I was going to get my mate Graham a @JamesBlunt CD for his 50th birthday but I figured he'd suffered enough already

@vintedUK I need to speak to someone quickly about an order, what is the fastest way to speak to someone

[Michael Dale @Shiny_Michael]

@rentaquill @WeHaveWaysPod @almurray @James1940 @tonypastor70 Got it, thanks a lot

[Michael Dale @Shiny_Michael]

@LegerBattleTour @sommecourt @WeHaveWaysPod Nice to meet you today Paul, thanks for giving up some time to chat to us

@BBCNews apparently Evri International haven't seen this, I have been charged $25 Trump tax on a gift valued at £40 I sent, no one answers their customer service email and they wouldn't release the parcel until it was paid

[Michael Dale @Shiny_Michael]

@evrisupportline can you help with an international parcel, my emails have been completely ignored for days now

[Michael Dale @Shiny_Michael]

@almurray I don't think you'll regret it. MP's are always forgotten and this shows they didn't just lock up drunks.
It says a small section took the police station at Arnhem and held it for 2 days before being over run.
No more spoilers though

[Michael Dale @Shiny_Michael]

@almurray Hi Al, have you ever read Pegasus Patrol? I'll think it's a twist on Sicily and Arnhem you won't have come across before

[Michael Dale @Shiny_Michael]

@almurray I've just started it, very easy to read so far and really interesting.
Two MP's stayed behind guarding POW's while the Div made their get away so the POW's didn't realise anything was happening.
There's a couple of copies on our favourite auction site now

@WeHaveWaysPod @almurray @James1940 "He needs to be in bed with a cup of coco and a rusk" - now there's a tshirt for WHWF 5 if I ever heard one!

[Michael Dale @Shiny_Michael]

@HistoryPegg Not too much I hope, I can only imagine the hours you must have put into it already.
Are you going to WHWF this year?

[Michael Dale @Shiny_Michael]

@HistoryPegg Hi Ian, what's the latest on your book, have you got a date for it?

[Michael Dale @Shiny_Michael]

@UkNatArchives It is, thanks very much for the help

[Michael Dale @Shiny_Michael]

@UkNatArchives Hi, is there something wrong with your website today? I can't sign in, it keeps saying there's an error

[Michael Dale @Shiny_Michael]

[Michael Dale @Shiny_Michael]

@HistoryPegg Hi Ian, do you have a date for your book yet? Just getting excited to read it

[Michael Dale @Shiny_Michael]

@WeHaveWaysPod @almurray @James1940 Hi Guys, I was just wondering if you saw the email I sent a couple of weeks ago about Betty’s 100th birthday?

[Michael Dale @Shiny_Michael]

@Fototripper we had to buy an actual sh1t ticket in Rome!
