El Timbo

Old, tired and jaded, sick of the idiots in this world.

Boots, mud, sand and things that went bang were my theme tune for 30+ years

Good at voicing pigs.

@curlytailspigs What a great photo 😊

@curlytailspigs So sorry to hear of these loses Jane, you've given them all a safe and wonderful life, very happy Piggies to take them safely to their journey across the 🌈 bridge. ❤️

@pinstripedline Should be left as perfect as it is, just like Fawlty Towers.

@SamWatson__ @LandRover_UK @LandRoverAfrica @LandRoverMENA @LRMonthly @LandRoverOwner Natural habitat mate 😍

@The_Real_Fly Got bad news for you Ivan

There's not enough decent tea and biscuits in the whole of Ukraine to get that many British officers together in one bunker 🤣

Whatever you're using, either smoke less of it or add more water 🤣

[El Timbo @El_Timbo]

@curlytailspigs I'm very sorry to hear of Liz's passing, I'm sure all of the Curly Tails team will rally around Alan and support each other to get you all through this difficult time.

Her legacy is safe with you all! ❤️

@Military_Lion @ForcesNews @gregbagwell Typhoon is perfectly capable at low level but any Tranche 1 airframes we send won't be operating in that arena anyway, they're air superiority fighter / interceptors.

There is NO safe platform in a fully contested low level battlespace, MANPADS are fully happy to down anything.

@pinstripedline The political class have evolved in recent years into the most mentally disconnected humans I've ever encountered.

A large % are completely unskilled, firmly programmed that their actions can never bring consequences to themselves.

They know they'll never be held accountable.

[El Timbo @El_Timbo]

@Raymond52182467 @AS332L Utter nonsense

[El Timbo @El_Timbo]

@curlytailspigs The King's new residence, impressive!

Keep up the great work, I still plan on making it back to visit you all 😊

@LeoKearse @thinkdefence Hard to tell if you're being serious Leo.

If you are, see professional psychiatric help immediately.

EU rules don't preclude nations from providing military aid.

If you're being satirical, deadpan mate.

[El Timbo @El_Timbo]

@PaulCC20 @pinstripedline Ok so where is this money you speak of?

Come on smart arse, let's see the proof of your claims, enlighten us all with your genius 🙄

[El Timbo @El_Timbo]

@pinstripedline Simply the UK can't afford to have a fiscally incompetent Gov like the current one and expect any form of defence spending increases.

The recent financially irresponsible decisions taken by the former PM and chancellor have severely weakened an already badly damaged economy.

[El Timbo @El_Timbo]

@soonergrunt @thinkdefence Not exactly an issue for a Typhoon but we could let a Canberra do it and photograph it all the way down in pin sharp detail 🤣

[El Timbo @El_Timbo]

@pinstripedline More pointedly, fit for WHAT purpose?

[El Timbo @El_Timbo]

@thinkdefence That's aint burned boys & girls, just about right that is 😋

[El Timbo @El_Timbo]

@thinkdefence Ajax as a program is everything wrong with the MoD.

The failings were plain for all to see when the inevitable bloat happened, experienced opinions were silenced, comp lobbyists were believed, huge £ thrown at it even when it was obvious it was unfit.

Now the coverup to service

[El Timbo @El_Timbo]

@BorisJohnson @thinkdefence @ZelenskyyUa I'll tell you a few facts lardarse, noone wanted you here, UK security services told you not to, you had zero authority, you achieved nothing, your personal security staff were fully pissed off at being used for your jolly when they should have been elsewhere.

Do not come back.

[El Timbo @El_Timbo]

@pinstripedline It's no longer considered a problem for serving MP's, multiple cabinet ministers and now two PM's have hilariously bad PV's and have effectively failed SC / DV but have been still taken office.

When the politicians in office normalise lying they don't feel security is important.

[El Timbo @El_Timbo]

@DevaPete @thinkdefence Not quite true considering at least 30% of the basic sensor suite is now in the prototype testing phase.

Engine work has reached partial prototyping levels too.
