Happy Birthday Colonel Tom
« on: April 30, 2020, 07:06:26 AM »
A very happy birthday to the amazing Colonel (formerly Captain) Tom Moore who's 100 years old today.  Your promotion is very well deserved, have a great day Sir.     A beacon of light in dark times.
Now where did I put that 10mm socket?

Someone did a Bowie tribute to him last week, if I can get the video compressed enough I'll post it here.

I have just heard on the radio that he has transferred all his funds from his bank account and was last seen boarding a private jet with his new 22 year old girlfriend to the Bahamas  ;D ;D ;D

 Now here is somebody truly deserving of a knighthood unlike half of the House of Parliament. Arise Sir Tom.

Careful Bryan.

Sailing close to the “No politics” rule there

My AI* keeps track of everything you lot write.

* Actually, I rarely use a screen any more. I use my phone for everything.

Julie you are right there, all the time on BBC he was thanking other people, if he dont get a knighthood there is no justice left anywhere.
