I left twitter for here but bluesky is too usa centric; peut-être I should just abandon.

Oh my, do get well at a good pace.

Is bluesky too much focused on the USA?

Surprised you didn't seize the moment to get in a bit of coaching. 😀

Refreshing to read the RFA credited with their contributions. Sadly, the recent commerative coin issued for the at sea and on land RN elements, excluded that contribution.

Lá Fhéile Phádraig dona shuit; Joyeuse Saint-Patrick; Happy St Patrick's Day!

Screenshot from Telegraph newspaper describing RFA and RN deployments.

Shoddy reporting from the @telegraph.co.uk. RFA ships do not need the prefix "The". Note no such shoddiness with Dragon.

Checking my pay statement earlier and discovered not entirely unexpected, that my promotion has not filtered through to the pay folk.

Are the crowd not allowed to sing in Aviva?

I promised myself a couple of things if the organisation were desperate and promoted me.

Nope. Sherbert got one too for operational stuff.

Interesting to read the RFA mentioned in the RN honours list. Intrigued though by a Captain Clack from the Royal Auxiliary Fleet.

What most folk fail to realise is that the RFA has done, still does, and will do, more than just support flat tops.

Happy Christmas to all seafarers but especially to those who wear this ensign.

I should have gone there instead of Salamanca!

Do the French ever win?

Yes

Is it possible to get rid of Horses Tail or do you just have to learn live with ut?

And we're down; thank god no-one clapped!

Here we go again for our second attempt to land at CDG avec Air France

Not really, as two of the CSG are in Korea.

Prepping my dinner in the independent république of Liverpool, listened to @johncreedon.bsky.social.
Thank goodness for da internet as can listen no matter where am.

The grey was already scheduled as RFAs are routinely grey.
