Bald and Bankrupt
« on: March 06, 2020, 04:33:20 PM »
 A friend of mine told me about this guy who posted youtube videos of his adventures travelling through FSU countries. He's a British guy and a lot of his travels take him through "backwoods" parts of the countries, not just the main cities. He even makes his way through radiated zones of Belarus to see what life there is like. Pretty interesting stuff. I'll post three videos here but if you do a search you will find many more from many countries.

 Russia...

Shame he doesn't post here.

Alenichka ( if you haven't watch the vids) is reason to do so.

I have never claimed to be a Blue Beret

Spurious claims about 'seeing action' with the Blue Berets are debunked >here<

Wow, even a vid about Semichki...

All the 'best' FSW need Semichki;)


Alina certainly makes the vids even more interesting.

 I must have missed him posting it before then. I guess this can be used as a refresher post.

Interesting..

It seems this guys trip reports were on the RhooshV forum and some less savoury incidents about him are being discussed by youtubers...some of whom cannot understand the Brit speaking English....

Here's one example of an antipodean needing to be anonymous ...slagging off 'Mr Bald'..


The worst internet saddos are the 'anonymous' types...

They get all bent out of shape re those doing stuff they only dream about....

Stands on a corner of a street in Atlanta chasing folk down the street and ends up being 'assaulted' by a lamppost ? ))
