The Game That Didn’t Stop-GREEK ON THE WAY- 78.3- The program speech in English.

🎙️ The Game That Didn’t Stop.

Act 1 — Opening

There’s a song by Paul McCartney, Pipes of Peace. In the video, it tells of two armies in the First World War, fighting each other in a long, bitter war — and then one day, an announcement: a ceasefire. Silence.

Act 2 — The Quiet Moment

During that ceasefire, the leaders try to sort out some kind of agreement. The soldiers are bored stiff. Each army on its own side… someone finds a ball, and somehow — a football match is arranged between the two sides.

Act 3 — The Game

The leaders keep talking… and the soldiers keep playing. Talk talk talk — nothing happens, no agreement. And then — another order for war.

Act 4 — War Resumes

A whistle blows. All the soldiers head back to their positions, each to his own trench, and off we go again — shells, explosions, the whole lot.

Act 5 — The New Version

And here’s where I say — to Mister Sir Paul McCartney: Do a REWORK. Instead of stopping — let the soldiers and the commanders tell the leaders: “No. We’re not going back to war. We’re carrying on with the game. Leave us in peace.”

Act 6 — Ending

No drama. That’s it. A different ending.

Act 7 — Our Time

And now we get to today… Russia–Ukraine… Iran–Israel–Lebanon–the US… talking faka faka and boom boom — basically kalam fadi.

Looks like they might reach some sort of agreement before the World Cup. Let’s all hope that after the World Cup, all the soldiers go home safely. You know — shalom, salaam, peace.
