Baggins
Music (mainly prog rock) and veggie loving, geeky cat butler living in Hertfordshire UK. A lover of all things LOTR (since I first read it over 50 years ago) scifi and what have you. Ex soldier (Royal Artillery) and other trades ;-)
Good luck with that. After all it worked so well with cigarettes.
This has been going on in some form or another for quite some time. There is an excellent BBC documentary by David Dimblebly from a few years ago that is worth watching. He travelled across Russia and this was going on all over. Ex military in schools teaching weapons drill and love for the motherland. Nor sure when it changed from motherland to fatherland. Maybe when Putin decided to come out of the nazi closet.
There are no plans to bring back other ancient freemen’s privileges such as the right to carry an unsheathed sword in public and to be escorted home if found drunk.
That’s a shame.
Working my way through For All Mankind again. What a superb piece of TV that is. Magnificent. Also Slow Horses and lay night we started Bad Monkey. That’s pretty good as well.
Got to give Apple credit, they do make some good stuff. The quality and attention to detail is superb, even if the show is naff. I was very excited to hear they were making Foundation, and the quality was outstanding. Never finished the first series, it was like watching paint dry. Likewise Silo. Dark Matter? I didn’t even make it to the end of the first episode.
