@RushmerPR Brilliant read! I've read man stories of the "Original" as a group. Great to hear individual takes on events, definitely the bravest of the brave, and what a character. ๐๐ซก
Great to get the opportunity to work on content creation for @yorkracecourse...early morning with Clarehaven string was a top start to the working week
Newmarket trainers John and Thady Gosden have a brilliant record at the @SkyBet Ebor Festival
The team @yorkracecourse take a trip round Clarehaven Stables to get the inside track on some of their stars as they prepare for this yearโs four-day festival on the Knavesmire ๐๐ป

@mpwill64@tav190@brayshawgolf@NCGU1908 'Bottom line is, I was a far better captain than you and I don't care two figs that you shot nine-under in yesterday's practice round...'
@butcher_roland Will look forward to tuning in...your Middlesex team of the early 1980s triggered my interest in County cricket...Slack, Radley, Butcher, Gatting, Emburey, Edmonds, Van der Bijl, Daniel etc...struggling to recall the keeper...maybe Downton?
Over 40 years ago I read+re-read this book...it inspired me so much. Years later it was a privilege to sit in the same press box as its writer Brian Glanville - and discover he was as generous + warm-hearted as his written words were colourful + insightful. RIP#BrianGlanville

The Artists Rifles was perhaps the most curious regiment in the British Army.ย Formed in 1860 by a group of painters, architects, poets, sculptors, musicians & actors concerned about a possible French invasion.ย Tonight I shall be telling their story to the Streatham Society.
Big thanks to Paul @WW2TV for asking me onto his excellent YouTube channel to talk all things Reg Seekings...Paul's incisive questions allowed us to dissect the character of this important and gallant wartime SAS soldier...
