Rum Ration
the Navy Network

Lads and ladettes, in consideration to the above please post the old day dits here or in the Qtr deck.

What modern day fleet might that be then ?????????.I personally do not give a toss about your comments.as i am sure others do not and if you dont like what the older end have to say (i am not old either).Either dont read them or strike off

Lesbryan,

Like I said, this forum is the Fleet-as in the Modern Fleet. Day to day goings on in the modern RN are welcome in here. Someone droning on about 'in his day' is not. Simple as that. If you don't like it, then go away. You won't be missed that's for sure. What I say may not be to your liking but it is the general consensus amongst the modern navy and some of the moderators on this website.

Have heard the same sentiments as the_matelot ...

To be quite honest I was a bit put off at first for this reason too, I thought I would be told to fcuk off - fortunately this has not happened (not yet anyway).

Brain into gear

The Fleet is more of a 'how to' or 'can you please tell me' type of forum. It is off putting when people come along and make duplicate threads of the same subject, therefore the CO's placed a nice little forum in the History section. If you want to spin a dit go to the Qtr deck or Lil's Lesbryan. You may not give a flying feck what we say but others do and on that note, don't like it, spin and spin fella

Ooooooooooooo,Jenny i just love it when you get all disciplinarian!!!!

(p.s. why not rename the forum to Todays Fleet?)just a thought.

If you look back at my[u]few postings you will find that i dont spin dits 90% of them are downright lies in anycase.I did get tangled up in the coulor of certain bouldings once but left it alone after a while.The referance to the fleet was size in relation to numbers of ships and men/women and not the quality or commitment of aforesaid.I thought these sights were for opinions and a bit of fun if you if you didnt like what i said well what can i say STRIKE ME OFF

It has been said that it's getting very tiresome, dull and boring. And I agree. To be honest, I couldn't care less about Ganges et al as I am a firm believer in progress. The purpose of my rant is pretty straightforward. This forum is the Fleet. I intrepret this as the modern day Fleet. I do not want to read about some dull cnut ditting on about 'in his day'. Some of you may not like my comments. I couldn't give a fcuk. P1ss off if you don't like it. I think this website has the potential to do as well as ARRSE but is being held back by people, who frankly, should stay in the RBL Club.

The very nature of these forums makes one conversation merge into another, this is almost unavoidable like in a normal conversation. Nearly all threads wander off. Personaly I don't believe that shit about younger matelots not wanting to post.
As for your attitude as a mod, that sucks mate, don't bother replying to this though. Tool !
