Brigadier-General of the British Army. Hero, blackguard, lecher and poltroon. And a damn fine ride in the sack. Needless to say, *not official*

The King sends a message...'if Iran and the US are going to blockade that strait, we need to blockade *them*' So here I am, with the full force of the British Navy--three rowing boats and a (unicorn-shaped) pedalo--stopping tankers in the Strait of Hormuz

Here is the wonderfully-named HMS Spanker, which is the sort of vessel that should be making Godspeed to the Eastern Mediterranean. I cannot help feeling some of our ship's names, apart from Dragon, lack aggression.

Oops, sorry. Sitting here in Kuwait, just chatting to a friend when I leant on the anti-aircraft fire button. No harm done I'm sure.

Four years ago I was having some fun in a Kyivan brothel when some Russians brought a new meaning to coitus interruptus. Luckily you can get the same service, from the same girls, in Bayswater and Paddington now, without the risk of interruption.

Of course, Heathcliff was partially based on yours truly. Had a lovely weekend with young Lottie Bronte when her husband was away and caught that Emily trying to peek at us through the (frankly gaping) holes in the door. The facial hair is a bit of a giveaway isn't it?

@DH1PubCrawler Oddly, not what Elspeth suggested on my return from the Donbass. Unless 'why aren't you dead yet?' is a phrase of affection among younger women.

I wish to make absolutely clear that when I emailed Mr Epstein saying 'where are u? I miss you' it was ENTIRELY in the context of attempting to assassinate him for his obvious crimes. Unfortunately my shooting isn't as accurate as it once was. No other interpretation is possible

I'm once again having to make clear that any engravings of me found in the Epstein Files are clearly faked. Forged if you will. I was never *that* close to Mrs Bismarck. Or her daughters. Clearly fantasy to have me in all those different historical locations as well.

Davos. Where some of the highest paid escorts in the world get to entertain leaders of christian and muslim nations. At the public expense. I love the place.

@Joanna__Hardy Classic separation of powers---executive, legislative, judicial and cygnini. As Henry III's law code has it 'if 21 swans are gathered, let them open any closed law court and solve the backlog' (I paraphrase)

There are 21 swans congregating on the edge of the Snaresbrook Crown Court grounds. I think they’re plotting something.

So, my plans for a leisurely New Year in Caracas took a slight downturn. New York is lovely this time of year though, isn't it? Hoping to meet Mrs @NYCMayor though.

Happiest moment of 2025: that night with @GretaThunberg on her yacht in the eastern med, watching fireworks overhead, her eyes rolled back in Flash-induced ecstasy as she shouted 'this is almost as good as destroying capitalism'. Do wish she'd taken that silly scarf off tho.

Remember old Airey Neave saying to me in Colditz, 'time to play the do or die card Flashy...there's not enough chocolate for both of us in this care package' And then the bugger buggered off AND nicked my chocolate. But he won the game.

No, no, not going on the great farming march. Lots of farmers' wives left at home will need some company in rural Leicestershire
