Alan Curragh

@rentaquill Thank you! We’re staying that way later in the year so will certainly visit

@AlanCurragh St.Hilaire, Languedoc.

Bit cloistered out but dang, those Cathars, eh? Plus, got to love an Abbott’s sense of mischief for the ceiling paintings in his **checks notes** ‘private rooms’.

@PaulBlight6 Il disent tousses faut

@HI_Voices @unsereOEBB The strike in German rail from today until Tuesday has been cancelled - so you might be OK?

Things were going well til 2 minutes ago. We've had a holiday booked for months; Newcastle-Amsterdam (⛴️) - Italy (🚅🛌) to see the Boss live in Rome. @unsereOEBB have only just told us that due to strikes, the 🚅 is now cancelled. Now to find a way from 🇳🇱-🇮🇹 not by train.

@holland_tom Yes, that’s it

“He noticed for the first time some small figures in blue, that the sand was pink, and, finally, the precious substance of the tiny patch of yellow wall…” Proust’s description of the death of Bergotte. But which is the “petit pan de mur jaune"? This?

To @rijksmuseum, there to see the exhibition on Vermeer

@mikejpoole @gdc1975 Don’t hide your light under a bushel, Mike. We know you’re talking about yourself here….

@gdc1975 “Grant was front and centre when we wanted a synergised delivery model reboot to implement agile ROI KPIs across the entire vertical portfolio of our company’s sector”

Caught up on LinkedIn and realise that there's never any challenge to some people's claims/self-promoting. Often no evidence, yet numerous supportive comments/applause from people who only see that part of the individual they want to reveal. Wonder if meeting would change that?

@HMRCcustomers Thanks - it is an income tax query and I did get through after waiting for 30 minutes. It is just annoying that I can't be told where I am in the queue

@AlanCurragh @AlanCurragh Hi Alan, which department are you trying to contact? Is there anything in general I can help you with? Amandine

Good morning, @HMRCcustomers are here until 8pm to answer your general queries on Twitter. Please don't post any personal details.

@SteveJChambers @GreatWarForum @Taff_Gillingham @richardvanemden @PeterHart1915 @SteveMarsdin Thanks Steve - and thanks to you for your talk.

@AlanCurragh @GreatWarForum @Taff_Gillingham @richardvanemden @PeterHart1915 @SteveMarsdin Thank you @AlanCurragh. It was a well organised, well attended and hugely enjoyable event. A nice start to the weekend 👍

The wonderful speakers at the 11th @GreatWarForum Conference in Birmingham today (and a couple of hangers-on) - @Taff_Gillingham , @SteveJChambers , @richardvanemden , John Bourne and @PeterHart1915 . Thanks to @SteveMarsdin for the pic.

@richardvanemden @PeterHart1915 @SteveJChambers @Taff_Gillingham Thanks to you Richard - glad you had a good day

@AlanCurragh many thanks for such a perfectly organised day. A great occasion to see everyone again and hear some superb talks by @PeterHart1915 @SteveJChambers @Taff_Gillingham and John Bourne.

@Taff_Gillingham @GreatWarForum @SteveJChambers @richardvanemden @PeterHart1915 @SteveMarsdin A pleasure, Taff - thanks to you too

@AlanCurragh @GreatWarForum @SteveJChambers @richardvanemden @PeterHart1915 @SteveMarsdin Thank you very much indeed, Alan. You and Sue put on a wonderful event, as always! Thank you for the invitation to speak. 😁👍🏻

@GreatWarForum @Taff_Gillingham @SteveJChambers @richardvanemden @PeterHart1915 @SteveMarsdin Sorry you couldn't be there, @GaryBain1280

@GaryBain1280 @Trenchman1418 @HartMilitary That's a shame Rob - take care of yourself and see you next year

@Trenchman1418 @AlanCurragh @HartMilitary Get better soon mate

The 11th Great War Forum Conference will be held at the Tally Ho in Birmingham again, on 2nd April, with five speakers, starting at 10.00, finishing at 5.00 If you haven't booked yet then get your finger out! About 90-tickets sold but still room for more. Make one of them you!

@Trenchman1418 @HartMilitary Rob - I’ll reserve you a space - hope you’re able to come along

@HartMilitary I'd like to go but it depends what condition my immune system is in and whether The Christie team say "Yay" or "nay". I'll know on Tuesday. Fingers crossed...

@WW2TV Chris Pugsley maybe? Mainly WW1 I believe but might be able to help. I can contact him if you can't find contact details

If anyone has any leads for WW2 historians in New Zealand I would be grateful please. I've tried messaging The New Zealand Military Historical Society a couple of times but received no reply

@ProfTonyPollard I’ve often wondered what your opinion is - it must be difficult to stay quiet

FFS. Biting my tongue is difficult after that one.

@JonathanFoyle The top part of the spire of St Thomas Church in Wells has come down - thankfully nobody hurt

@fergieweather @BBCBristol @curragh

#STORMEUNICE It's a miracle that this sizeable & very heavy spire tip, with windvane & lightning conductor, didn't hit anyone as it came crashing-down at St Thomas Church in #Wells, #Somerset around noon. Video captured by Matthew Hodson (many thanks for sending to @BBCBristol)
