    Ok - I just like to lighten the mood occasionally - nothing personal.

    Sad face. Maybe you could look it up and we could discuss it? If you have the time?

    Do you know a lot about the Greco Bactrian invasion of north India after the fall of the Mauryan empire?

    It’s odd to think that the Brits were still pushing their weight around less than 100 years ago. When you look at us now you have to wonder how that was even possible. Shows how mighty empires come crashing down - quite quickly and easily (a warning for America). I used to have a landlady who was besotted by a Georgian boy and used to go there to go ‘walking’ with him. He threw her over for a very young ‘doll like’ girl with whom he planned to have many children. She was devastated and her behavior became increasingly erratic. She is a fairly famous playwright and has a wiki page so I won’t mention her name. Looking at the map (in a very superficial assessment) Georgia, Armenian and Azerbaijan look like a fault line between the great powers of Iran, Turkey and the Russian empire. So probably not a restful place I would guess. My neighbour is quite fond of Putin by the way - so I guess he likes a bit of a strong man in charge.

    If I understood him correctly he was full of praise for the USSR and how he could move from Baku to Ukraine. I have to admit a certain vagueness about the Caspian Sea, Georgia, Armenian, Ngoro Karabash (?) etc. I don’t think the British empire penetrated thus far - or was it part of the Great Game, not sure. I should brush up on my history. After all weren’t the Proto Indo-Europeans supposed to originate somewhere around there?
