When you move around in the military you collect stuff, it goes in boxes and those boxes follow you around! Found in the depths of the garage during a clear out. All issued post GW1 so must be 30 years old min. Might be handy! Can you see what’s tucked at the back John Nichol ✈?

Mr Ralph The Retriever is sending some signed books to his chum Rishton who is organising a raffle to raise funds for Guide Dogs before his well-deserved retirement in September. Do follow him for details.

Mr Ralph The Retriever has been for an early walk & cooling swim before the heat ramps up later. PLEASE don't walk your dogs in the baking sun; their paws can easily burn on hot pavements. & NEVER leave them in cars where they can die. [Vid is Ralph swimming around a lake]

This is a BRILLIANT thread. I rarely wear anything other than suits when going out these days (it's an age/shape thing 😂) and derek guy's guidance is really instructive. I am heading to my wardrobe to see where I'm going wrong!

If your furry friend is struggling in the heat, Ralph The Retriever heartily recommends these dog cooling mats. We bung it in the freezer for an hour & he really loves it.

For anyone who has ever been involved in mission planning, or large-package attacks, Operation Midnight Hammer looks like a fairly incredible military undertaking...

RIP Daniel Anjorin. UTTER admiration for these cops willing to risk their lives for others. Interesting that the usual commentators & media, normally so quick to criticise police Police Federation of England and Wales, can't find it in their hearts to acknowledge unbridled bravery. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Early walk for me this morning before it heats up. He even took me for a swim so now I smell like an old damp jumper & gently steaming on the patio..... [Vid is Ralph paddling in a lake then swimming away]

Just me & Ralph The Retriever for fillet, wedges & peppercorn sauce (& a delightful Malbec. Oops forgot any veg!) while watchin TRULY brilliant & iconic John Fogerty Credence Clearwater Revival Creedence Clearwater Revival at Glasto EIGHTY yrs old John! They don't make stars like you today!

Shoes/medals polished & heading to London for RAF Benevolent Fund Bomber Command Memorial service. Funny to think I helped launch its fundraising appeal with wonderful Robin Gibb Bee Gees back in 2008 RAF Museum. Looking forward to seeing old chums & veterans for a snifter Royal Air Force Club later.

Fabulous day at the Bomber Command Memorial RAF Benevolent Fund service, commemorating the service & sacrifice of those who went before us. WONDERFUL to see RAF BBMF Lanc overhead then gather for a restorative ale in Royal Air Force Club afterwards with 102 yr old George Dunn & 104 yr old Colin Bell.

Legendary performance by Sir Sir Rod Stewart at #Glastonbury. Bloody brilliant. No need for publicity stunts, immature chants or nonsensical rabble rousing. Just an 80-yr-old musical star banging out hit after hit. Watch & learn children, watch & learn.

I just don't understand the "be kind on the right side of history" crowd? An 80-yr-old bloke is singing & entertaining 1000s of folk, many of whom disagree with his socio-political views yet STILL revel in the performance, but Stephen Parker 🇪🇸 🇪🇺 decides EVERYONE is wrong?

It's 34°c on patio at moment, so if you are walking your beloved pet in this heat, you are both deranged, negligent, and almost certainly endangering it. A really great article below by my chum Sean Dilley NEWS who has been working with dogs for 26 yrs. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
