@avfc_stef@villaontour_ Whilst I understand the point you are trying to make, it is a banal argument. Any business runs on the sum of the parts, both positive and negative, it is very easy to snipe from the sidelines at individual elements. A £50 increase is not unreasonable and is 🟰 to 8 pints of 🍺
@jjmrko@LionsMilitary@AVFCOfficial And that’s exactly the angle that should be taken wrt Veterans IMO. It’s about (re) connecting Veterans who are Villa fans, who now may be geographically dislocated, with their club. This in turns grows our fan base with their families etc. it’s more complex than just a discount.
@HMLT22@NavyLookout@NavalChildren Perhaps you should do some research regarding the charity and its aims, beneficiaries etc before spouting such utter nonsense…
@Piloto_Steve@RobertClark87 Utter nonsense. I was on ACSC with many of the afore mentioned Pilots, Navs and even aircrew and the current CDS was head and shoulders more capable than any of them.
@No_Bikers@DerekOwens8761@LeeHurstComic How many of these actually work within the Royal Navy, as opposed to wider Defence and NATO jobs? I’ll give you a clue, the answer is 5. 6 if you include General Jenkins. ⚓️
@bernjcc@hawkins_carole@GenGJenkinsRM Firstly, it was HMS DIAMOND. Secondly, she hadn’t had the PiP upgrade when she was in the Red Sea. Finally, it was in 2024. Other than that, your observations were entirely correct, albeit “based on outdated info” 🙄
@ShipWrektPod@TomSharpe134 Have just listened to this, great stuff and I agree with most of what was discussed (T42s 👍💪) Still great opportunities for fun out there. Son is 3 years out of BRNC; winter deployment in 2023 and two COs of DMND & RCMD who definitely got the ‘Work Hard, Play Hard’ mantra. ⚓️
@TomSharpe134 Blimey, it sounds like you are advocating that 1SL, as the only remaining 4* post within the Naval Service, should be tied Dark Blue if the RN doesn’t hold any Joint or Combined 4* Posts. You will be telling me next that only a Warfare Officer can fulfill the post 😉
@UKForcesTracker@HMS_Richmond@HMNBDevonport Ridiculous ‘analysis’. The hull was launched in 1993. She has deployed East of Suez at least 5 times, Falklands twice and the Caribbean twice, amongst multiple other taskings. A great servant to the RN
