Able Seaman Simon, for distinguished and meritorious service on HMS Amethyst, you are hereby awarded the Distinguished Amethyst Campaign Ribbon. Be it known that on April 26, 1949, though recovering from wounds, when HMS Amethyst was standing by off Rose Bay you did single-handedly and unarmed stalk down and destroy "Mao Tse Tung", a rat guilty of raiding food supplies which were critically short. Be it further known that from April 22 to August 4 you did rid HMS Amethyst of pestilence and vermin, with unrelenting faithfulness.

On the night of 30th July 1949, Amethyst successfully made a break for the sea.

In the aftermath, the crew insisted Simon deserved an Amethyst Campaign ribbon as much as the crew. Keran agreed and sanctioned it.

As a result, one was unofficially issued to Able Seacat Simon. The citation: 19/25

All 4 had to be hooked too, didn't they. I fear Smyth will be feeding of those two incredible games for the next few seasons... Really don't see it with him!

Lovely to see Madsen back, what man he is! Missed him, haven't we.

Think Vale was really poor, he knew it with his reaction too. Two yards infront of his man and ends up two yards behind him having not moved an inch.

Very slow start though, isn't it.

I Played 'The Boys Are Back in Town' on a Bar Jukebox Until I Got Kicked Out The boys were back in town, but I was out of the bar, because they asked me to leave.

on the 50th anniversary of the release of The Boys Are Back in Town I'm morally obligated to share my favorite story of all time

ChatGPT! It has its frothing haters...

Unemployed Artist: My career and entire industry's been destroyed, to save CEOs a tiny percent of money they don't need

...But it also has its innovative enthusiasts!

Some guy, grinning at us, covered in blood: THE GOD INSIDE MY PHONE SAYS I'M THE CHOSEN ONE

This is Missy. She escaped from her backyard and ran straight to daycare, where she had a spa day and got to play with her boyfriend. Lessons were learned, but not the ones her parents probably hoped. 13/10 (TT: spotsplaceyqr)

This laugh is going to live with me.

I would rather have a group of youths racing through the train station and not paying than a group of people who can't get their ticket ready BEFORE THEY GET TO THE BARRIER LIKE IT'S THEIR FIRST DAY ON PLANET EARTH x

#QPRPOR 6-1

In this week's episode of QPR's Weird Weekends, is there such a thing as a narrow 6-1 victory?

Eni Aluko wins Joey Barton libel case over posts on X Barton is told to pay the former England footballer more than £300k over two posts he made in 2024.

Imagine being the custody officer getting the pleasure of telling him this while he's sat there on his thin mattress in his grey tracksuit today. I'm jealous.

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

Madsen is special, I truly cannot believe what I'm seeing from him most games now. His range of passing is nuts. Players player, him. Must be a joy to be on his side.
