My father yes, Stalingrad through to Berlin.
Myself and my brother, no this was the 60's. Just in case of wolves. Good teacher though.
Hard winters.

Me neither but my father did. Said you needed them to keep awake in the snow on sentry duty.
Regards tea u would suggest Russian caravan, its the most famous. You heat some up in a teapot on the top of your samovar, then each person can add as much of the concentrate as you need depending on if you like it weak or strong, then you add the hot water from the samovar. A good sized pot should last you awhile and remains hot because of the samovar. Only takes 5 minutes to warm up do you can get a constant cycle if needed. You can even buy electric samovars now. Back in the day if we had no charcoal I was sent out with one of my brothers and the rifle to gather pinecones.

Ah but you have to keep boiling a kettle, a samovar remains hot constantly, if you have a large enough one you can make several cups just for yourself over a few hours. Much more civilized.

Its for heating water so you can make tea. It uses slow burning full like charcoal. You can use pine cones as well.
Its nice to get a good pot, a small bottle of vodka, put on some music like Shostakovich, Prokofiev or Tchaikovsky.
Not a football person. Keep an eye on spartak for old times sake. Prefer tennis or cricket.

Fair enough. I enjoy a nice tea as well, not constantly on the vodka, its just sometimes nice to have a small bottle whilst putting on some music, reminds me of home. Have you ever used a samovar?

Ken Clarke always seemed a bit of a political oddity. A pro Europe tory at a time when the majority of his party was and remains anti Europe. Of course another famous pro Europe tory was ted heath.

Ah franky, you think they're sacrificing a dead man (who can't answer) for a living one.
You have a devious mind, sure your not Russian?

seen a interview on RT with exaro news who broke it to msn said there is more shocking news to come out, including old members of parliament and current members. he also said they have strong evidence that police have took seriously about the murder of three children.
how high it goes? well the timing of heath abuse came a day after ken clark was named by a 14 year old boy about abuse , so they are still trying to protect him.
