Favorite

What is your favorite snack, if you're watching a football match, a good film, going for a walk or just feel like a snack in between meals. Well I'll tell you what I like and what I think you like. Firstly a football match there's only really one answer and that's beer and crisps, the crisps to munch on as you're watching the game and of course the beer to wash it down but of course you always spill the beer when something happens like a goal, never mind I'll just get another one. Secondly a good film well again there's no choice it's got to be popcorn and a soft drink with a straw so you can sip the drink without missing any part of the film by using a can when you drink the can spoils the view and there's nothing worse than missing a good part of the film. While going for a walk well that's a tough one especially if you're taking the dog for a walk, I think a nice bag of sweets but you have to wait until you leave the dog off the lead before you can open the packet and then just put all the contents in your pocket and your ready to put the dog back on its lead and continue with your walk unless you meet a friend and stop for a chat and then you have to ask if they want a sweet or you could be mean and not ask as there's only enough for yourself? Then there's the in between, sitting outside in the sun and you become a bit peckish and there's a long wait until supper time, so you go into the house and look in the fridge but if you make a sandwich then it'll probably spoil your supper so with your stomach rumbling you go back outside and then remember, the freezer, there's bound to be an ice cream cone if the kids haven't eaten them all so off you go, take a look and there's one left, you think to yourself should I leave it incase one of the children want it to eat, the answer of course is eat it, you bought it and you can always buy more, back to sitting in the sun and enjoying your inbetweener. There's one thing that I forgot especially for me and that is the one and only best snack of all time, can you guess what it is? yes you guessed right chocolate, the problem is that there are so many different bars of chocolate to choose from but of course you have your favorite, mine is because I'm short of a few teeth a bar that I just put in my mouth and it just simply melts away so on to the next chunk until the dreaded moment it's all gone, should I or shouldn't I get another bar but then I remember what my parents always said that sweets ruin your teeth but I haven't got that many but I still don't eat another bar, I don't want to be greedy do I? Well that's all for today I hope you enjoyed reading today's blog now I'm peckish so I'm off to find something to eat. If you enjoyed today's blog then share or even comment, 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...
