Krispy Kreme - Shannon Corner 2024

Krispy Kreme: I’ve Just Entered the Twilight Zone…! (28.9.2024)

This coffee was worse than the cheapest economy coffee I have been given on cheap airlines – or when eating in greasy-spoon cafes. My doughnut was supposed to contain raspberry jam as a filling – but I was left trying to eat a large ball of badly cooked dough – (empty of any filling) until I reached the extremity of one side. Then a slither of raspberry jam-syrup presented itself (about the size of a match-stick) – but I had to wash-down this monstrosity with a cup of f’ckning awful coffee! My eldest daughter – Mei-An – refused to finish a milkshake which tasted of nothing whatsoever – and seemed to be made merely cold e-numbers in a cup! A cup of non-descript chemicals, no less. Still, we put a brave face on it – as if we were in the “Blitz” – and the Nazi German bombing will not break our spirit of resistance! This was a thoroughly weird and mystifying experience considering how much this US firm charges us – British people – to frequent their premises and taste their wares! Obviously, I am a man of considerably compromise. Should a Krispy Kreme Executive feel compelled to offer my family a voucher of some kind – then I would be more than willing to accept this gift and moderate my tome! I will not hold my breath…

Abbot's Kitched - Glastonbury - 2024

Glastonbury Abbey: Abbot’s Kitchen – St Joseph’s Well! (30.7.2024)

Today, an ad hoc “Wishing Well” has developed in one of the corners of the room. This was probably a drain or perhaps some type of cooker – but in modern times visitors have taken to dropping coins down through the covering grill – and making heartfelt requests in the form of prayers and good wishes. Our daughters asked for good health to be bestowed upon Nana (Diane Wyles), Granddad (Peter Wyles) and Charlotte (my younger sister)! The currency observed spans the globe – which demonstrates the universal appeal that Glastonbury holds. This is not necessarily “religious” (although religion is important for many) – but rathe “spiritual” in nature – the latter category being far more inclusive and all-embracing!

North Korea - Attractive to Chinese Men(?)

China: Five Great Attributes of North Korea! (9.6.2024)

Finally, there is the question of long-term residence. While Chinese men may be fascinated by the appeal of North Korea, long-term residence here requires careful consideration. Issues such as education, medical care, and career opportunities need to be carefully considered. North Korea’s resources and opportunities in these areas are relatively limited, so long-term planning is needed.

In summary, the attraction of North Korea is irresistible to some Chinese men, but it also needs to be treated with caution. People who come here need to be fully prepared, understand the local situation, respect cultural differences, and consider various issues of long-term residence. North Korea may be a place full of unknowns and challenges, but it is also a country full of unique charms and opportunities.

Only with proper preparation can Chinese men better enjoy the experience this country brings and create their own unique stories in this beautiful land.

Neo-Nazi Ukraine - Swastika Flag!

UEFA: Time to “Ban” Neo-Nazi Ukraine from International Football! (8.6.2024)

The Neo-Nazi Ukrainians are parachuted into impoverished locations – and unlike the local people – are seen to be given everything by the State. The local people are sat homeless on the side of the road whilst their relatives die of starvation, medical neglect and unemployment. This is how the bourgeoisie are exploiting the working class in Ukraine and in the West. We are spoon-fed antagonistic ideologies – and then give our lives defending this nonsense – as if such sacrifice is good for us! The Maidan (Catholic) regime must be uprooted and thrown-out of the Ukraine! The Ukrainian people must rediscover its Socialist roots and remember the days when the Nazi Germans murdered millions in their territory! Until that time, the Maidan must be punished just as Apartheid South Africa was prior to the 1990s. Neo-Nazi Ukraine should be “banned” from the UEFA Cup!

Israeli War Crimes!

ICC Seeks to Issue Arrest Warrants Against Netanyahu and Gallant for War Crimes! (20.5.2024)

Khan also highlighted the issue of  closing the water lines connecting Israel to Gaza – the main source of drinking water for the citizens of Gaza – for an extended period, starting on October 9, 2023, and interrupting and obstructing the electricity supply from at least October 8, 2023 until today.

The Office of the Prosecutor confirmed that these actions were part of a joint plan to deliberately starve civilians as a means of war and resort to other acts of violence against civilians in Gaza.

He stressed that the use of starvation as a method of war, along with other attacks and collective punishment applied to civilians in Gaza, led to severe, clear and well-known repercussions.

He pointed out that this method of warfare led to problems of malnutrition, dehydration, painful suffering, and an increasing number of deaths among Palestinian civilians, including new-borns, children and women.

Training Disabled People!

China: Cognitively Disabled People Receive Training – Job Opportunities – at Amity Bakery in Nanjing! (17.5.2024)

Among the dedicated staff is 44-year-old Fu Fu, who has the mentality of a 10-year-old. Fu Fu has become the “star employee” of Amity Bakery, where his primary responsibilities include introducing products to customers, packaging bread, and organizing shelves. Despite his initial shyness and reluctance to speak when he first joined, Fu Fu has grown in confidence and now enjoys interacting with customers.

During a break from his duties, Fu Fu shared with reporters, “I like it when people call me ‘Boss Fu.’ It feels really good. When I first came to the bakery, I was very shy and didn’t dare to speak. Now, I can talk to people. This year, I hope to learn how to make sandwiches and coffee. If I can earn enough money, I want to take my mom on a trip.”

In recent years, there has been growing attention to the career development of individuals with intellectual disabilities. Various sectors of society have offered their support, helping more people from this community to integrate into the society.
