Someone has put up an imaginary opening page to Shane Warne's autobiography: https://twitter.com/UpshotTowers/status ... 0061080577
At least I think it's fake.

Re: And today, joining the underground .....
It's t'other way 'round.
Major is short for sergeant-major in this context.
A Russian major general is equivalent to a British brigadier and a US 1 star general.
A Russian lieutenant general is equivalent to a British major general and a US 2 star general.
Generally speaking it's majorly confusing.

I long for the day that Putin's name is entered onto this thread for his own demise.
