Ha.

I love to see it, not least because this will definitely piss off Anger Yam.

I plan to listen later today... sadly the performance on the field was a let down - but opening day is always fun

Beautiful but cold this morning at Landgoed Bergvliet. Winter greens, but a good, fun round. Then 7-0 for my team - what a great start to the weekend!

Can you help? On Tuesday 14th Jan, my sister (Clare) collapsed outside @AnvilArts Basingstoke at around 1430. We are trying to find the lovely person (Beth?) who helped her - and called the emergency services - can you help? #findbeth

Stayed up a bit late last night watching Blitz on Apple+... very good film, well made and a great insight. Definitely recommend if you have an interest in the subject matter.

A very enjoyable 1st trip for me to #RAFHendon today with an old university friend. Good war waffle and catch up and some fantastic flying machines... and there was hardly anyone else there!

1st time playing the Senior Club Champs at Landgoed Bergvliet over the weekend. Finished a disappointing 4th, but had 2 very sociable rounds and the course was playing brilliantly for this time of year.

#OTD in 1944, Breda was liberated by Polish 1 Armoured Division, led by StanisΕ‚aw Maczek. (Maczek was after the war stripped of Polish citizenship by the communists; he's buried in Breda.) #WW2 #HISTORY

A Bridge Too Far is a Hollywood view of Market Garden. My two books are based on facts, primary sources. Why and where did Market Garden fail? Purchase Lost at Nijmegen. All Market Garden facts from primary sources? Purchase Little Sense of Urgency

Ahead is 80 year commemoration of Market Garden. A LOT OF OLD HISTORY on TV, news papers and magazines. Pretty frustrating. If you wan't a modern assessment, buy/read my two books. Would be a smart move. πŸ˜‰ pre-jump.nl (A repost is very much appreciated!)

Agree with all the above... sadly the lack of hitting started last season for much of the team. It is a shame that we have had some of the best starting pitching over the last year+ and have not been able to capitalise. I do wonder how close they are coming to a complete tear down of the team..
