Claiming being inconvenienced as being oppressed is like comparing a paper cut to an amputation.
**wife drunk and walking home with food truck food** W: My potato is making my arm fall asleep. Me: 🤔
Here we go, here we go! The 2nd Royal Norfolk Regiment deploy to France with the BEF in 1939. Here they find the Phoney War as the Germans and the Allies seem to be in a stalemate. Please retweet! Thanks chums! open.spotify.com/episode/6sM…

While walking through Tokyo with the wife and she's taking photographs: Wife: You're not allowed in my art. I don't want people to know I'm married to you. I mean that in the nicest way. Me: I see. #thingswifesays #justmarriedthing #truelove #artist
Just thinking about the early 2000's commercial when musical ring tones first came out and some dude had an 8-bit sounding "Last Resort" playing. Really thinking about the bimbo who asks, "wow are you in a band?" What a time to have lived.
Wife: "The train is on this side, it's only on this side." Me: .... Wife: "Wait it's on that side, you right." Me: "I read the board, I know things." Wife: "I'm not used to that." #justmarriedlife #thingswifesays
Just thinking about the "10-10-220" commercials where the pitch man talks to you like an idiot for not dialing 7 digits before dialing the phone number you want to call....what a wild time that was.

9 Apr 1945, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Lutheran pastor & theologian & anti-Nazi & spy is hanged at Flossenbürg Concentration Camp. Shortly before the end he said, “This is the end… for me, the beginning of life.” Honoured at millennium with statute among @wabbey C20th martyrs. #WW2

Thursday is a big day for us! The first in our series on '2nd Royal Norfolk Regiment, 1939-45'. This first one feature pre-war training and the mobilisation. We found it fascinating how much the training had stayed the same up to Gary's time in the 1970s. He is living history!
