Inherited Genes
« on: Saturday 26 February 22 11:45 GMT (UK) »
     I was taught; "Jaw, Jaw, Jaw, not "War, War, War", thus, when necessary, have spent my life pouring oil on troubled waters, so to speak.

I was horrified to see how fearsome my Scottish Highland ancestors were.  For instance the Browns of Perthshire were known cattle thieves and the Mackenzie Clan didn't get to own castles and swathes of Scottish Highlands by batting their eyelids.   

Since the plight of the Ukrainians has been broadcast, I've been overcome with a desire to put on a pair of seven league boots, get myself an AK47 and join locals in their defence of their land and democratic freedom of speech.

Presidential appeal: Zelensky also appealed to Ukrainians to resist the invasion, and called for those living abroad to return and defend the country. He also welcomed volunteers from abroad, saying, "we will give you weapons."
