The internal structure of kumquats and loquats is quite different:


The kumquat (left) resembles other citrus fruit, while the loquat (right) has large dark, inedible seeds.

I just went outside and picked a leaf and one of the fruits that fell to the ground. The others in the tree were too high to reach.





What I had thought was one pit was two rounded seeds side by sides. The fruit had shriveled quite a bit.

Georgian Parliament being stormed ..



Because a Russian MP opened the season in the Speaker's seat. He was an active participant of military actions in Abkhazia.

Hi Maxx, it's all kicking off in Tbilisi - again  - tonight - thousands surrounding parliament - reports of a death and others of eyes being lost in Police charges on demonstrators - no idea as to the veracity of the reports

Putin is apparently signing a decree - cancelling flights to Georgia [ from July 8th] - and looking at arranging the evacuation of RU citizens ?!


Misha says there were demonstrations in Batumi last night ?


There were no buses / trains and everything is dealy quiet in 'our' Tbilisi  neighbourhood..


I was thinking that SC could meet me next week in Batumi - coming by boat - but who knows what will be going down ((

I talked with Givi and said things are being worked out.


Quote
Zakaria Kutsnashvili, who was the head of the Georgian delegation in the Inter-parliamentary Session on Orthodoxy, has renounced his MP mandate. “The civil peace and consent are much more valuable than being a member of the parliament," he told InterPressNews.

Hi Maxx

Found this article. too
http://edition.cnn.com/2019/06/20/europe/georgia-protests-intl/index.html

Peskov is the Russian spokesman that told us that Russian Troops were not involved in the military take-over of Ukrainian infrastructure in Crimea ..


Not heard of a Russian Tourist in Georgia that feels intimidated - other than the Duma MP ..


So what does the Kremlin do ?  Speaks of 'Russophobia' and tells it's citizens to come home   :cluebat:

I think it is going to blow over.


When I talked to Givi he told me 45% of his tourist business comes from Russians.


My guess the Russian government's reaction (Putin) is just a reminder to Georgia to stay out of the EU and NATO. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing was staged by the FSB. If Georgia was a bigger player on the world stage then we would have the benefit of the analysis of Alex Jones. Then we would know for sure what to believe. But alas it is not so... 


Meanwhile here is Jeremy Clarkson giving Georgia a big thumbs up  :thumbsup:

Some comments:


Notice the NATO, EU and Ukrainian flags in the background? That should tell you who is behind this.

    This is an answer to a question "is the the CIA Georgia branch doing anything or just waiting when Saakashvili gets elected again?"

  • ProRussiaPole

    Russia, boycott the place, and withdraw economic benefits. Let them go beg US to buy their s*** and send tourists.

Comments from Russia Today 'bots' and loonies ..


You should post ... I LIVE in Georgia and do not know any Russians who are scared ;)

You will be referred to as a CIA rep, Mossad, rep or some other wacko description .. One can't have sensible discord, there !

Hi Maxx, Russia will use this protest to make Georgia 'pay' - by ensuring Tourism is down ...

Russian oppostion  figurehead :

http://twitter.com/navalny/status/1142141689118810114

"“Now, many Russians will not be able to go there for an inexpensive and high-quality vacation. The question is: Why is Putin punishing Russians for Georgian protests?” he wrote on Twitter."


As for Clarkson and co .. in that episode of Granf Tour - series 3 episode 11 'Sea to un-salty Sea2 ..they stop off at a place where Russia's have moved the 'border' south overnight - leaving an Old farmer in his house being cut off from his land ..   I have no idea if this was a setup or genuine

http://www.motoringbox.com/cars/entertainment/the-grand-tour/sea-to-unsalty-sea-the-grand-tour-series-3-episode-11-preview/

Sadly, this will not be short .. this is to 'teach Georgia a lesson'

He may enjoy good wine but he obviously isn't the sharpest tool in the shed

That was my thought too because of the poor wording. But actually he does have a good rounded knowledge of things. Far more than me.

That is my landlord with a bottle of 'cha cha' for me. Behind him is a Georgian Army barracks. If this problem with Russia goes 2008 and I suddenly disappear off the board, it has been good to know you!

The best wine I ever drank was made in Georgia.
Fund the audits, spread the word and educate people, write your politicians and other elected officials. Stay active in the fight to save our country. Over 220 generals and admirals say we are in a fight for our survival like no other time since 1776.

Carl Benz patented the concept of what we know as a car..strictly speaking Arpanet became the internet -  Tim Berners-Lee's invented the web protocol

I thought Georgia was one of the first nations claiming to have produced wine
