One of my greatest fears is outliving my wife. I think this comes from the first 2mins of the film Up. PINNED Society and public services aren’t kind to lonely old men. And by then my daughters will be busy having adventures of their own.
Took my kids to the families open day at RAF Coningsby today to show them where I used to work and watch the flying. PINNED The weather was overcast but dry and warm. The girls enjoyed watching the flying, charity stalls and fairground and I enjoyed the currywurst. Pity there was no beer tent. Apologies for the quality of the photos.

I’d never encountered MSN news before as I’ve never had a need for it, but I understand peoples problems with it.You might have heard that from someone who is a conservative, I’ve seen it before here. By US standards I’m a centrist or moderate, and since the pandemic I’m very choosy about where I get my news from and like to corroborate it with sources that...See More »

It’s curious to think that about forty years from now, people will be nostalgic about the way things are today and how we live.Every generation does it.
The only advice I'll ever give to young lads is to learn to dance.You can have a face like a welder's bench but if you can dance well, 90% of the women on or around that dance floor are going to want to shag you.

Ferrari are continually making life hard for themselves. Not only did they back the wrong horse and not extend Sainz’s contract - the only guy to win for them last season. The 7 time world champion they signed for next year just got out performed by a guy who’s only been a formula 1 driver for two days…...See More »
