The BBC lead their 1pm news with football. Really?

If it is giving you so much anguish I think you know the answer - jack it in.

"What ifs" are not good for ones health. Just think of the good times

But in local elections I tend to look at the history of any serving candidate rather than the party - with exceptions of course!

I'm not sure to be honest - he may have learnt when he was in the Territorial Royal Field Artillery before the war. This is him in camp at Doncaster in 1914, I think just before war broke out.

A lesson for us all - to write stuff down. I understand the Dambusters reference...

@lmbd1418.bsky.social My Grandfather somewhere in France or Belgium. Unfortunately I do not know the name of his horse - my mother did tell me but unfortunately I have forgotten.

Today I am particularly thinking of two great uncles who fell in the Great War. Private Richard Hildreth, 23rd Middlesex Regiment and Serjeant James Vokes, 5th Yorkshire Regiment. And of course all others who served.

The TV press: "Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew". Yes, we know what he was previously called, stop treating us like bloody idiots...

Yes, it's rarely a good look - not a proper debating chamber.
