@BBCCasualty #casualty More quasi military rubbish. Shame really. I'm sure medical people roll their eyes at the medical inaccuracies in the show but at least there's a medical advisor to keep it reasonably real. There clearly isn't a military advisor.

[Chris Calkin @OldSoldier425]

@BBCCasualty Oh FFS now they've got a Colonel driving himself with a subaltern as a passenger. There are a number of reasons why that would never happen, but suffice to say, it just wouldn't.#casualty

[Chris Calkin @OldSoldier425]

#casualty More quasi military rubbish. The idea that an army unit would continue an exercise after taking real world casualties is ludicrous as is the idea that civilian medics would be allowed to use the military radio net. Who writes this twaddle? @BBCCasualty

[Chris Calkin @OldSoldier425]

@BBCCasualty #casualty And now that idiot Colonel, who's not a colonel is visiting accompanied by a subaltern. Clearly whoever did the research thought that visiting a cadet unit was research enough. I think they should research their own P45.

@JJChalmersRM How did you manage to blag the gig at Chelsea? Not something you're noted for surely? #envy

@bbcPoV @BBCCasualty The sum total of my IT equipment is a smartphone with a cracked screen, so I don't think I'm in a position to take part. I also don't know how to DM.

[Chris Calkin @OldSoldier425]

#casualty Disappointing. The behaviour of the military is totally inaccurate. The senior officer is a scruff and wearing the rank of a full colonel so why is he wearing a (fictitious) regimental cap badge rather than a General Staff badge? Clearly a lack of research @BBCCasualty

@MrJamesMay Currently in the market with a limited budget, so the question is, are Dacia cars actually any good? #budgetcars #cheapvehicles

[Chris Calkin @OldSoldier425]

@londonblacktaxi @DavidDavisMP Not exactly carrying out their orders. More like carrying out the will of their political leaders, which makes this utter betrayal all the more difficult to stomach.

@TiceRichard You rightly champion British Steel & in govt. would hopefully reopen British iron-ore mines, but would its use in capital projects, infrastructure, warships & the like, truly represent value for money? I really want it to, so please explain. #britishsteel

@TheSimonEvans I don't know what the matter is with this guy. After 19 days and 20 hours blah blah blah, I'd be far too busy "engaging" to waste time writing this twaddle. I bet Lord Byron would let it wait too.

@itv @kelvin_fletcher Tuned into the Fletchers Family Farm, hoping to see how their farm's progressing. Instead, 30 mins in, all we've had is a holiday programme but presumably as they're holidaying on a farm, some urban dweller at ITV thinks that counts. #fletchersfamilyfarm

@SimonBatesUK Fabulous, thank you #everysongsasurprise #boomradio

[Chris Calkin @OldSoldier425]

@SimonBatesUK I know your Boom shows aren't request shows, but tomorrow being the solstice, it would be great to hear Jethro Tull's Ring Out Solstice Bells. #notcheesyxmassongs

[Chris Calkin @OldSoldier425]

#StrictlyComeDancing What an abysmal choice of music for an Argentine Tango, especially as George is a good dancers.

[Chris Calkin @OldSoldier425]

Just switched on to see Paddy Macguiness on #houseofgames Presumably that's another programme about to be axed then.

[Chris Calkin @OldSoldier425]

Can someone please force feed Tess a high-calorie diet. I fear she might break. #strictly

@MrJamesMay Living a rural life & only just having got a broadband that will support streaming services, I've been binging on Grand Tour. Did you save the Staaag from the very last one? #thegrandtour #stag

[Chris Calkin @OldSoldier425]

@annalapwood I've been checking out some of your performances on the Royal Albert Hall organ. I'm curious as to how you watch the conductor, or is it up to him to watch you and conduct the rest of the orchestra accordingly? #playlikeagirl

This little beauty is a cross between an Angora goat & Royal Golden Guernsey. It's very easy to waste a lot of time when little 'uns like this are hanging around. #goats #rarebreeds
