Bothered

Today's topic is does bad news bother or concern you, we're bombarded with bad news everyday and cant get away from it, you hear it all over the media, gossip, everywhere, does it really bother you or do you just don't think about it. Certain bad news is sure to bother you like the death of someone close to you, a family member, a close friend, that surely bothers you but you accept that as a way of life we are born and we die that's a fact. Then there's news like wars, for instance Ukraine and Russia, it bothers me a great deal to think about all the innocent people that are dying because of one man and his stupid ambitions but what can we do about it, we are bystanders and have to just watch or listen to it every day, then there's conflicts all over the world from Israel and Palastine, Iran and America, the dispute between China and Taiwan, Korea they all bother me because of what might happen in the future because almost every country in the world has nuclear weapons so what if one country pushes the button, all hell breaks loose and there's no where to hide so I'm bothered and worried at the same time but you cant get away from the fact that it might happen and who will suffer the most the ordinary people who are going about there daily business and then kaboom we're no more. How does that one person who was following orders feel after he or she was the one to start World War 3, I don't know and really don't care because I and my loved ones won't be here anymore, now that really bothers me. The simple things in every day life like sports, the price of articles that you need to survive and family matters bother me to a certain extent but all can be resolved but World War 3 cant be resolved in any way. So how can you stop events from bothering you, the simple answer is that you can't whatever will be will be and we can't do anything about it, just try to get on with our daily lives and that’s the answer and try not to let things bother or upset you, after all we have to survive from day to day with the cost of living, heating bills, petrol prices, low wages and still not thinking about the future those are the things that ordinary people are bothered about not world politics or upcoming elections, so all I can truthfully say is try to ignore the things that bother you and enjoy life to its full, enjoy your family and most of all enjoy your life as who knows what tomorrow will bring. That's all from me today, write again tomorrow and don't forget to share if you enjoyed my blog, thank you.

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...
