it's always the same even when you're not at the event in person it's probably on the tv and still shout as though you were there but no one can hear you apart from your family who are constantly telling you that they can't hear you but you still carry on regardless and are oblivious to what anyone says, you're enjoying yourself so you don't think about others unless they are cheering for the opposing team. From thousands of years ago to today there have been competitive sports in one form or the other from the gladiators who had to kill or stay alive to modern times there has been sports, I'm glad that there are as I enjoy spectator sports no matter which kind it is, it doesn't matter as long as I can watch and enjoy it especially when it's European, World or Olympic events, then the emotions reach fever pitch because the stakes are higher and so are the emotions. What about little known sports like chess, backgammon or card games it's always the same, it always comes back to the same things excitement and adrenalin, I wouldn't change a thing because we all love sports and as long as it's enjoyable then so be it do you think the same?

Seventh installment, sorry it's a bit late but its hard to write what I wrote and remember.

The next day it was awfully quiet, the calm before the storm perhaps, nothing much for breakfast so we decided to try and lay the land line. So off we went house to house laying the wire behind us and then the mortars started again so we hit the ground, lying down was the safest if caught outside, there were pieces of shrapnel hitting the wall near to us and it was not a very safe place to be so we decided to make a run for it, that was the quickest I had ran in a long time, it is amazing how fast your legs move when you're life is at risk, "that was a nice little bit of exercise" Eric said laughing, "yes but it would have been better if we weren't dodging pieces of metal" I replied also laughing.  Everyone was there apart from those on guard duty and during the night it had changed from two to three, so I sat down on the bar stool and Eric went behind the counter looking for something to eat and all of a sudden bang and I fell off the stool, they all came t...

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...
