It seems the boy was out on the lash with his mates last night, received some very weird & profane WhatsApp messages yesterday at late O’Clock. 😂 #SquaddiesOnTheBeer

Listening to a few Rugby podcasts post the Autumn series. Most pundits bemoaning SA’s dominance of the scrum & the penalties & cards it leads to.

When I played at 2, a beaten pack was just steamrollered into the middle of next week & the game carried on if the dominant pack had the ball.

Before & after, a dingy small loo room & a small bleak shower room transformed into a spacious light bathroom by Steve at Purity Bathrooms a bloody brilliant job!

Not a bad day today here in Sunny Tywyn. View from the house is ok too!

I know it may not be a popular opinion, but I really struggle to see politicians (of any hue) at Remembrance events. To be honest it makes my skin crawl. It shouldn’t be allowed. #remembranceday #RemembranceSunday #poppyday

Stop doomscrolling & remember what Social Media is actually for, Patrick Stewart casually pointing out the Enterprise D flying over his house. #StarTrek

Before & after. A long old slog, but worth it. Just the bathroom to do now!

Just heard Emily Scarratt is hanging up her boots. An absolute GOAT whose presence will no doubt be sorely missed around the England Squad. At her pinnacle, the greatest player of all time in my opinion, a player who made #Rugby look easy. Oh & a bloody nice person as well!

Enjoy your retirement!

There’s a Greyhound in there somewhere, but at least she ain’t on the sofa. #RescueGreyhound #Dogs #Greyhound

During his interrogation by Soviet Forces one of Hitler’s top Officers Field Marshall Von Rundstedt was asked what was the most important Battle that changed the war in his view. He said it was their failure to defeat the RAF in 1940. We know it as the Battle of Britain. #BattleOfBritainDay

Just popped up on my memory thingy.

My Recce Rover, Germany 1992 I think? And me hard at work Radio Relaying in the late 80s. Happy Days! #BritishArmy #RoyalSignals #Ptarmigan
