Soviet Union

[DMR]

My geography lecturer was off on one about flying through this place today, during his xmas holidays.

I pointed out that the SU had collapsed 15 years ago and he went mental, a bit like Mad Dad.

How do you tell someone who studies the world that the place where he went on holiday does not exist?

Probably an old CP member, with a romantic attachment to Stalin.

 Once upon a time when closing time in Swindon, was 10:30 in the week the best late night drinking was to be had in the Star Club in Bridge Street which was run by the Swindon Communist Party......courtesy of the legendary Ike Gradwell.

 Of course most of the clientele were Swindon Labour Party....which lacked its own bar.

 Particularly good nights were to be had when  the Labour run Council took a number of refugees from Chile....who escaped the CIA backed Pinochet crushing of the democratically elected Allende government. They provided music and food in return for a collection and drinks.

 Baint like that any longer.
