Bollywood days and nghts

 How many will I keep?

I saw no point in holding on for rwo weeks, in the hope of sale sales for my Bollywood selection on eBay; so, I closed my section. I won't miss the small amount of money they brought in. but it does mean there will be reprucussions as I have less to spend now.

The question arises, as I watch the films I hoped to sell, how many, if any, will I be keeping?

The reprecussions of my plan

 I am left with little choice

I don't want to close my shop on eBay, but I have no option. I would prefer to keep the shop open, but it is not selling many of my dvd selection.

The reprecussions of my closure will be minimal. as the income genertaed from my sales in slight, but still, this will mean less spending capacity for me to buy from other eBay sellers.

I must be upsetting Labour supporters on Twitter

 I can't help worrying 

I am not apologising for my anti-Labour posts; I have lived through several Labour governments in my 67 years. The only things which go up are the National Debt, Unemployment, Immigration, and Inflation.

I can't help worrying if the young voters are going to be scammed into thinking entering the EU will benefit the UK. The only people who benefit are those with bank accounts in Europe, and people living in Germany.

Remember this

Before 1972, we were NOT dependent on Europe; we have NO ALLIES in the Eu. Europe despises the UK.

What would amuse me?

 Readers in the Vatican City

Something that I would find amusing is if one day, I checked my blog readers, to find readers from the Vatican City; I rarely get readers in Italy as it is.

I have no way of knowing the religion of my readers, but I am certain I have no Catholic readers in Italy.

Travels in Lithuania

I get around these days 

Yesterday, I had a blog visit from readers in Lithuania; Lithuania is a small state Northeast of Poland, bordering the Baltic Sea. Like many states in the area, until recently it was under the control of Russia.

I would imagine with the internal turmoil in the the old motherland, Russia is glad to not have to worry about its satellite states. The age of the Empire does not last long, they cost too much to keep, and there is always conflict with the country you occupy; it doesn't matter if you talk about the Inca, the Aztec, Roman, or British Empire, the troubles are the same.

Sellers in India

 Meena Kumari and Dilip Kumar 

If you follow my blog. you may ask the question, where do I get some of my Hindi DVDs from?

I have several UK business contacts, but I also have two or three in India. Today, I pondered the idea of buying two box sets from India; one has three Meena Kumari DVDs in; one of which I want, and one I already have, but could put for sale. The third I am not sure about.

The other is a set of six films featuring Dilip Kumar.

This set has one film which makes the price of the set worth it on its own, there is another I want to buy. There are two I already have, but could put for sale, one I didn't like at all; and the others I have no views on at the present.

Black and White films

 How they were made 

I have nothing against colour films; but I prefer to watch a B&W movie as as it was recorded, even if the film is scratched. The most galling thing for me to watch is a colourised movie, I can appreciate the art of the person who added the colour, but it is so false.

Welcome South Africa

 Officially read in the South

I wasn't planning on writing a blog today, but something happened to spur me to write.

Yesterday, my blog was officially recognised in the Southern Hemisphere with two readers in South Africa.

I can delete South Africa from the "other" category now.

I am not stage struck

The Actor within 

Something few people, even in my family know about me, I appeared on stage in a school play. I only had a very minor role at the end of the play, and I never made another stage appearance - not that I wanted to - my only connection to the stage was as a photographer for the Drama Club at RAF Lossiemouth, when I was in Scotland.

This Morning

Alan Place - The Dreamer 

I had a strange dream this morning; it was odd not for its weirdness, but for its content.

In my dream, I was contacted by someone from the Royal Air Force who wished for me to arrange a reunion for the men in my flight.

I recall saying, "That is impossible, we enlisted nearly 50 years ago, and we were never close even then."

I woke, not because of the dream, went to the toilet; and returned to my sleep, as I turned over, I thought that was an odd dream; I did enlist almost 50 years ago. This November 6th is the 50th Anniversary.
