@PaulBrummell @HMSIronDuke 10 years ago 21/11/14, I welcomed her to Haiti. Her 18 gun salute on arrival at Cap caused rumours that the US marines were landing. The Mayor went on the radio to correct the fake news. It was a good visit. Iron Duke hosted important talks on Caribbean migration issues.

Congratulations @sandumaiamd. A historic win which paves the way to a better future for all Moldovans.

@SimonMcDonaldUK I enjoyed eating durian in the streets of Singapore Chinatown innthe 90s (oh those happy Sundays mooching amongst the herbal medecine stalls, food hawkers, and exotic fruit traders!)

Never could bring a durian to UK due to Sing Airlines' ban on carrying them in the cabin!

@PeriklesGREAT @elonmusk Did the Pilgrim Fathers culturally fit when they arrived from England to colonize America? What a crock of BS you have shared!

I've loved all my travels but there are many compensations for coming home: family, friends, places, and breakfast with old mates like these.

As Hugh C said at The Stranglers gig at Brum Odeon, 1983 "you spend your life going away, but in the end you come home".

Lovely day for the Leamington Spa Parkrun - my first PR outing in 5 years. Great course. One challenging hill, and a long stretch into rural Warwickshire alarmingly named "Badger attack back passage". Thanks to the organisers! @parkrunUK

@PaulBrummell Undoubtedly the finest photograph I have seen in recent years. How fid you fare at the other end?

Current UK violence echoes historic pogroms, such as Chisinau 1903. Fake news gives an unjustified racist spin to a shocking crime. Uneducated, racist yobs respond. Cynical "politicians" fuel flames. And look where those pogroms led us. @RoryStewartUK

@GarethWardUK Wishing you a brilliant and successful mission!

There's something incongruous about the musical accompaniment to this fountain show in #Budapest. I doubt it's what #steppenwolf had in mind. Brilliant, nevertheless.

The Avon, recently reinforced by the Leam, flows beneath the 1830 Leamington Aquaduct which conveys the Grand Union Canal. @LoveLeamington
