Even the best dont always get it right do we Fuji ? —- Its forgivable if i get a piccy arse about face——not when “FUJIMO” Blows and posts .
Morning all, and how are things in the US of A today. To say we are in SH-T street over here would be grossly understating the issue. After a year of trying all sorts of draconian measures , our powers that be have decided that nothing so far has worked AT ALL .
Today we are told that there a super strain of the mad covid virus is running rife in Brazil. Now, our government knew about this four days ago—— so , as from TOMORROW—- all flights to and from Brazil will be banned . Pretty bright huh ?
What the stupid sods should have done is STOP ALL FLIGHTS IN MID AIR—— TURN THEM AROUND —- BUT FOUR FECKIN DAYS AGO ! Its not rocket science. Just plain old fashioned common sense, of which there seems to be a distinct shortage of.
Reading my USA TODAY news, i see the new government “elect” is not making any plans towards putting the economy straight —-or fighting the virus . Sole purpose is to impeach the ex president and put him on the cross. Bit like NERO fiddling while Rome burned all those years ago.
Ive known Kenny Kitson for fifty years, Listened to his ravings against an elected president for the last four years, without comment. Its his country and he is entitled to his opinion, but ive watched the criticism turn to pure hatred without a pause . Now Kenny has got his wish, and his beloved Biden has been elected i thought his rantings and ravings would stop. But no, four times a day, nonstop is getting a bit much, even for my tolerable constitution. Time to let it drop Kenny. Im not telling you to let it drop for any other reason than fact is , you are making a right Pratt of yourself .
FRom outside the USA , looking in, and with no particular preferences for either party, to me it was abundantly obvious from the onset of the election that it wasn’t Joe Biden the dems were voting for , as Ms. HARRIS, but why didnt they put her up as the presidential candidate ???????
Joe is an old man, a bit doddery and ailing rapidly— wont be long before he is sidelined and Harris will be acting President. Just saying ——‘S all. Nothing but my opinion ——.

When WL dont matter. I cant help when or where i was born, sure as hell wasn’t as a “PRIVELIDGED WHITE”. I went to school in patched pants and darned socks {along with hundreds more just like me} My dad worked hard, went to fight in a war, mother worked as a truck driver for the duration, i was left to feed and look after my young brother.
This is just a fact of life, not a moan or a criticism, i was born, still making the most of it, squeezing the very best i can out of life . Due to mitigating circumstances, Two countries have dominated my life ENGLAND and the USA —- it just happened that way.
With this damned abomination of covid rife all over the world, common sense tells me that ALL countries should be working together to bring about its end.
I dont see any sign of this at all anywhere in the world ——-Europe is more divided than it has ever been , America Is at war with itself . Far East is on the rise . Russia is a spent force but not finished yet . China is the only country in the world that is dominant, how the hell did that happen?
SHEFFIELD WAS RENOWN FOR THE BEST STEEL PRODUCTS IN THE WORLD . USA WAS UP THERE WITH THE BEST,
along comes China,produces crap at half the price , everybody buys their throwaway goods ——Sheffield closed down all the steelworks —— Pittsburg and Detroit are no longer the force they were,
Remember the old adages —-YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR———YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW—-QUALITY ALWAYS SELLS ?????????
Just my thoughts for the day—-‘s all. Just saying.
..."russia is a spent force but not finished yet"... please expand on this. whats russia's story these days, from an eastern european view. we/i know very little over here about its economy, etc...
OK FUJI, Here goes —-a brief appraisal of the state of the Soviet Union by an out of touch 89 year old Englishman. One has to go back to the time of Gorbachev and Glasnost to begin to comprehend what happened in the USSR.
Citizens were given a brief taste of what the western world was like, USSR was bankrupt and still at war with the rest of the world . Bit of an uprising, government owned everything——all the gas and petroleum, mining and technology, everything in Russia was state owned ——- to be continued.
breakfast ready.
EASTERN FECKIN EUROPEAN ???????? Look at a bloody atlas Fuji——- GREAT BRITAIN is the mostWESTERLY POINT of Europe!!!!!!!!!
Bananas and yoghurt——— toasted crumpets with Philadelphia cheese and the last one with Cooper’s coarse cut marmalade. But you dont want to know any of this, why would you, its got sweet FA to do with the break up of the Soviet Union. [DISILLUSION OF THE THE USSR. ]
Well, along with the uprising and insurrection came a group of bright young things that could see opportunities never before seen in Russia.
All the government held industries were sold off to pay the soldiers wages—- some had not been paid for years. Suddenly, a bunch of individuals had money. They bought all the industries that were being sold off. Coal mines, refineries , railways , airports and industry. Everything was up for grabs .
OLIGARCHS were born———- you know the ones i mean—- those that make the Arabs and millionaires look like village grocers . Biggest yachts and football clubs in the world—- all owned by the RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS.
VLADIMAR PUTIN is reputed to be the king of the oligarchs——- a combined wealth of more than Bill Gates and Elton Musk put together. {least, thats what ive heard} . YOU WONT FIND ANY REFERENCE TO HIS BANK BALANCE IN FORTUNE 500—How smart is that ? Bet he doesnt get any begging letters from third world countries either !
ALL THE TIME THE SOVIET UNION. Is not fighting a war, its saving money ! Even the fight with the Afghans which has been going on for hundreds of years has ceased . [russia has no chance of ever winning that one]
Not saying i actually know anything—— just my take on the Soviet Union and why its laying low at the minute. You asked —i commented - S’all Fuji !!!!!!!!!
...oops. this damn typewriter!...lol...Quote:

Nah, less money in it than making „“CONCEPTS“— which is of coarse BUGGER ALL !!!!!!!
IM OVER 200 PAGES INTO MY BOOK—- WHICH IS MOSTLY ABOUT RACEBOATS AND RACE PEOPLE.
SLIGHT problem in the fact that Seebold {Billy} and Richie Powers are both writing books. What. Chance do i have ? I have more pictures !!!!!
