    The vast majority of Marines withing the Royal Marines Corps family have earned the right to capitalisation in MHO.
    I have a great deal of respect for the Royal Marines, made even more so since Daddykins was one for 25 years. However, your opinion of the right to capitalisation is neither here, nor there, regarding grammatical correctness and certainly does not entitle you to correct another's writing when you're wrong. By all means use a capital letter if you feel so inclined, but don't propose it as the right way to do things.

    I have it on good authority that the following titles come up with suprisingly frequency:

    Pimms - just a summer drink?

    Can new world wine ever compete with historic Europrean vinyards?

    Limp handshakes - are they the secret mark of a true gent?

    Gieves and Hawkes - can they ever make Mr Bean look like Mr Bond?

    Why are women who look like horses so attractive to officers?

    Is it a good idea to have read all of Patrick O'Brian's novels before coming to your AIB?

    What fun can one have with a steward?

    How can one mask incompetence by over reliance on senior rates?

    Have you bitten off more than you can chew?

    Is your ambition several factors greater than your ability?

    Good luck to all about to have their AIB!
    My parents told me I could be anything that I wanted to be, so I became an arsehole.

    Daddykins obviously didn't instil enough respect for Royal Marines into you.

    As a thread which is trying to out the biggest throbber on RR, you're leading a late charge for pole position.

    Not you Pontius, incase there is any confusion as to who I'm replying to.
