It's that time of year again. The anniversary of the first British use of Assault Gliders on a meaningful scale... it was almost the last. Op Ladbroke, the near disastrous landing at Syracuse, followed by Op Fustian on the Catania Plain, almost finished the fledging GPR.

Caught crabs today.

Here is a quick look at one of the spreads from our latest Volume on IX Troop Carrier Command. Volume 2 focuses on the 53rd Troop Carrier Wing, and contains upwards of 1,000 pages, and 1,500 images. The foreword was kindly provided by WW2TV Paul Woodadge, thanks Paul!

The DCFC Tickets 🎟 office is a shambles. Both in person, and online. The website is absolutely useless. All I want to do is bring my daughters to their first game this weekend and it is looking impossible. We're talking about a new generation of fans here. Sort it out.

Does anyone know if the carpark at the velodrome is likely to be open today? Got my two young daughters with me and they absolutely will not walk from where I usually park. #dcfc #dcfcfans

Ah yes, Toyko. BBC Sport

Nice pair of boobies.

I'm planning to stay up just a little beyond midnight, sat on the decking with a blanket round my legs, so I can look up at the sky and see absolutely fuck all of this meteor shower.

Actually was pretty incredible.

Does anyone else ever watch films like Lord of the Rings, or series like Game of Thrones, and during big battles think "the damage a .50cal could do here"?

Me this morning having gotten Oasis tickets in the pre-sale last night.
