CSerS updated...reviewing our club too


enjoyable film , with a positive message.the 5th element... .
The Fifth Element Theatrical Trailer

 Online discussion

 Steve M>  Politicians of all sorts are economical with the truth. Did the Tories tell us they would make huge cuts to government spending if they were elected? I think they did. Did they get a majority at the election? No, but they were able to form a government with the Lib Dems. That's Democracy and Politics in action, something we have gone to war in both Iraq and Afghanistan to promote and support. So should we complain when it is in action in our own country? The cuts we are enduring, suffering, at the moment, whose fault are those? The Bankers? Not really. 

The banking crisis just brought forward the day when we couldn't really afford to repay the loans we had taken out to pay for things we couldn't really afford in the past. Politicians have know we have been borrowing too much for years and years. But the hardest thing for a politician to say to the public is I'm going to give you less and they don't say it in those terms, for fear of not being elected. The consequences of this lack of candour with the electorate? Look at Greece, look at Ireland, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Countries facing the consequences of not addressing the over borrowing their politicians sanctioned to keep in office. Politicians in opposition don't tell the truth for similar reasons. Labour have shouted at the government about every cut, but never said what they would cut. Now, just this month, they have quietly began to say that if they get into power, they will continue they cuts. Politicians of all sides need to treat the electorate as adults and tell us the truth. And then tell us how they will deal with it and let us chose.

CS> i am surprised that anyone is surprised that politicans just serve their own interest! Steve, u sound like a victim, people need to dsop giving their power to whose who lie, its the same since thousands of years, "treat ppl like adults" ??? ppl need to BE adult! and take respnsibility for their own lives and the local & global community..u mention all those countries with "problems" yet the truth is the world is bankrupt (the USA debt is bigger than all other countries combined) ..too much debt and too many ppl living on credit..the world is mad! "democracy" is a joke when ppl are taught to be like sheep!..so few have a mind of their own, or dare stand against the herd..! its all too ridiculous to be serious about.. :) "an illusion" thats more funny than a monty python sketch ..

I have made a proper reservation at the hostel for Dani too! as my guest, so I am there already from november 1 , It is city hostel (u can see all information @ http://www.couchsurfing.org/meetings.html?mid=172948 ... ) so Ill wait her there Prizren in 2th november from Belgrade
============== check the latest events on  CS & LIVE r BIRD footy CLUB     an open social not for profit club to bring people together who know how to party & enjoy themselves no matter where they come from & to enjoy & develop social & fun events and tournies ;)

 head, heart & SOUL was “buzzing” with ideas & positivity from our meeting, I hope mina’s negative waves don’t disturb U too much more
Mina has a lot of energy but needs to be “centre of attraction” what we call a “drama queen” if she could direct that energy into positive things and attitude she could be a lovely girl, but at the moment she is “trouble”

I want to share ideas with U all,  to involve U in the club and subsequent charity activities (even if U don’t come to our project) we can discuss in Pg and again in December
and talk about our project, it looks very positive for next year..i would have invited u to a special meeting of our club 1-5 november in Prizren

...song by "Squeeze; "up the junction" that we listened to, ... Ian Durie ("hit me with yr rythumstick")
and i miss u. ...if U come back its to visit CS, nogt via CS, a warning that we will obey no-one rules except
mutual respect, and test each others limits... share films & music and not complain about choices..

scene with Woody Allen & MARIEL Hemmingway ("eyebrows") ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSIdp9AHIvQ

Poem for Triin..

"snowhite" is obviously a mass-debater,
its not that difficult to hate her ;)

Causing confusion in Pg, lost notebook, phone and I, my atm card..
ooooh, she makes it hard! :)

(warning! :- she eats quite a lot, but isn't really that "hot" !)

in a couple of days can wreck yr head!
but she didn't (yet) wreck my bed!

but also saw that she can "care"
and that today, is (again) so rare..

NOT an angel from above..
but someone I could love
in a woody-hemming-WAY,
should not really say..

she's a (nice) sort of evil, "have a nice day"

(p.s. this is neutral, until U return to correct it...! ha ha ha...)

I got your message, but couldn't reply because I was in Croatia for a while longer than I planned, and couldn't use internet. I'm arriving to Podgorica anyway

Spent a great few days with Chris chattin football, taking a day trip to
the beach, being tailed by C.I.A and avoiding the tourist traps in the
city. Really laid back guy with plenty of great stories from his travels
and tribulations. Thanks so much for a relaxing few says and great
company.
Ps There is a Liverpool bar in Shkoder - complete with Y.N.W.A in huge
letters on the wall! I think they are waiting fr you!

ChriS >a ditty  for "Corny->Istanbul-Raz" :)

so U travelled x Kilometres from Corny, & so..
 got "lost" in Toloshi, Pg,
ha ha the locals really dont know
where "here" is, U see?

Those "boots are made for walking"
(romanian - italian design , i note)
they probably could also start talking
with the socks, i'd vote..

had a few days in Monty
the wild-beauty U didnt see
went around the "highlights of of this city
Park, bridge, caffe "Berlin" & me..(he he)

"You'll Never walk alone"
the REdS are always singing
well our spirit is with U, & yr mum on the phone!
and hopefully over the Bosforus(Rafa) bringing

So thanks for the visit

Chris Chris Chris.
I will return a reference. But not now. Tirana is okay, prefer Montenegro. Now I am debating with myself.
If I'll go to Macedonia, or back to Montenegro, or, or.. I hate plans and I will not make any. I know one thing, we'll meet at least once more.

When I was on my way to Albania, a driver kept insisting.. be careful, be careful. I mentioned Kosovo. His reply was.. FORGET Kosovo. Maybe he was paranoid. I'm going to head out now. Bye Chrissy
:)
ChriS SmiTH> in which direction? 

TRiin> The honest answer. I don't know. I have thoughts in my head. Greece. But they're thoughts. I will see when I'm doing it.

ChriS SmiTH > btw there is only one difficult area in kosovo (on border withh serbia) ..paranoia!!! come back to podgorica! ? ;)

CS> To M-law

btw do u see much of yr uncle Chris? ( a local guy proposed the idea of organising "Liverpool nights" event weekend here in Monty... i mentioned it via my "Linkedin" network, (are u on "linkedin" - might help yr writing service??) ..

"to increase Liverpool's "global exposure" I am currently planning & promoting a special connection between "Monty" & LIVERPOOL

...as U may know I am a sort of (volunteer) "Liverpool (REdS) missionary" here in the balkans ;)

 and our local club members here are organising  a "Liverpool nights" long weekend non-profit event for early next summer, and I would be grateful, personally,  if u became involved in the idea to raise awareness of the important role LIVERPOOL has played in music,  culture & not forgetting our world famous footy club..

the aim is to inject a positive experience of our culture (especially music & footy) into the progress of a previously conflict - affected region..& invite Liverpool ppl here to experience and connect with creative projects...

...and from the results bring creative support activities to street kids too!

the first event is expected to be in early summer..2013, if u agree I hope U would grace us with your presence

 Times has changed a lot here & Montenegro is also becoming the "in" holiday destination, and we would be pleased to show U around, as our guest,  during the very FIRST events weekend...

& inform u of the many activities that can be enjoyed within economy budgets here ; such as group seminars, nature treks, campaing, hostelling, rafting & of course fantastic wild mountain & lake scenery and several beaches to enjoy!
sincerely,
ChriS SMITH > Hiya M, had a "heavy" night with a local girl, (well , shes in her early 30's) although i get a lot of girl visitors staying with me, this was the first time i have had anything like a "date" since a long time.,...... we have taken over a year to get to share a dinner here in the city , and she found the most expensive vino in Pg! ...blown my months budget..but was nice even though she forget to tell me before that she has a boyfriend (doctor)...a rare departure from my economic style,although she might get involved in the community project of our club, helping people start-up with their own eco projects & enterprises, so i wonder if she gets to know me .....(it takes a long time ...) ..... as we have some rare rain today, I am staying in bed or on the bed,, spending a while on the net and watching easy tv ....with a cuppa , no visitors .....and just being ......ME! ;) ....

M>    Yeah, l'd still like to meet up but just as friends, think you know that tho. Head still really f*cked x

CS> ok, i dont like the word "friends" (i have almnost 3000 on Fb!) i dont think about life like that...i dont like rules & regulations , I know yr limits and respect them ..thats it, for all i know we might hate each other when we meet..although I doubt it.. i just want...honesty,,,and whatever that brings...I would be pleased to share some time with U and "unf*ck " yr head! ;) .... by the way, if I dont swear or write that way, i am not being "holy" ..its just that being away from Gb since more than half my life , I have cut out "street language" and only insert 4-letter words when I REALLY am angry,,,so IF I swear U know it, Lol...hope U have a good weekend..x btw ...I will be there from friday afternoon through to Sunday evening so I hope u can find time...I will take the chance & book the room soon.. ;) i am prob. a bit jealous too.. so my opinion isnt entirely objective .. take care , are u still struggling with the situation concerning yr ex?? do u want to tell me? x

M> Thanks mate...there's nothing to say tho...he's not trying to get back with me...we seen eachother twice this year and it's him avoiding me if anything. It's so hard to deal with, someone loving me so much that he won't be with me incase he hurts me by cheating on me, like he has done in all his previous relationships. Makes me love him even more, that he's so selfless and putting me first...x

CS> ..ok...!! as long as u know what u are doing... ..I just said goodbye to a lass from estonia, 21years old..she thinks too much, but it was nice to help her on her way.. x turkish girl arriving tomorrow, less & less visitors, although still sunny (30degrees C again today) ....am gonna have an early one, in a quiet reflective mood.. x we started this contact talking about spiritual connection, and I felt that too, but since i gave u those links - u seem distant and unable to open up again, i know u are busy, but as much as i might (!) want to get "into U" I have the ability too, to bring myself back and reflect U, I am booked to come to Lp in december, before I book my accomodation, I was considering taking a room in a B & B in old swan...but if U dont want to meet, I wont.. ;) ..I want to communicate with u when u have time,...so ........ when I write "take care" i really mean those words.. & I am here :) x

 M>    Hi mate, yeah, i'm ok ta...just still very confused about my ex...had a message from him saying, copied and pasted:
    "Babe, sorry won't cut it, I kno that but need u to understand I not been in touch BECAUSE I love u so much, but am a player and have never been able to be faithful to one woman...would kill me to cheat on u but I kno I'm a twat an would do eventually. Never loved anyone like I love u. No-one turns me on like u do and doubt anyone ever will. Miss u like u wouldn't believe and hope that some day we can be friends again. No-one gets me like u do. No-one makes me laugh like u do. No-one will ever replace u. I'm always here for u if u ever need anythin...Love u always Ms L x x x"
    Grateful for the honesty, i suppose but wtf? My head's a bit f^cked!! x

CS>    maybe he is being honest,.but it reads EXACTLY like the stuff my dutch girlfriend used to send me after I had stayed away..the question si do U trust him? and do u want to share... ? is it more a less a case (similar to me, when I left Holland..) u either go back or go forward, there are no rules,. only consequences, agreed? U wrote to me that U dont EVER want to get into that situation with anyone ever again,, never is a long time, but if u want a new life..u dont want to be an old wife? ..only U know , only u pay for yr decisions, kid, and u dont need me to explain that..but i am here..I'll play devils advocate too. i appreciate how hard it is, I was tempted several times, (hey i have been "solo" for almost 3 years now...) to dive in to "anyone" or go back to Josee ..but I feel thats just asking for pain./..thats MY philosphy, it doesnt have to be yrs!

Hey, don't get offended. Because I know you like to joke, I thought you might have added your cat as a guest just for fun :) and by the name I couldn't really tell. Anyway, your booking's fine. First come, first served as I said. The last minute ones will have to wait and see. Will tell the hostel manager - Chris + guest and as you'll be coming together, that should be fine. I wrote to everybody I had doubts by the way!
Thanx for replying. You made my job easier as I have already asked for extra beds.
See you next week!

Vesna,
I didn’t want to mention it..but Slobo made a negative action at a party last year , seemed to object to a mature man being in a CSer party..
...last night i took a Turkish girl to meet the podgorica group, they are (typical of MNE) a bunch of young snobs who didn’t want to greet me,

Its not my loss, I have had 50 foreigners here..i dont need them or some little couchsurfing nazi ...

don’t be surprised..if i do not “bother” with him next week..

just because i use humour so not disrespect me..I am not bringing a cat, so treat MY booking(s) with respect!

Helloooo
We are three absolutely great erasmus students. Me and my friend Piotrek are from Poland and Hanna is the one from Estonia. We met in Ljubljana during our Erasmus and we want to move a little bit south to check out the Balkans. We actually play truant now but who cares, our thirst of adventure and travel is stronger than thirst of school :D We travel by hitchhiking to make our journey as cheap as possible, but anyway we think that way is better because you meet interesting people, just like during CSing ;)
Sooo maybe you would like to meet us this time and share your couch with us. We don't need much, we are still young and don't expect much but only piece of couch (can be one for us 3, doesnt matter, just to rest something). If you also have some spare time we would be grateful when you show us around, give some advices where to eat and go.
Why I'd Like to Meet You
You are experienced CSer and we think you know what is this all about :D We think you have a lot of stories from your travels we would like to listen to them.
Karina, Hanna, Piotr

Hello Chris,
We are two hitchhikers, i am Eszter form Hungary my buddy is Vinko from Croatia. We are on a autumn balkan trip. It would be great if you could host us in Shkoder for a night. As we are hitchhikers the exact time we dont know yet but if you are available and home we will send you message 2 hours before arrival. on that day we start from Split our journey. next day after a little sightseeing we will go further to east.
thank you for replying me!
Greetings:
Eszter 
cause sometimes it can apea problem with CS connection
our next plan is go to Prizren maybe you could give us information about tht city :-)
only 2 people answered us about hosting and both of themarent sure... and it would be great to have some place to stay or maybe a hostel... could youhost us? i guess you host a lot of people. i met also with several people who dont host just for one night cause its not the aim of the CS... we are going to balkan mafia meeting in kosovo you could join us if you want :-) Prizren seems anice city!
thank you for answering!

October 29th, 
CS> Hiya Ezter,
hmmmm..
i dont know how much experience U have, but even though english is not yr first langauge I suggest U check the host info/location before posting requests,,

a) I am in Podgorica, not Shkoder
b) I am at the top of the list of people registered in prizren..

MAYBE, we could travel together from podgorica to prizren, if U sort yr plans out! ;) my ph; 00382 686 1****

Jordy > October 29th, 2012 - 11:08 am
If you're not interested in hosting us because I support the "wrong" football team...well, I guess that makes you a true fan, but kind of a &&& :) haha I may not have grown up with the sport like you did, but I played all through my teenage years, and I have fond memories of the Treble just like you have fond memories of Istanbul.

But...if you don't have time to host or there's some other reason, hey, I totally understand. No worries. Again, we won't be in your city for over a week, so let me know if you become available. Thanks for responding (it's more than many hosts have done lately).

Best, Jordy 

ChriS SmiTH > October 29th,
well,  whilst your opening sentence seems to have confirmed u as a typical "plastic manc" ..and dont embarass yourself again or even try to compare your "adoption" of OUR game, which is part of OUR culture with your americanised commercial franchising of everything we love and your nation spoils..that u happen to come here via CS is not goping to avoid the reality, that i dont host mancs or yankers.. and i dont believe U! c1a-o!

p.s. I am not a "fan" or a "fannie" as u may be, I am a Lifelong TRUE REdS Supporter ..a member of the best supporters in the world, because we dont only sing when we are winning, bye bye!

CSerS House-telling

“CS” are my initials and 
“CSerS” are a personal issue , 
because this 
project must be respected

This morning...I had the 2nd of 2 short-noticed Couch requests ... A girl, Raz, doing a walk to Istanbul..but I noticed she also requested couches elsewhere.. at the same time, ...without perhaps intending to abuse “CSer hostrs” she is... even in a small way...because being a “house-tel” is not my “game”....


James from England obviously scattered his requests so much, that he asked me yesterday to couch “tomorrow or Sunday” (yesterday was Sunday) One of the dangers, as I have found out through my charitable & voluntary projects, is that when something is “free” ..SOME people don’t respect it..

 
 I HAVE HAD some great moments & visitors this summer.I made a deliberate decision, due to the somewhat “superficial cafe society clique” to reamin here in Pg, hosting not travelling since almost since May’s CSer “Balkan Family” meeting (apart from Albanian reggae weekend & a visit to Novi Sad, with Anna meeting me there!)

..and whilst CSing is a great project, ...and I can immediately thank the following CSers for contributing to a wonderful social experience and party-time this summer...


• “Les (3) Girls” from Brussels..

• Maije & Jolanta from Riga...especially @ Skadar/Virpazar
• “G” @ Virpazar and last night dancing @ “Ragina Glava” 
• Serjan & his mate Oggie “boys night out” @ kicking a ball in the garden..(in spite of fickle Fred!) ;)
• Sitting in the park, just talking with Anna M from St Pete, and her “film-starring” on the lake & mount by Sute-more beach. (15days hosted)
• Mathilde (off the French Dole) also swimming off the boat
• Jakub & Tomek, talking over brunch in the garden..
• Jayde from Oz & Taiwanese Jade, one just chilled, the other danced..
• The aptly names Serena, who suffered her “kim”
• “Taking care” of exhausted Sylvie..
• Launching Cathy & Moritz into their natural adventure..
• Corey & his buddies on Jal Beach..
• Getting Phil & Antje started on their 2 to 1 project..
• Chatty Magda & quiet Hana, eventually bringing us rain..coming & going again..
• Watching Champions League @ Pg stadium with polish CSers Alexsandra & her Boyfriend..
• A funny dance with Anna S , whilst her funny boyfriend got lost during the “medal party” ;)
• Chatting with Kike (Spanish from Brasov volunteers) & his appreciation of the Pg “night scene” ;)
• Cooking fish & drinking more Vino , with NT-ella ...a joint venture? ;)

Many, many positive memories..

BUT....

 There are several anonymous (Iwona & others) who canceleld late or didnt inform me...plus...

Although I had already hosted the 4 girls & showed them Pg, (we had a funny moment when a local waitress saw them rolling their own tobacco Ciggies in Pg..) Paddy & co (the "doughnuts from Berlin") missed the party I arranged for them , changing their plans at the last minute,...) I introduced them to Rakija at "BerlinCaffe" ("Paddy" got an shtray, see my photos)I am sure they wanted "to be alone" but didnt think about the trouble i might have gone to to arrange a farewell party for them..


Anna M ; a distant & new (jealous boyfriend) didnt have the trust...and despite we spent 15 of her 30 days here, she gave in to negativity..shame...


Nadya K, didnt keep in touch, so i didnt know if they were coming to Pg or not...! ..waiting for Sophie to say if she was coming.. I spent time and energy to make an effort to host Tina & friend, but she didnt respect my hosting, some CSers must remember hosts are not hotels or hostels we mostly do this for fun & friendship…


& C1A Fred, who spoiled a special boys night out, because he was NOT the “centre” of attraction,… accused me of having been a drunk (“drunk a dozen beers!”) and acting as a hooligan, … I don’t drink beer, I drink wine..and I was fine, some locals objected to the turkish lads..and the pud decided WE should leave.. ((a) I first had contact with Fred when he "volunteered" me for HIS CSer Balkans meeting.. ONE WEEK before it shd start, and he didnt ask me, because he couldnt be bothered with it..)

b) without a couch request I anyway hosted him, the 2 others from Istanbul (who were "registered" with me, and we waited for him to arrive, I bought him drinks and paid for the taxi to my place..gave him breakfast..used my place as a hostel..(moved my cable without ask!)
c) he never offered any contribution to wards money or effort.. d) There was no"plan or Itinerary" we 4 spontaneously decided to go "to test Pg night life" ("boys night") ..didnt offer to pay.. (expecting us to pay all) he wanted us to go when HE wanted) …a spoil brat…

 



And probably that last comment identifies the problem, some people are spolit.. Miki K. from Tokyo, (profile deleted!) was obviously not a true CSer, just wanted cheap accommodation and someone to buy her drinks?

Kim…well she occupied my living room, after they (2 ) were supposed to tent in the garden… she got sick, so I didn’t make a “negative reference@ but I suspect that she suffers from “spoilt brat” syndrome too, I wont list my “complaints” here as she apologized..and I am doing my best to remain positive..but just with a word of caution..

9 out of 10 people were good company..and in a cynical world where so many people are negative , this was/is a GOOD result..! ;)
Take care, all CSerS this is worthy of your attention, enjoy this project..and don’t let ANYOne spoilt it for you or me.. ;)
Y.N.W.A> with hope in your heart! Because WE are the CLUB! ;)

OUR club ; = Monty Logic..

OUR club ; a choice
 = Monty Logic..
Be Yourself !
and join
Y-OUR club!



"OUR CLUB" .... we are recommending our global member-friends to associate with "Monty Logic" ...(is a choice; take the REd Pill!)

A concept based on not-for-profit initiative...for all people by ordinary people without any business, political or religious motive...to enjoy exchange of culture & friendship

....most importantly, thanks to a cynical world, currently obsessed with material reward and "security" (..with often a deliberate policy to "alien-hate" the stranger, the "odd one", or the "outsider" ) WE have
managed to find TRUST again and want YOU to share that too..

what is the "Monty" aspect?  answer; ...Monty = my nickname for MNE, and because we want to have FUN as well as friendly associations with local (Balkan region) people.....a bit of "dark humour", irony perhaps
similar to the original and unique (monty) "pythonesque" style.. lets not take ourselves too seriously..




existing "CSerS & "members" of this casual global club, have & shall benefit from fun events, free tours & concerts
sharing of econimic accomodation and travel, and recommendations ; an "exchange of ideas" to help & support each other!

an addition are members of our "Global REdS inter-networker/supporters" who enjoy "having a party" anywhere where
people like to share, sing, wine, dine & dance..

...... this is Y-OUR CLUB!
https://www.facebook.com/groups/152996974833540 OUR CLUB!

http://www.couchsurfing.org/meetings.html?mid=172948  ..for the local mebers of the "OUR CLUB" family..

http://unsub-b.blogspot.com/2012/10/end-of-summer-begining-of-our-club.html

"This is one of those times when you basically have to say to heck with everyone else, I'm going to do what I want to for a change. No-one is going to like it much, but you are entitled to have your own way, your own space, every now and then. Just be sure that the treat you pick is worth the aggravation they will give you for it. "
(CS quote of the week, from me to me! )  



CS> I wonder when the BBC sold its soul to the devil?..(sorry if u are naive, then U wont know that all news items re sponsored by the USA?) ...a) guilt by media... without any impartial hearing (Luis Suarez, anyone?) the anti-doping squad/allied to the mainsteam media show Armstrong to be guilt of serial doping..! - if that is the
case shouldnt american parents ALSO be guilty if they have more than 1 child? ;) 


 b) so the "american dream" that was sold to the rest of the world, whilst they made "war" a business, is now also the "chinese nightmare" as "peasants" are forced off ancestoral land to make way for the new (capitalisT) property speculators. ..communism? never existed anywhere! ...
c) a girl staying with me from california ...went into panic mode because monty dont have "big macs" the whinging spoilt brat, treated my place like a hotel...now she knows the truth & she just met her first "true REd socialist" LMAO! ...and from the corrupt , mad to the ridiculous, rooney = ingerlund capt? ...!

So, MB. & H (the quiet one!) arrived by surprise
MB is cheeky - u can tell by her eyes
so we had snacks & drank wine
exchanged stories, ideas & it was fine...

enjoy the journey! ;) cuvaj se, (take care) ChriS

================================================
G! has written the following reference :

He is not happy about my such a late reference... I know, I know... but I
thought I have already wrote it, so doing it "again" took me some time. Not explaining my self too much I'm coming back to the point :). I stayed for few days in Podgorica in summer while traveling through Balkans. My host was mister Liverpool-the club-life traveler-business-organized-wise-fun-extraordinary personality-Chris.
Now I know, it was one of most memorable meetings! Thanks :)

CS> I want to tell U how much i appreciate yr message, i took a girl from ravenna, who lives in paris, to OUR lake, I say OURS because thats how I recall it ..and perhaps thats "too much" in a world that doesn't want anything more than "cool"  i am TOO much! because I do care TOO much.

 
U are the one I remember, amongst the many happy days this summer,the waiting at the station, time together in Pg, the t-shirt in the morning  we danced so well together
... maybe what i said wasn't so important,
.....but still I look forward, to knowing u more.
CS with a big, BIGGGGGGGG X just to embarass "teacher"

G >Looking forward to meet you in December ! :)
>take care,

M-LAW

CS> if u want to, U will....leave the matrix! ;)

M-Law> If only it was that simple Chris...I'm desperately trying to crawl out of this material world
 l'm living in but the catch 22 is that you can't without the material...I've already decided l'm gonna travel
...<snip> I'm letting fate carry me right now....l can feel it happening and l'm just gonna go with it.
    Ok, a little about me......born as a result of a failed vasectomy,
there was a nine year age gap between me and my sister Carol and my brothers john and Chris were 10 and 12 years older respectively.
 My dad was an alcoholic, though never admitted it. Never remember him sober when l was a kid.
But could he kick a ball! <snip>  My dad was one of the eldest of 15 kids: typical Catholic family.
 Being the eldest he was expected to go to work to help support the family...Shankly wanted to sign my dad up,
<snip> but the wage wasn't good and they couldn't afford to be without my dad's wage
<snip>..l'll never forget at my dad's funeral my uncle Chris sayin to me
"The way Pat played (football), l wasn't fit to lace his boots
...taught me everything l knew" Don't ever think he got over what could've been.
So he drank. Worked too...gas man...
didn't realise how much he earned until he died and found payslips, dating back to 1985
<snip> That was megabucks back then.
<snip> ...There was no happy ever after
...My dad retired after developing Leukaemia in 1986, which he never told anybody about,
not even my mum, throughout the treatment...coz he was that kind of guy
...we found out accidentally after he started getting Alzheimers in 1999
....Next instalment tmrw x Prob 

 
CS>
oh, U just dont realise how much It meant to me, that u (o)pened that up ..THANK YOU! .if i started to tell u all,
there is not enough time for u to know.all...born of socialist family, i started work @16, manager @19,
with adopted daughter and house & all
.. divorced @ 21, biz owner @ 26, whole world in the next decade, then.
...well some things I want u to  know face to face, and a very close encounter that shd be?,
its up to U! wink hugs & big X

i dont think u have read the other blogs yet, have U?

M-Law
    And no, not had chance to read blogs yet...
as you know, got so much on right now tho.
Sun/Mon will give me a rare two days off consecutively tho so l will do then smile x




CS>
    09.30h (10,40H!!)
    me, a "trick-cyclist"?... i just came back from my run..theres open field just outside the door,
ideal to get my head & body together, I was thinking about U! ooops, and wondered....
if i ever want to "get involved again" i suppose I have always been a psychologist since I wsa a kid,
 people twice my age told me their stories , and I listened, and learn t..a lot..
I want to "get into" people, especially if they are attractive,
(i mean that something other than looks pull me towards them..U?)

so take off yr clothes , lay down on the couch..and I will give u my full attention..wink

 I am a giver, in everything.(some tell me "too much.." but its me..)
.i dont really boast,but I have a confidence, in myself and my beliefs,
a little bit of arrogance , so work through that too, come here and the least I can do is to give U some options,
in life..its a big universe out there! smile ............. x...

M-Law
    Elo Cewiu...You still awake?
    "Tell me how you feel!!" You sound like a psychiatrist!!
I'm sure I'll do that one day when l find out myself!!
    What other questions didn't l answer then? x

 
 CS>
    no, i went sometimes about 01,30 (our time) I am now awake, goiing for a run this morning,  pump the blood & clear the mind (as I dont have another way to use up my "energy" ..yet..)  I would like u to show me how u feel .. wink ..so ok, do u want a man in yr life,  and if yes, can u describe how/what that man should be like, ?
(I know u said u want independence, but lady, do u keep to your word..?

    by the way, that "blog" is more a collection of notes as i didnt write much during the summer,  (its still 27degrees Centigrade.. (70's F?) ...might go swimming this weekend though,,. smile x
CS>
    Hiya Kidder, I dont know if u are on the bus yet, but..I got up early to send off my last visitor,
 and i probably go to bed soon..maybe this time U will tell me how u feel,
..i had a quiet day..and caught up on some blogging..
http://unsub-b.blogspot.com/2012/10/end-of-summer-begining-of-our-club.html laku Noc! (goodnight!) x wink
    UnSUB-B: end of summer, begining of OUR CLUB!     

unsub-b.blogspot.com


 Ma-Law
 
    On bus to work seems to be the only chance i get to catch up with people lately!
 Beautiful torture eh? Like the sound of that but that's kind of like cold fire
...never been into S&M, beautiful or not...
I'm open minded like and will try most things once but can't help thinking they may have been the last words
of that MP, Spike Wotzaname...the one who died from asphyxiation by an orange.
Although the VU's Venus in Furs has to be in my top 20 favourite songs.
    Gemini, eh? Same as my dad...we clashed so badly! ;p
    If your f*cked up sleep pattern permits i shall try to get a text rally going on when i get home
...should be around 12ish gmt x grin x

CS>
I dont like s & m, whether physical or mental,(i discovede that a german girlfriend liked it about 10 years ago,
after we split..had she told me before it 

a) would have explained a lot and
b) i would have ended it sooner..) mind U, alternatively, I have had a very loyal girlfriend who also had yr sun sign...
 I can imagine that we could get at each other..or hit it off..
I dont really follow UK politics/tabloid stuff..
i have a global network of contacts & google.. etc..!
 i dont think I have read a tabloid in almost 20 years
..I am not sure having a txt rally with u wil help me get sleep..but..lets see,
if we are both online , why not...anyway.
u still didnt answer the other questions I asked U ...? smile x

M-Law

    Deliberately ignoring someone and then sending a message to apologise for doing so is worrying behaviour,
don't you think? Rest assured that i am not guilty of freaky sh*t like that.
    Just on bus now...what star sign are you by the way? You have characteristics of a water sign, Pisces maybe, but I'm feeling Virgo. X




CS>
    why are u feeling (a) Virgo on a bus, isnt there a law(xxx) against that? wink
and i am not piscied either, even though I drunk a large part of a couple of bottles of the local
(good quality, cheap ) vino...(do u like wine?) with my surviving guest on her last night at my place before she goes back to ravenna,
..as I am a universal gypsy, its sure that both those signs have some influence, i think in the "Venus" (aspects of love?)
and as I am also a secret agent (shhh..i will NOT tell u who I work for ....unless u interogate me ...with beautiful torture,
 i might..) i am a Gem...ini..should have guessed? as I am, a communicator (mercury).. wink

CS>
    so yr sun sign is cancer.? .hmmm...have to go careful with u,
dont want u taking a sidestep out of this connection..
u still seem to be avoiding telling me yr feelings..but ..i shall be patient...
i woke up (04h) and felt like checking for yr message - its a good feeling I have when I read yr messages..
hvala! (thanks) x

    hiya ..
    wink think Ur "note" on yr FB wall indicates that U certainly should "test"(!) the rest of the World,
I dont want U to be a reader, I would LOVE u to build enough trust in me to exchange , to share
    and mutually motivate,,,(although, i am probably over-motivated, if there is such a thing..)
We mentioned "spiritual" at the beginning, so, I will not force you ,
u should only communicate if U feel instinctively that we have a posiive connection..
i hope so... wink x take care...

CS    my sleep rythum disturbed..thats all... wink 

 

M-Law

    Hiya mate...Just letting you kno I'm not ignoring ya just so busy right now. Try and catch up later.
 What's the time difference between us btw? X

CS>
    time difference between US??? hopefully as little as possible wink as far as the zones are concerned u are 1 hr earlier !
...u wont get jet lag if u visit me wink ..u keep sending me messages to say u are not ignoring me...
its nice..but i am getting some sort of reverse phobia ..its ok, I know U are busy girl...
 and i appreciate..your consideration, (no irony in this message) smile cuvaj se (take care)
..I look forward to yr next message... x

M-Law
5:02am Oct 9
Not my problem but am a very good listener/reader if u wanna talk/write. Not surprised by the Californian.
..can't take her ale probably. And why try to sleep? You an insomniac? x

(she wrote: "Na Neil...you're the one who's permanently got his hands glued to his sack (missed that one!)
And are you being sarcastic by any chance there Chris? Pure class that is lad!!!
You got no taste you aven't!!! Bet ya wear Hi-Tec trainies ;) x x"

CS> 01,54 9th october

its 02h here, just got back from the "local" and had to "eject" the californian guest, (KS) she just went too far,
 she came as a friend of my guest..and hasnt respected anything, and as I "host" for social reasons ,
to have fun & make friends with visitors I dont have to put up with a trouble-maker who is nothign but a spoilt brat,
 reminds me of my last dutch gitlfriend, stunning looked and great company (when shes positive) but...
anyway, not yr problem..another reason I am very careful about any relationship
...not that U are looking, obviously , goodnight M.... , sleep well, I am gonna try to ... x

seems ok to as in dont like "american's doing anything" wink i have a "guest " from california, shes ok,  but too often bitching about something because its not like back in the USA and reminding me why i didnt respond favourably to other requests from yanker visitors, (u know i started a campaign to get FSG OUT of our club almost as soon as they announced their arrval, for me they are worse than G & H because Henry suckered a lot of fans with sweet "PR"
...btw I also wrote lyrics for an italian girl when I was in Freiburg..just for fun ..and also helped young musicians with support etc and an irish lad called "Raemon" who had a hot with "Super girl"
just after i helped him get started (i "discovered" him jamming in a german wine festival..near where I lived before)
..so we have aanother common "talent" ?
... I sort of act as club "host" here and will help someone in the neighbour hood extend my hosting into a casual club hostel
..anyway will write more later..i have just got up,, but, u see I dont want to know "your best"
..i have no interest in only knowing u when u are up, If we are to be "friends" of any kind in any true sense of the word then i (repeat!!)
I WANT u to share the "boring" because those few lines tell me more about U than the "fun stuff"
..and I am sure we can exchange plenty of that ,, especially if u accept my invitation to visit ,  I dont care about yr age too much, I am certainly not yr grandad, might be young enough to be bobs son, but,  for me i have more energy than a lot of teenagers I meet..i could act like Yoda or a 10 year old..it depends... on me and who i am with..obviously..get some rest, and read u later...if u want.. x

...not sure i am a fan of "pedantic" but it could make for an interesting arguement... LMAO! xx

    October 3
    CS>

        Hiya Mandi, I noticed u were having a "bit of a go" at someone on FB ..? ..do U like to wind 'em up...?

     M-Law>

        Who are we talking about here? Probably a wind up...l'm a terrible wind up...can't help it...get myself into all sorts of trouble wink
 
    CS>
        hmmm we may some things in commone,, take care x

        M, if theres any way u can affod it , get a cheap flight to Pristina, theres a GREAT weekend ...  BalkanFamilyMeetNov12.jpg
        just to be serious for a moment...i really would like us to know each other..I have been "on the move" more than half my life
..and no one knows me..loooong story, id like to know yours (stories) smile

    M-Law>
        Wouldn't be able to get time off work despite all the other complications mate...gonna be next year for me.
        Being on the move for so long must be an amazing experience but can imagine also very lonely.
As for my story I'll give you a run down tomorrow...I'm in work now but off then so have more time to chat.
Talk soon wink

    CS>
        I look forward to it, I dont feel so lonely, although I do/have almost always been (& feel ) Alone.
(even if lots of ppl are around) . there's a subtle difference..
but having had so many extreme experiences, & come close to death 5 times I am so lucky to have had so many great and unbelievable experiences
and all the emotions that go with them..I have lost all those I loved along the way (not by choice!)
 ...BUT i can not regret anything, because the difficult times taught me deep lessons and helped me enjoy so many beautiful moments all the more..
/// Yet ..I feel there is much, much more to come ..and I want to share that..with someone i respect..
that may be a strange thing to say to U right now, but I dont believe in hiding who or what I am ,
I say whats on my mind and I mean what I say..if that bothers U i can respect that too... and will be "quiet" wink
... over to U ..I dont want to know too much about yr work, but i do want to know who U are..if u want to share with me too. smile
  
    M-Law>
        That message gave me shivers Chris. You're so like me. Talk soon x
   
    October 4
           When l say you're like me l mean on an inner level...our lives couldn't be more different. I have left this island only once in my life,
 going on a ciggy run to Spain. My life so far has contisted of two long term relationships...
the second of which is at the end: actually has been for years. That's not of importance tho, like my work
 (Tesco, team leader/robot is all l could say anyway) Had my heart broken once when l had an affair with a guy who was also with someone else.
 I accept that was my karma: l don't like to be indebted to Karma.

        I know you won't think me vain when l say this, because l know you'll know what l mean, but there aren't many people who are on our level,
are there...we're more like the 150 watt bulbs on a string of fairy lights, aren't we?

        I like that you respect me: l always treat people as l'd like to be treated and always remember my mum telling me:
"You're no better or worse than anyone else"         As for speaking your mind, l'd have it no other way. Expect that from me too.

        I know the loneliness/alone thing you mean...l can be in a crowded room of people who might as well speak a foreign language.
        I don't know what's changed in me lately, but something has...lt's so strong and profound that l can't ignore it any longer
...like a magnet. I don't believe in God but l feel this is a spiritual thing for sure.
 Maybe l'm going loopy and l should be in Broadmoor and not travelling the world, but l feel l have a spirit with me:
I see her, in my dreams...a Native American squaw...bit like Pocahontas, but not a cartoon...or maybe l should lay off the wacky baccy!!

        You're spiritul though, aren't you? And you've seen some things too, haven't you?
        Getting tired now anyway, but one more thing: don't wanna talk about my day job but lately l've been looking into freelance writing.
Never had any experience but l've been told a couple of times to try it. So l did. Got offered my first assigment last week...it was a shit job, writing a 500 word blog about roof lights, but l did it. Got my 100% positive feedback and FIVE STAR rating!! I'll be quite honest, l weed myself a little bit coz l was so excited!!! So excited because this should be the start of some continuous jobs...this is what l need to finance the travelling, and l can do it as l go. How perfect is that?
        Oh yeah, one more little thing...<snip> "Silent Knight"... YNWA
        Talk tomorrow x

 
 CS>
 

M,        I woke with your words ...
        I read them again at 08h this morning... I smiled and was touched deeply when I read yr message, again.
        ...I wanted to reach out and put my arms around U, to hug U, to hold U and
        share the warmth..to protect u, yet trust u too..

        am i "sharing & caring" too much?.. I 'll risk it...

        U see, this time of the year has always been a "dramatic" time for me, usually changes that affected the route I took,
        whether seeming positive or negative, its also the anniversary of my marriage to Jacqui, my 2nd wife who died
        several years ago, although we were seperated, I loved her deeply, as she was one of the "few" who came close
        to knowing me and she was beautful inside & out..

        but, although i dont want to linger on the past, the TV news reminded me ...of this.,..

        Love me do..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xuMwfUqJJM = 50 years of the Beatles ; A LIVERPOOL phenomenon ; (just like our Footy) wink

        Music & football ; the passions that dominated the whole of my life, no matter who came in or out of it, wherever i am...these 2 things
        were always there, and LIVERPOOL..the phenomenon...and "Shanks" - probably the one person that impressed me,
        though I nver ever came close to meeting him (if I had have done, U would have had to haul me away...with a tow truck)

        and now U tell me about your Uncle, <snip>, but didnt know...
        as a kid I watched th team and was a RED from the time i could kick a ball.. I still do and play with a local 6-a-side team
        and coach the kids (when they let me!) wink

        I could write so much to U at this moment...but ....

        I want to be careful and yet at the same time "dive into you" like a lake.. u could be winding me up, but i dont feel that..

        Yes I am spiritual rather than religious..I sense people and things, and...well somethings I want to explain face to face..

        I want to keep our humour...but theres also "REdNeT" (https://www.facebook.com/pages/REdNeT/245954208796041)
 which is my place to campaign against the y*nkers.. wink

        I never went autograph - hunting, I met some players , very briefly by "accident.."         but i tend to feel that one shouldnt meet one's "heroes" and I know that I would have given 10 years off my life to
        have played for the REdS ...

        anyway, back to U..I write a number of blogs, for myself more than anything..        (heres a couple of my SEVEN blogs...as I dont want to scare u away..ha ha...)

        Anti-ChriS ; No I wont give u that,yet, wink this though...
        UnSUB ; http://unsub-b.blogspot.com/
        & a bit of my story..(3rd of it anyway) @ http://now2balien.blogspot.com/

        <SMILE>

        I nearly lost my life several times, so I wont hold back..incase the time is lost....now I feel we have some understanding between us..
        I offer U a chance to do all that which U mention,, and me ... what a deal! wink
..maybe when U wake up those "voices" tell u to stay away from me..well remember the "wolf story"...I know which one I am feeding..! wink

        and I want U to enjoy what I do..and U!

        smile thats ok, I "unloaded" quite a lot on U, I thought to myself after writing that u might be "tested" to cope with it all,
but i guess u either can or u cant... i am not in a hurry...take yr time, i'd rather u take time *& reply in that way..
with care..(I saw Bob is "scoring points" promoting yr writing service, ha ha..so, u can post it on the OUR CLUB FB group if U want...

        Hiya mate...just letting you know l'm not ignoring you, nor have you "scared me off"! As l mentioned l got lots going on at the moment
 and really have no energy or motivation for much else at the moment.
 I'm on a bit of a downer to be honest and l'm not the kind of person that likes to "talk about it" I know the problems and I know the solutions,
or rather the lack of in my case.

        Hoping to be back on par shortly tho and look forward to some intellectual/soul stimulation which is so very lacking in my life right now.
 Talk soon.         Oh yeah, Bob scoring points!! You make me sound like a competition prize haha!! x
  
CS>

        its just my "ironic" dark humour coming out..I dont see u like that..but///....i dont reallly know U enough wink
... anyway I am glad I didnt over-load U, I think IF we are going to have any sort of positive relationship (if thats the right word to use now,,)
 i WANT to know U when U are "on a downer" ..and as I felt we realsied some "trust" level,
 I would certainly tell u how I am, good or bad, I have just done an "all-nighter" at the irish pub in budva on the coast
(had a wine/fish festival, but met some ppl in the pub and left there in the early hrs after protecting a barmaid from a drunken local
(happens rarely, but bit of "drama" made for a bit of "drama" ..heres something for soul..      



   M-LAW

        Round here that'd be you protecting locals from a drunken barmaid! And does the 'i don't see you like that' imply that Bobby does?
I'd like to think not but I'm really not sure. He's a good friend and although age isn't a big issue with me there must be limits
and old enough to be my grandfather definitely exceeds that limit.

        Just on way to work...groundhog day...listening to some tunes...Waterloo Sunset right now...love that song..
.takes me somewhere else...got offer of some ongoing writing work today anyway so that's good news.
        It's funny yano...can talk for England me but ask me about myself and I'm stuck for words
...think a question and answer thing would be best for me...fire away!! Don't think there's anythin i wouldn't want to answer
...if there is tho, I'll say so rather than tell a fib.

        And an all nighter, eh? Been a while for me...usually accompanied by vast amounts of amphetamine..
i-pod aptly playin "That's Entertainment" as i arrive at work...another day another quid eh? X

CS>
        M=i, ... (ha ha ...i dont go to the grafton that much! i thing the lass here over-reacted a bit,
but we all liked playing the "knight in shining armour" bit...) no not really wink money is not in my daily "menu"
...me being a 15 year "drop out" I left the system a virtual wizz kid but i might have lloked like grandad about 8 am today! LMAO!...
I have 2 visitors from Our club (a girl from ravenna and another from California..)
and they were keen on going to Budva (a popular coastal resort here) for the wine/fish festival
.....so I took them down there and used the opportunity to visit the only "real" irish pub in this country
(real in the sense that its got guiness on draft & an irish owner-manager)
..a lot of the "irish theme pubs" in europe are managed by locals..(europeans)
...liked the kinks...about Bob, seems a decent guy...so I was only having a bit of "banter" (hopefully U will get used to me..)

......questions? ok...so .. -what other limits do u have? - any prejudices - what colour do u like (!)

...what would u prefer to do (as a profession/career/dream if u could get a "wish come true"

..really would prefer to talk spontaneously, ..so maybe I should ask WHat will it take before U share your troubles with me????????? wink

        and would u ever consider a permanent move (say to Montenegro...) ?? 

M-LAW>
 
        Let's start backwards answering the questions...would i consider a permanent move to Monte?
 I'd never say never but the idea of me travelling would be to see the world.
..would kinda defeat the object if i were to settle in the first place i get to.
 Been someone's other half for as long as i can remember. I need to regain my independence and go it alone for once...prove to myself i can do it.
        My favourite colour is purple of course. As for the rest I'll reply in a bit
...this phone's sh*t and I'm just getting off bus...write when i get in X
   r
        What other limits do l have? Midgets. I love midgets, in fact l want one but not to sleep with.
Definitely not. And would not be attracted to a trans-sexual, don't know why but l don't find l'm attracted to them.
..and poor personal hygiene is a no-no...As for prejudices, no...they're for the skin-deep. Although the Brummie accent grates on me
...imagine havin a bird screamin "F*ck meeeeey!!" in a Brummie accent!! How unsexy is that? Maybe that's a prejudice.

Oh yeah, and American's...they're not as evolved as Europeans yet are under the illusion/delusion that the reverse is true
...no, defo don't like American's....
        Career? Now there's a question...l'm still trying to find that out, please feel free to offer suggestions
...writing is not something l'd ever considered as a potential career up until recently. My ex (the one who fucked my head up)
actually suggested it, so l'm grateful for that...we used to work together, he was my manager, and l'd often send him my own words to well-known songs, taking the piss out of our colleagues...really don't wanna get talking about him though, not because l don't wanna open up to you or anything but because it still hurts and l'm still in danger of caving in and answering his texts so l'm trying not to think about him.
        About sharing my troubles

...wouldn't want to coz they're boring, like being skint, like the aforementioned dickhead etc...love that you say money doesn't figure in your life...l am not materialistic in the slightest but unfortunately you can't even shit these days without paying 20p to use the bog, so without it, in my world anyway, you're fucked!
        Love music...David Bowie's amazing...love the opening line to Diamond Dogs..."As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent you asked for the latest party"...that is to become my motto...Listening to Jon and Vangelis now tho...Somehow l'll Find My Way Home...so chilled...preceded by Great Gig In The Sky...love Floyd too...
        Right, gonna get my head down...and don't worry that l won't get the banter...have a look at my FB wall and you'll l'm a black-belt in it...
        Must sleep now...goin gozzy...
        Talk soon x
        Oh yeah, l've never been the Grafon myself l'm proud to say...not exactly on my bucket list either...Ni=night wink

        Oh yeah, did l mention l'm ridiculously pedantic?
        *Americans without the apostrophe x

Well, I didn't know about fest... but I've had my personal fish&wine fest today :)))) I bought some delicious fish (seabas? have no idea again)
and home made wine... great.
As for the camp, it's rather hard to find since there's no numbers on the houses.
 It's in a pathway just before from the dentist and after the supermarket
. But people should have their own tents since the camp is actually closed.

October 8th, 2012 - 8:24 am
Hello!
How was the fest? Hope you had a lot of fun :)
As for our business (in a good sence of the word), the woman in a camp said that those 2 old houses (600 years old!!!) adjacent to theirs actually belong to some guy whose name is Jean-Luke - he's a kind of a honour ambassador of Belgium in Monty, lives in Budva and develops business "Verona Beach". She does not know his contacts but he can be found in Internet or you can try to find him thru your connections. Then, as far as I understood, the camp itself and some area belong to a brother of that woman's husband. I met him and we talked about possible business, he also gave me his contacts.

(its NOT a business!!!!!!!!!!)

[13:49:07] Chris Smith: hope u had a good journey home..!
[13:51:10] Nat: hmmm.. comparably. I got stuck in Lvov for an extra night since there was no train tickets.
They changed timetable and no one cared about passengers.
At the station I saw dozens of people running to and from looking for chances to get to places they needed. I stayed in a hostel.
.. quite nice one, I'd say
[13:52:34] Nata: btw, in Tivat I saw another desolate close to the camping, it would be useful to know who owns it...

i am very sorry for my behaviour, i wasnt so aware that was the way that i come off.

CS> Hi YaYa :)I also planned to visit Budva this weekend, but its Good for U & yr friend to tent in the Garden ,
& If u can arrive tomorrow (thursday) or latest friday its better then we have some time to exchange stories & see some things..OK? ChriS

CS>
KIM, I  volunteer as a Host for Csers, because I enjoy the social life, for fun , culture & international  friendship… not to be used or have bad feelings..

You want to know what was wrong, from your attitude last night – I don’t think you WANT to know! – U need to examine yourself if u cant
See that U don’t respect the “CSer culture of mutual respect” don’t U?

-    Why Did U make a separate request to couch FIVE days behind Serenas original communication with me, without telling her?
-    I let U BITH crash in my living room, even though u were only supposed to tent in garden, but U “took over” the room as if it belonged to U?
-    Why U didn’t U want to walk to town, when CSers are mostly backpackers & hitchers..!??
-    Why did U constantly “bitch” about everything and everyone, even  the Russian girl – who u never met! – because YOU left yr passport at home , and YOU left yr mobile at home Saturday …causing problems for everyone..like in the car  @ Budva & without consideration for anyone else’s plans or ideas…?
-    (then u expect that Serena uses her italian mobile to make/receive calls etc , when YOU had a “local” Serbian sim, - why didn’t YOU get a 5e sim in MNE? (as u said the Russian girl was stupid – because she didn’t)
-    Why not wait for me to return to  Toloshi Sunday? When we had communication problem, why not use yr mobile to solve problems? Why expect everyone else to care about yr problems?
-    Why tell me and everyone how terrible Podgorica is, and compare with Berlin or Sarajevo in a negative way? When  U should be simply trying to enjoy what is here, not what is NOT here??  U made a “downer” atmosphere, even on Sunday coming to my sports bar and calling  it “sh*tty”…
-    WHY U used ME as a phone service & expect Serena to accompany U to hospital, clinic and get your prescription for U? whilst U occupied my living room , staying late in bed each day???
-     Why claim U had no money , then refuse the food we brought back for U, then spend more money on Chinese restaurant?
-    Why not care that I want to “siesta” but make all the noise??
-     Why IGNORE all my advice (which proved to be correct) then ask other people , who then give u the same info?
-     I put TEN euros on the table last night, and U still moan about money when u are taking  double beer/rakija shots, why make a fuss over a few cents with Serena when she supports U with her time and energy?
-    Why ?  - because U are a typical American spoilt brat? , who wants “big mac”  in every part of the world?? & only care about what U want?? Why should anyone care about YOU, when YOU don’t show appreciation or care for anyone else???

MY opinion is that U owe everyone a BIG “sorry” and U owe youself some honesty about your behavior – which is opposite to the way CSers aim to be! ..funny, tolerant and respectful!

ChriS>hello Kat,
Pity, as he is working on a project that could have potential to involve YOU,

I would suggest U join us during the weekend …in Prizren, meet some of the other member, discuss the future

Dear Chris,
I am sorry for contacting you so late, but I just wanted to let you know that I spent the weekend in my home town,
 so I couldn't meet Rene on Saturday. I found that out yesterday when I was entering Kosovo,
I've got his text message as soon as I put my Kosovarian SIM card into the phone.

I am sorry for this, I was expecting his phone call on Friday, as you mentioned to me in the emal from last Thursday.
The shirts are still here, waiting for you. No worries.
All the best.

an open letter to members of the International Community based in MNE

ref : "Local & International Social, Fun & Footy club"

To whom it may concern

My name is ChriS SMITH, I currently a freelance "volunteer" and grew up in the music & football city of LIVERPOOL..
those passions are important to me.

"OUR CLUB" is open to all,regardless of origin, status or gender, & all ages; particularly those who are tolerant
and want to enjoy a multi-cultura social & sporting environment, without business, political or religious influences!
Thisis a not-for-profit social club, and our immediate aim is to form 2 teams - adults & children to train, play (for fun) and eventually
participate in a local league (beginning 2013) and to enjoy social events locally.

I also offer FREE global english to children (not the "oxford/cambridge or school english; but the language people REALLY use
worldwide) & life coaching (as volunteer).

The concept is open and all participants with ideas and enthusiasm are encouraged to make their own propoals, as this
is "OUR CLUB" & I look forward to hearing/reading your reaction, soon!

sincerely,

ChriS

  =============================================
"OUR CLUB" .... we are recommending our global member-friends to associate with "Monty Logic" ...

A concept based on not-for-profit initiative...for all people by ordinary people without any business, political or religious motive...to enjoy exchange of culture & friendship

....most importantly, thanks to a cynical world, currently obsessed with material reward and "security" (..with often a deliberate policy to "alien-hate" the stranger, the "odd one", or the "outsider" ) WE have managed to find TRUST again and want YOU to share that too..

whats the "Monty" aspect?  ...Monty = my nickname for MNE, and because we want to have FUN as well as friendly associations with local (Balkan region) people.....a bit of "dark humour", irony perhaps
similar to the original and unique (monty) "pythonesque" style.. lets not take ourselves too seriously..

existing "CSerS & "members" of this casual global club, have & shall benefit from fun events, free tours & concerts sharing of econimic accomodation and travel, and recommendations; an "exchange of ideas" to help & support each other!

an addition are members of our "Global REdS inter-networker Supporters" who enjoy "having a party" anywhere where people like to share, sing, wine, dine & dance..

...... this is Y-OUR CLUB!
