Looking forward to giving my talk tonight at .@OMRS17995839 London Branch, on the remarkable, & almost unknown, brave stand of 43 men of the Gold Coast (now Ghana) Constabulary, at Dawkita in 1897, against 7,000 of Samory Toure’s slave soldiers: ‘The West African Rorke’s Drift’.

I really do love the cafe culture that’s breathed fresh life into parts of my home city. Yesterday, we had the most amazing brunch at .@waylandsyard. If you’re in #Worcester, and your tummy is rumbling, give it a go. You really won’t be disappointed.

Somewhat of a dilemma.. Have been alerted to these four bundles of fun. It’s time to get my thinking cap on. #jackrussellterrier

I came across an interesting pre WW2 India general service medal yesterday whilst cataloguing a number of damaged medals. A, planchet, (or disc) only, to an airman commemorated on the Singapore Memorial. A few years ago, it could have so easily ended up in the melting pot.

Ramadan Mubarak to all of my Muslim friends.

This platform has become a haven for pessimists. If not reading that ‘the end of the world is nigh’, there’s always a video recently posted with a view to deliberately wind people up - Trying to stick to posts about the lighter side of life is becoming increasingly difficult.

Having just seen Steve Bray’s disgusting post, my only thought is that it serves as a clear example of how some people, will never really understand the horror of the Holocaust, nor accept the sensitivities around the communities affected by it. We await another false apology.

On #MothersDay here’s my favourite photo of my Mum, who passed, far too young, some 36 years ago. Happy memories X

I’ve been saying for a while that I think there’s every chance that this year’s Rugby World Cup will be won by a northern hemisphere team; either France or Ireland. After today’s performance, I’m even more convinced.

All this furore over #MOTD won’t affect me - I gave up watching it ages ago due to the frequent disappointment & agony it was causing me, when watching #WestHam lose every week.

The magnificent #Topol has left us, for a better place. May his memory be a blessing.

A very happy #Purim to my Jewish friends. Good Yontiv… And plenty of Hamantaschen!

Just when I’m having proper #JackRussell withdrawal symptoms, this photo pops up on my timeline!

That Matt Hancock gave a journalist unfettered access to his entire WhatsApp message history, says far more about his lack of judgment, than anything that he may, or may not have done, as a minister during the pandemic.

‘Puff the magic dragon’ on .@BBCRadio2. There’s no better way to start the day. Pass the Kleenex, lovely childhood memories.

Why is so very little being said and done about the attacks on #Somaliland? As if we haven’t got enough problems in the world already. We should be encouraging stability in the Horn of Africa, not ignoring this escalation in violence. The international community must act fast.

Home from a night in London with my wife. Spent today showing her some of the tourist spots that, Londoners like me, often take for granted. Including the magnificent, but not so well known .@CWGC Tower Hill Memorial. A magnificent tribute to those lost in our Merchant Navy.
