Anybody identify this (duck?) for me? It was diving for food for long periods, in a large lake in Gloucestershire. It wasn’t very large (about moorhen sized). Apologies for photo - it was a long way away! 🤣

Vance claims he wasn't referring to the UK & France.

So which country was he referring to?

Germany, Italy, Poland, Denmark, Spain, Romania, Netherlands, Czechia, Norway, Estonia, Sweden, Latvia, Finland, Portugal, Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovakia, Lithuania all fought in Afghanistan.

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them.

Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

Just stumbled across this podcast, which has a bit on #GMT Fields of Fire.

They discuss the game between 01:44:30 and 02:00:00 in the 2024-07-13 episode, and I think there's one from 2021 too, by the look of it, but I've not listened to that one yet.

Part two of the Fields of Fire Teach and Play stream - Thursday 2nd evening/Friday 3rd morning, depending where you are.

2330 GMT this time, so not so good for Europe, but better for US and elsewhere. Join us and ask questions!

Video will be available afterwards.

Tune in for a teach and play of Fields of Fire Deluxe on 30 Dec!Link below. It is at 1200 GMT (no pun intended), so it’s early o’clock if you’re in the US, and middle of the day-ish for Europe.

Well, that’s it - deactivated my Twitter/X account and deleted the app ☺️

Well, I got my developer copy of Fields of Fire Deluxe today!

These are early copies for us to check print quality etc - it looks great! Very strange to hold a hard copy rather than look at it on screen!

This is another step closer to getting it to everybody; I can’t wait!
