D-Day Commemorative - Why isn't Southampton's part being acknowledged.

The main AVRO production line at Ringway, now Manchester Airport, used to have a fake farm on the roof to camouflage it, and they would send people up onto the roof to move the fake cows around to enure German reconnaissance didn't spot anything fishy. -
Whilst Gaza grabs all the attention, the sun has risen on the 834th day of Putin's Special Military Operation, which is estimated to have cost him over half a million casualties and reduced a large part of his army to scrap metal. In thinking about the children suffering in Gaza let us not forget the Ukrainian children living and dying under Russian missile attack, nor the thousands abducted forcibly from the occupied territories.

The UN is a talking shop that is toothless whilst the Security Council retains it's controlling position. It will do nothing about Gaza in the same way it will not respond to 'blatant attacks on innocent defenceless civilians' in Ukraine, or any of the World's other hotspots.

Disco comes to an end, now need to wait until next year for the next searies of SNW. In the meantime, long long ago, in a universe far far away, The Acolyte starts.

How on earth do these people get to such high positions ? Having been warned by the auditors there were issues with Horizon and SPMs were blaming it for their accounting problems, Alice Perkins, former chair of the PO, 'didn't make the connection'; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c88847v14e3o

Don't forget the Mayflower, which only went to Plymouth because after leaving Southampton one of the ships sprung a leak, or Henry V sailing for the campaign in France that culminated at Agincourt. As regards D-Day, never forget those that were fighting elsewhere on that day, in Italy and Burma. -

The fact that somebody 5 ft 5in tall could be one of the greatest rugby league players of all time is incredible enough, but his story after he stopped playing throws an awful lot of what we might view as our 'troubles' into perspective. The pictures of Kevin Sinfield carrying Rob over the line at the end of their charity run was inspiring and gut wrenching at the same time. Along with Dodie Weir, Rob's illness whilst tragic at leat served to raise public awareness of a dreadful condition and boost fund raising for new treatment and research facilities. We will always have the videos of his incredible Challenge Cup performances.
