      My dad was in the Signals 1945 to 1947, lucky enough to get on the white helmets display team. I had an uncle in the Signals too, killed in Italy in 1944

      As the suspect died in the explosion I would take a risk to say that it was a terrorist incident. But just imagine, that could've been Warley!

      Confirmed 22 dead and 59 injured.

      What a sickening, cowardly and pointless crime.

      Thinking of those who lost have lost people and the injured. Yet again, our fantastic emergency services step up to the bar. God bless all.

      Not possible to have too many trains, it's a known scientific fact.

    What a sh1te year so far! Smashed my elbow just before NYE, six weeks away from driving as a result, to find out someone had raised a grievance against me whilst away from the office, and to top it off my Dad died yesterday. Bring on 2017!!

      There are times when life tries to cover you in sh1te. Take a very deep breath, be strong, and to quote an old song, look to the future now. Bless you mate and PM me anytime if you need to unload.

    Is operating a scalpel whilst drinking Old Peculiar a good idea?
