Pretty sad to see people playing up to the stereotype ‘lefty’ persona by mocking the murder of a British politician. Personally, regardless of my own opinion of her beliefs, I regard the brutal murder of an old woman to be serious, especially if politically motivated. But I’m an adult.
If you’ve had the joys of PAM 21 and JSP 403 then this is fascinating. Essentially our ACMT that I took part in was dumbed down and still people failed. youtu.be/DBCO50E0Efs?...

And such a rich pool of talent in Westminster, with a new PM I’m convinced we will get a leader who understands the importance of defence and the very real probability of war with Russia. I also fully endorse this opening the vodka at 0800 hrs, and getting on it early doors.

Starting to busy up in the playground again. Three Texaco stations in GOO, three tankers over Saudi heading East (reliefs for three on station?) plus one up Israel and one Jordan. Not “oh fuck” territory yet but the rhetoric coming out from the fat old nonces mouth doesn’t inspire confidence.
So help me out:- Let’s say the SOH opens in three days. SPR are down across the board with the US in particular emptying quickly. A VLCC needs weeks to embark product, get to her destination and unload. Competition for product is going to be huge /1

Good news today of all days with news of events in the ME, is with two US contestants fighting it out in the cage? An American finally gets to win a battle. 😉
Finally. Bit dubious about the timing for a PM seen as weak on defence though.
JJ@jaynegallaghe20.bsky.social · 2mo agoI do the hard work review so you don’t have to! Now this Welsh distillery is pretty under the radar. They had a bit of a rocky start although I really rated the entry level dram. According to the website this Madeira cask bottling is non-chill filtered and natural colour /1

I wonder what the depth is where that Apache put down. Great effort on the SAR op but… Why did the IRGC considered the juice worth the squeeze IE retaliation?

Gurkha Cellar Reserve 15. Always a firm favourite. Wrapper is Brazilian Arapiraca Maduro. The binder is Dominican Republic and filler 15-Year Aged Dominican Republic. Advertised as Double Robusto but I always find these pretty gentle tbf. Original notes on opening the anCnoc last year /1
I missed the no doubt erudite, emotional and profoundly respectful statement by the US President on the anniversary of D-Day when 6603 US servicemen died. So I thought I’d mention William Robert Burns, ships company the USS Glennon /1
Well, we knew Hegseth was going to be incredibly embarrassing, boorish, oafish, lacking any manners and unable to understand the gravitas and deep historical meaning of the event. And he didn’t disappoint. He needs putting on his ass the prick.

12th May 1982. HMS Glasgow is struck by a bomb from an A4 Skyhawk. Audio of attack that gives you a feel for how such an engagement sounds, with 20mm Oerlikon and four five gun firing, and the subsequent damage control pipes you’d hear. youtu.be/O6zohkGwQg8?si…

Living at a time when the President of the US takes the opportunity to explain to me there is ‘see’, and ‘sea’, wouldn’t have been on my bingo card even after doing a kilo of smack.

You know, months ago? I thought I was seeing a repeat of history. Bring the judiciary to heel. The press to heel. Law enforcement to heel. Create an armed force utterly loyal to you. Bring higher command in the military to heel. Open the toy cupboard to the military. Ring any bells of someone?
