The Regiment is pleased to report that, after 5 days of severe gastrointestinal misfiring, the Field Marshal has regained control of his rear artillery. He has returned to barracks & can be seen here relaxing in the Officer’s Mess with his full array of mighty weaponry repaired & on display. #FMJPC
Andy WheatleyThe Field Marshal's woes continue. We are now 4 days into this bout of rear artillery failure. He has just been informed that the vet will see him again if he isn't producing solid fire by dusk tomorrow. He is not amused or able to engage in eye contact due to a catastrophic loss of dignity. #FMJPC
Argentina backs Infantino. Well there's a surprise. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...
Gianni Infantino: Norway call for Fifa president to resign but Mexico and Argentina show supportThe Norwegian Football Federation calls for Fifa president Gianni Infantino to resign after he attempted to sell off stakes in the World Cup.www.bbc.co.ukIt feels like it's only a matter of time before some religious MAGA nutcase starts a business selling PriorityHeaven, offering private evacuation flights from Armageddon for rich white tech bros.

Andy WheatleyThe Field Marshal made it clear he shouldn't be at the vet, objected to being weighed, howled at the anal gland clearing & shouted a canine expletive when injected. When a thermometer was placed in his rear artillery, he turned around & bit me. Vet said it was fair enough. He is now resting. #FMJPC
I love this. Like many, I want to earn good money, but it’s for the security of my family and friends rather than for the sake of it or the accumulation of wealth. If everybody took the message in this quote and acted on it, the world would be a much happier, stable and equitable place.
GroovyShellyI'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

Andy WheatleyOh look, the UK govt isn't considering an enquiry that would expose multiple powerful members of the British establishment and business world as sex offenders and paedophiles whilst lifting the lid on all their friends in high places who turned a blind eye. #Epstein www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
The lack of meaningful action in the #Epstein case here and in the US is staggering. We all know what happened and yet just one person - a woman - is in jail (albeit deservedly). Our representatives are staring at known rapists, sex traffickers & paedophiles in positions of power and just shrugging.

Andy WheatleyThis was the moment he realised he was going to the vet.
Good thread this. I read loads but it's all history, biographies and current affairs and stopped reading fiction many years ago when I just fell out of love with it. I'd love to start again. Hoping this list might re-engage me......
Sathnam SangheraIf you met someone who had fallen out of love with reading, and you had one shot at getting them back into it, what book would you give them? For a thing.
This was the moment he realised he was going to the vet.
Andy WheatleyDo not be fooled by the Field Marshal’s look of innocence Overnight, he vomited in the hallway, left a trail of explosive diarrhoea across the kitchen floor & then rolled in fox poo during his walk. He is going to the vet at 5pm. The howls of regret will be audible across the world. #FMJPC
Why is every Reform MP so unlikeable?
Northern & proud 👊French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. These fuckers really are vile bastards 😡😡
This feels very much like a global case of boiling frog syndrome. Unless we get off our arses and act we are heading towards disaster.
Nahel BelgherzeBordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.
