I'm now reminiscing - geography lessons with David were very similar to this. Did he practice on the footballers for his teaching, or on us for the football?
In 1989, referee David Ellery was mic’d up for Millwall vs Arsenal. Best part? Tony Adams losing his shit.

@James_WE_Smith As someone whose grandfather served in the Royal Navy during the war I agree with you 100%. I donated money to a fundraiser for a Battle of the Atlantic memorial and was shocked to see how few donations there were.
Very exciting - work has begun on the construction of mountain bike trails through the grounds @GlenalmondColl. Another big step in the outdoor programme here @GlenalmondOL #biking #adventure #mountainbiking #cycling
I always look forward to the Salvage Team’s meetings at the Tower of London. We get to explore spaces off the tourist route. This time it was the upper floors of the Salt Tower. I would very happily live in this room.
I do admire the robustness of the French police.
BREAKING: French police drag students out from Sorbonne University. The French students were trying to set up tents and create a “Liberated Zone” in the same fashion as students in the U.S. It didn’t work in France
@Edeaulx I remember meeting my first BSM in Germany in 85. He gave me my welcome to the bty and finished off with "under no circumstances screw around with the German Civil Police". Saw many a soldier make that mistake. Like the French they had a more robust attitude than that back home.

@PhoneyMajor @71Tonka Fantastic! I may use this on my headstone 🪦👌
@PhoneyMajor @ChrisW_73 A short story. I know a guy who went for selection. Very serious, very studios, a great soldier but not much in the way of humour. Completed the course but did not pass- his lack of humour was the deciding factor. They admitted he was good and suggested he go for Pathfinders...
@ChrisW_73 @PhoneyMajor Arguably the most important. Helps you put up with the unnaceptable.
@PhoneyMajor My grandfather was one of the Chindits who helped train them - he’d had a mule Bertha on Op Longcloth …. Not sure if the training included mules ! He said that were good lads but had loads more kit than the Brits did !
@marcogiann Utter non-story. The Reserve units of the UKSF have always been open to civilians... Remember, Google is your friend!
Brilliant!

Almost like we planned it…. A glorious spring morning for Open Day @GlenalmondColl. Very much looking forward to welcoming visitors later, and then the first cricket matches of the term this afternoon.
@PhoneyMajor We forget how young those lads were,incredible courage too! 😲
@PhoneyMajor Gavin, thank you for caring for his grave, and thank you for reminding us all what moral courage is.
