1. So during my time I have managed maintenance packages on RN warships, trials packages, done deployments and arranged my Department, WE, to be ready to go at short notice on Ops. So in no particular order, why deployment preps take a while.

I'm seriously starting to question the credibility of the FIFA Peace Prize.

BZ @HMS_Richmond Due home in Devonport tomorrow after spending 265 days away from base port this year, steaming c40,000nm and visiting 16 ports in 12 countries #CSG25

👀 Watch our approach into the beautiful island of Crete. With a bonus view of our favourite T45 and fellow CSG escort ship @HMSDauntless #CSG25 @COMUKCSG @HMNBDevonport

@TheonlyBird It’s completely baffling and soul destroying at the same time.

52% of the children in the UK aren't doing enough physical activity and the Gov's solution is to turn Joe Wicks into a cartoon character and make them watchin him on a TV or iPad....? I despair. Ban 'No Ball Games' signs Pass Play Sufficiency legislation gov.uk/government/new…

Every single time

@TheonlyBird Remember you saying in the spring you wanted to achieve this! Nice work pal

I don't really do New Year resolutions but I did say I wanted to reach 1000 Elo in chess this year and here we are. Took a casual 1,567 games...

@TheonlyBird It’s such an epic achievement

What an achievement, and a full 99 seconds to spare!

@SpidersMercedes @HenleyTrains @TrackrTrain Such a huge fan

@HenleyTrains Looks like there is still disruption according to @TrackrTrain @ 14:20

Due to the emergency services dealing with an incident between London Paddington and Reading the line is blocked. Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled or delayed by up to 90 minutes. Disruption is expected until 11:45 08/02.

@TheonlyBird He consistently had the right ideas and always chooses wrong haha

How is Jaz simultaneously the best player in the game yet also by far the least convincing #TheTraitors

@Carter_Shade This is it. This is the peak. You’ve done it guys.

i'm not proud of the time i spent on this but i'm also not sorry for it

@SpidersMercedes @TrackrTrain I low key love this. Can you show it in action?

Broski is setting up the @TrackrTrain UK Weather Map. Very cool 😎

@Danny___Dimes Lost it during this episode. One of the best character arcs in TV.

There were truly special episodes this year but I’m not sure any hold a candle to S2E7 from The Bear

@felixwhite @BBCSport Felix and co, in the film Moneyball, when the Oakland As sign Scott Hatteburg to play at 1st base, they make a big deal about how they’re going to have to teach him and how hard it’s going to be. Why is playing on first base so hard and why is it different to any other base?

Are you watching the Baseball for the first time tomorrow on @BBCSport /iPlayer or have anything you need answering? I’m going to be on the coverage for the duration from 6pm and can put it all to the experts for you … get them in here #mlbonbbcsport 👇

@TheonlyBird I honestly love it so much. I think I’ve seen every documentary on it that there is to see

This race is so ridiculous

Look what is written by @SuellaBraverman on the face of the Illegal Migration bill - that this legislation may not be compatible with the European Convention on Human Rights
