Do people still play don and bonkers these were classic card games that went of for hours Guard rooms prior to televisions were great sources of home grown enntertaiment whe also used to have tourmaments of ships...mighty fine
Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe
there is no crackon guard any more ( not that there was that much)
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
