Grumble
Even though I am to get an increased 'work's pension' it will be more than offset by the increase in tax, because the 'state pension' takes almost all of the 'personal allowance' and so the net effect will be a decrease in 'work's pension' of £28/month.

John ‘Paddy’ Hemingway: Last surviving Battle of Britain pilot dies aged 105.

The Prime Minister has paid tribute to the bravery and courage of the last Battle of Britain pilot who died aged 105 on Monday.
John ‘Paddy’ Hemingway, at the age of 21, was one of around 3,000 Allied airmen sent up to defend Britain from the relentless onslaught of the Luftwaffe bombing raids.
He was twice forced to bail out of his Hurricane fighter plane in the space of a week during the fighting.
At the end of the war in April 1945, when he was shot down over Italy, he evaded capture and made it back through enemy lines, dressed as a peasant, with the help of a ten-year-old Italian girl.
In the course of his service with the Royal Air Force, he was shot down four times, survived a plane crash and was even saved by a tree when his parachute failed to open.
Sir Keir Starmer in tribute said he was “saddened” to hear of the former pilot’s death.

I'm going off topic and whining about not having any rocks to crunch from asteroids.

I'd delete that. If the asteroids see it, they might want to come and crunch you.

Because it was 18 days of slumber and it's really really cold outside, so I came inside.

Well i was busy sleeping inside and now I have been woken and I'm hangry, you better have brought some tasty food.

Either a lousy shot or Trump was not the target.

One thing I was taught a very long time ago was, never take a headshot. Unless it is the only option, people move their heads a lot even when the rest of the body is still.
