Just had a huge lunch... I'm so full I thought I'd struggle to eat a dessert, but it was a piece if cake.
Many years ago, Clive Anderson interviewed Mikhail Gorbachevvia an interpreter, on his Sunday evening talk show.
At one point, Gorbachev told the following joke:
During the days of the Soviet Union, two guys were queuing to buy some bread.
One of them was so pissed off that the queue was so long, he said to his mate, "Fuck this, I’m going to kill Gorbachev".
After only a few minutes, he returned to his friend.
"What happened?"He asked.
"That queue is even longer than this one!"
I went to Leningrad for a weekend in October 1982.Old Russian jokes are great, but you have to be an FOC to really appreciate them.
These kids nowadays can't possible appreciate just how tough it was for us old buggers in those days... ;-)
I went to East Berlin at about that time. Weird doesn’t even cover it. Still got the photo of Mrs KS standing under the sign “Checkpoint Charlie.”I went to Leningrad for a weekend in October 1982.
I felt on edge the whole time I was there.
But, looking back, I’m glad I had the opportunity to experience the Soviet Union, even if it was for such a short time.

The first time I visited Berlin was in the summer of 1993.I went to East Berlin at about that time. Weird doesn’t even cover it. Still got the photo of Mrs KS standing under the sign “Checkpoint Charlie.”
