Captain Sir Tom Moore (Hon. Colonel), RIP. :rose: A true hero of these British Isles in more ways than one.

- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

He was given the honorary title of Colonel. As such, his official title is Captain Sir Thomas Moore under Ministry of Defence protocol. And I suspect he preferred it - he earned his Captaincy in WWII the hard way!

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Or, maybe he didn't lose it. Maybe we should rather see it as a battle won. A battle won doesn't necessarily imply that the war is won. But a battle won may be a step on the way to victory. Tim Moore is a representative of battles won, not battles lost. It has been my clearly expressed philosophy for 30+ years: Now that his life is over, let us rejoice over what he he throughout his life - what he created, which activities he started, all the memories he created in us ... When my father-in-law died, I had made my daughter (8yo) so excite about all the positive memories that I had to calm her down somewhat when we were standing at the grave. God us dead. Nietzsche is dead. And I am getting old myself as well ... Ever more of my old idols and heroes are reported dead. I have learned to say "Well, such is life. And it is getting sucher and sucher every day." Learn to live with it!
