Fireside History: August 2011
http://firesidehistory.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Come grab a seat, pour yourself a pint and read the wafflings of an armchair historian! Monday, 8 August 2011. Well it's been a while - again. I've been spurred on to write something now that I have a little more time to spare. Plus, a friend of mine has just started a new blog, reminding me how neglected this poor old slice of cyberspace is. As was the treatment of the Polish Independent Parachute Brigade by British high command. Honestly, it's not an easy subject for me to come to terms with - the ...

Come grab a seat, pour yourself a pint and read the wafflings of an armchair historian! Wednesday, 22 February 2012. Things are toodling along fine I suppose. I've just got over a burst of bronchitis, which was hellish. I'm still not 100% and wake up in the mornings feeling groggy and have coughing fits every now and hen. TB lite is not fun!

Come grab a seat, pour yourself a pint and read the wafflings of an armchair historian! Saturday, 26 March 2011. The sound of breaking glass. So it's the big day - a chance to cause some havoc and show the capitalists that the streets can be taken over and become the battleground of a class war. So the protester packing his rucksack puts in some bricks; he really loves the sound of breaking glass. Let's attack Fortnum and Mason! Let's attack the Ritz! We'd decided to go to the Ritz to take my mother out ...

Fireside History: November 2010
http://firesidehistory.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Come grab a seat, pour yourself a pint and read the wafflings of an armchair historian! Sunday, 28 November 2010. A question of charity. It has been a long time hasn't it! My life runs along the lines of nothing to say and then a flurry of activity. For example, I've only just got back from from Bologna, Italy (more on this at a later date). But about a fortnight ago, I had a small but interesting quandary. A second knock. I answered the door. Ah-huh,' I thought. My wife pointed out she wouldn't be able ...

Fireside History: April 2011
http://firesidehistory.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Come grab a seat, pour yourself a pint and read the wafflings of an armchair historian! Sunday, 24 April 2011. For some strange reason, the UK is basking in summery conditions. No clouds in the sky, people heading to the beach and warnings of smog brought about by the muggy climate. Naturally as a British citizen I'm now complaining that it's too hot for my liking. Similar to winter being too cold and spring not being summery enough. Anyway here's Spinal Tap in all their glory. Thursday, 14 April 2011.

Fireside History: June 2011
http://firesidehistory.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Come grab a seat, pour yourself a pint and read the wafflings of an armchair historian! Wednesday, 29 June 2011. Goodbye to an old friend. On the historical front I’ve had some sad news. Military Illustrated (MI), a magazine I wrote for fairly regularly, has folded. For me it’s been a publication that always been there and one to buy irregularly whenever an interesting set of articles cropped up. Its commentary on World War Two was particularly noteworthy. Tuesday, 21 June 2011. Ch Ch Ch Ch Changes!
