Neither reasonable people. Was the Luftgau subordinate to the Wehrkreis or parallel? I wonder because many of the units the British faced were parachute troops and quite effective to the end, I believe.

It was a real eye-opener on the importance of the Wehrkreis. I wonder if they were all as effective?

Hurrah! Eurotrash is back!

I went on this boat while she was being fitted out at Barrow before handover. Had a nice tour with an ex RN dusty. Now feeling very old...

Yes! My colleague is from lower Silesia, and I have to show her your posts... (and I enjoy them very much).

We've had a very nice young lady join us at work. Her name is Eloise, and now each time she comes over to chat, this is going round in my head...

😳 have fun!

Has to be done 👍🏻

Just home from the gym. Late night/long day, I guess, but if it wasn't for that place I'd be climbing the bloody walls.

Space and time to decompress as well as essential for fitness at my age.

Please repost if you agree that British TV News is betraying our democracy by giving Farage what looks like more coverage than all the other opposition parties combined.

Yesterday's happy charity shop find was this lovely boxset of James Herbert novels. His books always gave me a scare! I read The Spear and The Fog in my teens but not the others...

I've a Pro-ject cleaner that's as big, heavy, and noisy as a vacuum cleaner, so it'll be interesting to see how you get on.

A late good morning! #NowPlaying Amorphis - Silent Waters. Finnish progressive metal, their 8th studio album released in 2007. Another record not played in too long a time, i need more of this.

My son has been home for just over a week. Today he goes back to Cardiff and I am very sad.

Congratulations! Best wishes to you all

Have a cup of tea

Easily misplaced

Just read a post on a local FB group complaining, rightly so, about building on green belt. It managed to go from blaming the Labour Party (rightly) to the Green's being in the pockets of the Islamo-communists who are supporting the corporate oligarchy. It had the most likes. We are fucking doomed.

Had plans not to drink tonight.

Stupid idea.

Today's #charity shop #sci-fi #book find has this great cover by Chris Foss. Arrow, 1979.

Why are the #right always #wrong?

Great 😃 you're welcome!

A record playing on a turntable. Behind it sits the cover, a red sumo-type body with the head of seal, carrying an axe and standing on a carpet of skulls. Behind are an aircraft and a burning airport control tower.

Next up - a record with possibly the oddest* cover that I own... Riot's Narita. No idea on the inspiration other than Narita airport in Japan obviously. Original 1979 release on Capitol, it's great American rock.

Well worth it

Photo of a record playing on a turntable sat on a wooden cabinet. The album cover sits in front.

So the #turntable is on 😃 today it's Shinedown - Amaryllis, I think my favourite of their albums. From the soaring title track, the angry Bully and the heartwarming I'll Follow You (❤️) it's great stuff! Released in 2012 on Atlantic.

Enjoying reading #VinylSky posts tonight. I'm finally alone, but it's too late for me to put the #turntable on. Tomorrow is another day...

Spent half an hour being pummelled, cut-throat razored, suffocated by steam, and flamed.

Love a visit to the Turkish barbers.
