Dinosaur.

Definitely dodged a bullet there.

Ex-Forces, innit. Sick, sardonic & twisted sense of humour is fitted as-standard.

Unbelievable behaviour from him though! Probably tries it on with every woman he meets.

You obviously made a good impression.

Silly sausage!

That's what I don't understand. Mandelson was soiled goods during the Blair premiership. Yet Brown appointed him First Minister of State. Now Starmer has shit on his own doorstep by appointing him as Ambo to USA.

What does Mandy have on these people?

And that when the group handed over the SDR to Govt the Treasury were horrified at the cost. Robertson & Co told to go away and water it down to save £££.

I'd like to see the first iteration.

Byron is wise.

He ought to check the pump price for motor fuel across Europe.

Was sat in a boozer with college mates. End of term. Friday morning. All of us fucking outraged with the Argies.

Thank you for answering my Q.

Who is intending to restrict the current right to termination?

Serious Q.

Whisky Uniform would signal 'I wish you a pleasant voyage'.

They were doing their thing before 1st Scarpe. Working out the route from the Tank park South of Arras Citadel up to the jumping off point. Got a map or two of the routes they took somewhere...

For which purpose the Tank Reconnaissance Officers came into being, under Hotblack.

Equipped with an ash plant to determine the firmness of the ground and suitability for tanks.

What even IS the 'working class' now anyway?

With those things largely gone now how is class defined in 2026?

We get all our post on one (random) day per-week. Been that way for many months now.

What was it like for a regiment on the 'deadliest day' in French military history?

Not Verdun.
Not 22nd August 14.

But 25th September 1915, where over 21,000+ French died in a few hours.

One regiment — the 315e RI — suffered the 4th highest losses.

This is their story 🧵 ↓

Pays for all local services. Levied and set by local authorities. Scales up in bands according to presumed-value of the property. One snag is that value was last assessed accurately well over 30 years ago. Our house is in Band D, the middle one.

Yup

Let it be Tice. Or Tate. Please.

During the Corbyn period they told every member/supporter/voters who disagreed with them to 'fuck off and join the Tories'

That hubris met its nemesis in Dec 2019.

Don't forget that the first two parts of my article about three brothers who survived Auschwitz have now been posted!

Julian Clary? Is he still alive?

Ended his own career by commenting that Tony Blair was 'in need of a good fisting'.
