Ming the Merciless Fella

Thirty years ago today I married the love of my life. I remain profoundly grateful to her for every one of those 30 years.

A Spitfire flying over the house, couldn’t get my phone out in time to get decent footage, but you’ll recognise that Merlin engine sound anywhere!

Ok @Comrade1skander you claim that the @DefenceU daily numbers for russian casualties are wildly over-exaggerated, is that correct?

Ayden is so painfully stupid, he doesn’t understand the word “casualties” means both dead & injured. The BBC/Mediazona report covers KIA only.

Writing for @nypost, @ChakhoyanAndrew calls Russia out for what it is. Well worth a read.

Oh no! Who would have thunk it?

51 years ago #OTD #Turkey invaded #Cyprus. Below is the original telex my wife’s grandparents sent to try & get my wife & her sister to safety. They came out on an RAF Hercules from Akrotiri. We can only hope that #Ukraine will not be divided in the same way over 50 years later.

Over in England for few days, enjoying the sunrise & looking forward to co-host on @Volya4UA with @OckersM in a bit.

Back in England for a bit, I’m looking through my late dad’s stuff, & I find this. Can any Latvian #Fellas tell me what it’s about?

Only in England: when the tennis & cricket clash.

The sun goes down on the marina.

Boat p0rn. Looking at the boats parked next to me here in the marina, sail or power?
