Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un met for talks in Beijing

China: Putin Meets DPRK’s Kim in Beijing! (4.9.2025)

The two leaders met formally at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse after attending a military parade in the Chinese capital that marked the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War.

Putin and Kim traveled from a formal reception to the negotiations in the same car, the Kremlin said in a post on social media.

After a bilateral meeting between Russian and DPRK delegations, the two leaders held a one-on-one meeting, the Kremlin said.

Putin also invited Kim to visit Russia again, following on from the DPRK leader’s last visit to the country in 2023.

In his remarks, Kim said the cooperation between Pyongyang and Moscow has “significantly strengthened” since the two countries signed a strategic partnership pact in June last year during a summit in the DPRK capital.

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…

South Devon Railway: Buckfastleigh Station & Steam Train! (1.8.2024)

A Summer Fayre is currently being held within the grounds of Buckfast Abbey – administered by the Church. The priests of the Catholic Church have worked-out a way to introduce a pay-wall which benefits their greed whilst seemingly acting in accordance with the wishes of the monks. Yes – the Catholic Church only cares for greed, political dominance and temporal power. and this is why the Catholic Church has started charging for parking, an initiative enforced by specially hired night-club Bouncers who stand menacingly at the gates – demanding to “see” the tickets – proving the £6 parking fee had been paid! This dichotomy exemplifies the difference which exists between the Christian Church and Christian monastic establishment. The priests want money (as do the lay-people who set-up their stalls) – the monks (who could not be seen anywhere) – want inner tranquillity and outer peace!
