@kanniekaknie Damn, when you said pyramid I got really excited 👇

@jimmyspoint @thyphoidjack Concur. Sadly, we'll never know their justification for heading north at that longitude. Neither the IEC's frugality in not providing the ship with a chronometer, which were readily available then.

@BeatlemaniaUK I'm gonna say yes. (AI tells me Linda's only vocal contribution was on Let It Be two years later)

@BeatlemaniaUK Helter Skelter?

@BeatlemaniaUK Note the right-handed bass flipped and restrung for southpaw Paul 🔄

@BeatlemaniaUK Given the quality of recording equipment on the rooftop, "Don't Let Me Down"

@thyphoidjack Any offers on the regiment/year? I'm stumped; R1s hint at late 70s/early 80s😕. And why does the O. C. have a different badge to the rest?

[Bruce-Brand @dnarbecurb]

@rovvmut_ @elonmusk Douglas Adams would've loved it! 😢

@thyphoidjack Liverpool FC stand in the background 🙄

@Renefox65 @thyphoidjack This is true. Duimgooi was uit soos boknaai op die voorstoep 👍

[Bruce-Brand @dnarbecurb]

@thyphoidjack SADF doing a SAS? 🙄

[Bruce-Brand @dnarbecurb]

@thyphoidjack I'm buggered if I can work out the regiment from the dress and helmet/badge. Is the band member front left necessarily part of the same regiment? 🤔

[Bruce-Brand @dnarbecurb]

@WayneYne9009 @thyphoidjack Ditto. Feels like yesterday...

[Bruce-Brand @dnarbecurb]

@NatashaCL7 @elonmusk Maybe Toto were right. It's that rain down in Africa...

[Bruce-Brand @dnarbecurb]

@thyphoidjack Jeez Mike, reading that my blood turned to ice. Can I add one thing...those 20mm cannons in the towers at 'Dangs firing at random during the night. Kinda sticks in the head...

[Bruce-Brand @dnarbecurb]

@rfbarnard @thyphoidjack We called it a STRIM. Saw a demonstration in '71 but never saw or heard of it being used operationally after that. The round resembled a blank but delivered enough oomph to send that grenade 100m+. The recoil was enough to dislocate your shoulder so it was shot from the hip.

@thyphoidjack Still there. Pic courtesy of Google Maps.

@thyphoidjack My spelling sucks. Sorry, apocryphal 😳
