@crentist_dds @rgpoulussen In the early part of the war the US Army used British style helmets which they'd got/made for the Great War.

@NickMotown We had a lad who's nickname was Shearer. The footballer always scored; our colleague never did... with the girls.

@wesstreeting @BMA_JuniorDocs Well who would have imagined that!!

@RichardBurgon Fantastic; followed by massive government investment?

@SgtMajFrench I remember running a pistol range when one of the old and bold tried to fire his Browning with one hand on the pistol grip and one under the muzzle. I think I decided that ten rounds safely discharged at seven meters would qualify on that occasion.

@militaryhistori To be shot with a Webley Mk VI naturally!

@PaulEmbery As a Christian this hurts because it ridicules something deeply important for me. I know I'm an easy target and I expect it. I don't want people to get hurt so pile it on if it makes you feel cool.

@FidelCuntstruck I'm sure they will be very popular.

@FlintDibble Might be a bit cold; should she have warmed him up first? Is that acceptable archeological practice?

@PoliticsPollss Generally I find that people from the ethnic minorities are more than capable of filling in forms, getting driving licences or passports etc. What they don't like is being patronised.

[Matthew Nightingale @mdhnight]

@nigelmp It was a pleasure to see you; hope you warmed up a bit.

[Matthew Nightingale @mdhnight]

Teacher Warren @WTSmith17 went viral with 45m views, when @elonmusk quote posted my follower Lee Harris @leeharris.

He teaches critical thinking to a pupil who saw @jk_rowling as a transphobe. The pupil sees the light.

His school in Massachusetts have just fired him.

@XJF101 @roversfanzine I need to find out more about my namesake Mr Nightingale.

[Matthew Nightingale @mdhnight]

@PaulEmbery But did you? Not sure my knees are up to it but I'd be very tempted!
