Playboy

16 April 202117 March 2021 by Gordon Frickers

In response to ‘”Rainbow Lightning Elk

Definitely a Playboy!” on Facebook 17.03.2021,

Rainbow Lightning Elk hey that’s a good one, wot ? a playboy? Me? 🥴

I’ve never had a fraction of the money needed to be a “playboy”.

My spirit might be willing, 😶 my bank balance not so 😄 !

⚓️Besides which, there are better ways of discovering, experiencing, enjoying, for filling one’s life than being a mere ‘Playboy’ or ‘Good Time Girl’.

Slavery

4 February 2021 by Gordon Frickers

Yet again the topic of slavery crossed my path today so permit me to share my response with you please.

Let us put the record straight and be proud of the British record on slavery.

The British have an awesome record regarding slavery.

Author Peter Goodwin, G Frickers, HM Sloop Racehorse.

The video gives some worthwhile balance to the topic.

You did not know about the British and slavery?

You are in good company.

Word of Mouth?

4 November 2020 by Gordon Frickers

“Word of Mouth“, a Nelson and Trafalgar painting well worth the price and more as an “after dinner” subject.

The Royal Navy’s most famous schooner HMS Pickle, described by Nelson as “ubiquitous”, is according to Cornish oral tradition sailing into legend.

Leadership?

30 October 2020 by Gordon Frickers

What is Leadership?

There are to many books and videos on this subject, many misleading.

Most of those about Nelson fail despite frequent references to his leadership, to explain why Nelson was a great leader and how his character was moulded.

This painting, one of my ‘Nelson and Trafalgar’ series has never been pubilcly exhibited, a great opportunity for someone.
