Our 2025 version of "Carol of the Bells" - originally a Ukrainian New Year celebration song "Shchedryk" - music first written by Mykola Leontovych in Pokrovsk (now under Russian occupation). The composer would be murdered by a Soviet agent in 1921. #SlavaUkraïni #dontabandonthem

A temporary return to share the genius of Tom Lehrer who left us today. Please zoom in on the titles of these wonderful songs and then head off to YouTube to find them. You won't regret it. I'm off to Poison Pigeons in the Park in his honour. #tomlehrer youtu.be/yhuMLpdnOjY?si…

@LydiaJane13 Maybe it's been asked to be a bridesmaid?

What in the name of God is this ?

@LydiaJane13 It must be worth getting for your content, Jane, but that fabulous picture of the Halifax on the cover is the best icing your cake could have

Just taken delivery of another batch of The Invisible Campaign: Bomber Command Gardening Operations 1940-1945. Most are already spoken for - I have only about 4 left if you're after a signed copy. Currently sold out on Amazon/Waterstones. Just DM me or reply to this post. Thanks!

@ClearedAsFiled @MikeBerridge @railwaychaplain @RAF_Luton Well, I for one appreciate the effort @RAF_Luton puts into ensuring that none of their statements contain facts that contravene the Official Secrets Act

@MikeBerridge @railwaychaplain @RAF_Luton I knew it was BS when the OP didn’t do enough research to ID the right plane . It was too obvious.

Fact of the Day: The A380 can drop 800.85 tons of Ionised Droplets Improvement Of Thoughts gas (aka #ChemTrails) in just over 71.75 seconds Here the A380 is dropping coloured Ionised Droplets Improvement Of Thoughts gas in support of #PRIDE2025 Month 📸 from a Canberra

RT @fakehistoryhunt: I know everyone on the internet has already made this joke but I just have to. "WHAT DID YOU EAT? SPIT IT OUT!" Extra…

To brighten up budget day, I am giving a set of these Fabulous Mr Benn badges away. To be in the bowler hat, all you have to do is retweet this tweet. I'll choose a winner this time next week. Good Luck!!

Aargh - call dropped at 3hrs exactly, so still no progress

How does anyone get any support from @pandocruises customer services? I am now on a record 2hrs and 25mins in the queue, and they close in 45 minutes time. It's something their systems require me to speak to them 😞

The only way to put away tupperware

Imagine telling this story without proof: “I didn't go to work because a cat fell on my head and then a dog with shoes tried to do me justice.”

@jamesjhistory Well, given that my Dad volunteered for Bomber Command, and joined the police post-war, it would be a betrayal of his service if I didn't take an anti-fascist stance myself.

Context is everything, which is why short clips and soundbites are dangerous...

@AdamWatkinson1 Great uncle, from desert war pre Alamein, still had copies of the news sheets circulated out there, "Two Types" cartoons, and a few photos... My Dad, ex RAF Bomber Command, had a different selection, including some escape kit, and a bullet reassembled from spent parts

@jamesjhistory just to flag this - as well as these art prints, Lisa is selling some of her collection of books, so a range of early war Bomber Command stuff included

@jamesjhistory Fab - in a non-Halifaxey sort of way, eh, @LydiaJane13

The new Shrek looks a bit crap

You know those times when someone you thought was good makes you step back and re-evaluate... Not so much "good" as "Bloody Marvellous"!
