The saddest post I have ever had to write, but on Monday I lost my wonderful wife Miranda to cancer. I’ve been too upset to post and the kids are devastated naturally. I’m thankful for all the kind words of support from my friends in property and my #rugbyfamily

@BlickyIan Find memories of my Air Experience flights and first aerobatics.

My good friend Ben Griffiths has produced a unique book to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the chipmunk - he's a top chap and great ambassador for the DH marvel - he owns and flies one more details soon !

Pride comes before a fall. In a recent survey of over 2,000 people; @Zoopla found that 44% of UK homes listed in the past three years failed to sell. Unsurprisingly, this was predominantly due to over zealous pricing. This ended up costing sellers more and increasing their odds of not selling than if they'd priced correctly at the start. The market has had a strained few years, buyers are wary, tired and overly cautious. Interest rates remain high but the willingness to move remains, even if in some cases they’ve had to shelve their plans temporarily till things improve. Properties will sell if priced right but first “portal” impressions count. They leave a trail of information that you can’t rewrite. Sellers will save themselves a lot of time and money if they accept reality and not a 2022 comp.

Had the Bluebird Project been running Monday's event we'd have been tried, tested, rehearsed. Launched 1st thing in perfect conditions & this is what you'd have seen.

Yesterday I posted about the Temu Range Rover, and a lot of you replied about issues you’ve been having with Jaecoo too. So I took the liberty of reading the warranty document of Britain’s best selling car, as I'd heard they had a 7 year warranty. Prudent, since we will be covering them one day, well that day is sooner than I thought! Whilst they do advertise a 7 year 100,000 mile warranty and some parts are covered under this, many parts are only warranted for 3 years or just 40,000 miles! These include: • A/C Compressor. • Alternator. • Ball Joint(s). • Brake Caliper. • Catalytic Converter. • Dashboard Upholstery and Trims (wear & tear). • Infotainment Unit. • Exhaust System. • Fuel Injector(s). • Fuel Pump. • Oil Pump. • Seat Upholstery (wear & tear). • Shock Absorber(s). • Starter Motor. • Steering Wheel Upholstery (wear & tear). • Timing Belt. • Track Rod End. • Water Pump. • Wheel Bearing. • Window Regulator. Worse still, the remote control key is only covered for 1 year or 20,000 miles, and if you are using the car as an Uber, Taxi, Courier or Driving School the main warranty limits are reduced further. It's been a long time since i've seen any manufacturer offer warranty cover only for the first 40,000 miles, in fact I can't remember any. I know these cars are cheap, but perhaps that is for a reason...?

But this is what Starmer wants us to get closer to.

UK Armed Forces Personnel have conducted a Parachute Operation to deliver critical medical support to Tristan da Cunha - Britains most remote inhabited island overseas territory. Paratroopers and military clinicians from @16AirAssltBCT, jumped from an A400 aircraft during the Op.

Last posting today from the Shuttleworth Air Show. I hope you like Spitfires (with a random Texan in the background) #MikesAircraftVideos

Good morning. Something you won’t see very often. A Bristol Fighter engine start using a Hucks Starter Truck at Shuttleworth. Bonus Harvard about to take off in the background #MikesAircraftVideos

What is so chilling nowadays is not simply the resurgence of antisemitism itself but watching people who once proclaimed the loudest commitment to tolerance and human rights now unable (or unwilling) to recognise the same poison within their own ranks dailymail.com/debate/article…

🚨 When you need to get the world's most remote inhabited island fast British Army medics & pathfinders jumped into Tristan da Cunha last night with emergency medical supplies to treat a suspected case of Hantavirus

@moving_charlie Clueless.

It’s like he’s saying “I don’t understand basic economics or markets and I expect landlords to provide homes at a loss” Unbelievable.

@EndWokeness Clueless.

Meet the new deputy mayor of Hackney UK. He wants to ban landlords earning profit.

#OnThisDay 1941 a boarding party under SLt David Balme from HMS BULLDOG captured a secret Enigma machine from U-110 after depth charging her to the surface. This discovery was one of the greatest ever intelligence coups and undoubtedly saved thousands if not millions of lives.

@DanHolden85 Congratulations Dan and very well deserved. Almost as impressive as your step count in the last few weeks!

#MertonElections2026 are over and results declared. I'm pleased to say that I have been re-elected for #Hillside ward for my 4th term in office. Much tighter margin and the ward remains split with the lib dems. Thank you to all the voters of Hillside. democracy.merton.gov.uk/mgElectionArea…

This beautiful remastered footage was captured by an off duty policeman on 8th May 1945 after Churchill officially declared Victory in Europe. Flags are strung between terraces during the street celebrations in Gateshead. 🇬🇧 #VEDay

@debbiejaneyoung @JaneFranklin99 Thank you.

@JaneFranklin99 @EdwardFoley He must be good at what he does. Well done to him

Many congratulations to my brother Edward who has been re-elected as Independent Councillor for Merton Park Ward in London. (He's on the right). @EdwardFoley 👏🏻

Lest We Forget🇬🇧: Nearly 46 years ago to the day, we remember and pay tribute to the heroic efforts of the British Special Air Service (SAS) and their successful execution of "Operation Nimrod". When Great Britain had leadership with BALLS, ironically HER name was Margaret Thatcher. On the 30th of April 1980 until May the 5th 6 Iranian Islamic terrorists demanded the release of prisoners in Khuzestan and their own safe passage out of the United Kingdom. The British government quickly decided that safe passage would not be granted and a siege ensued. The operation brought the SAS to the public eye for the first time and bolstered the reputation of Margaret Thatcher's government. The raid lasted seventeen minutes and involved 30 to 35 soldiers. The Islamic terrorists killed one hostage and seriously wounded two others during the raid while the SAS killed all but one of the terrorists. The 17 rescued hostages and the remaining terrorist, who was still concealed amongst them, were taken into the embassy's back garden and restrained on the ground while they were identified. Five of the six Islamic terrorists were blown away by the members of the SAS.

@JaneFranklin99 Thank you! X

@London_W4 I hope they left your stern gland alone mate!

I’ve just come to bed and as I lie here in my boat on the canal, there’s a beautiful silence, but then there’s a tapping to my side and slightly down. I listen, then look out of my bedroom window to see three ducks nibbling my bottom. You don’t get that living in a house.

Vile young women cheering an activist who fractured the spine of a woman police officer.
