In the finest traditions of the Royal Navy, one never turns down a shag!

I saw the 'guidance' today on the intranet, to be honest I think it's a bit hypocritical when I have seen people almost forced into participating in 'hometown stories', how can they be any good for someone's PERSEC?

At least with Facebook the user has the ultimate decision on his privacy/security level, unlike having your life story plastered all over a local rag.

I just google translated the guys name and it does actually mean false name in Serbian. Although Google translate isn't always perfect

. There are over 20000 members which I find quite weird. Ah well...

I'm on this Facebook thingummy and was informed by one of these bespectacled moderator types to remove my profile picture, as it was of me thrashing a hunt saboteur. Who won the bloody war eh? Damned commies, lefties and do gooders that's who. By the Lord Harry, i'd set my flatcoat on the lot of them.

Fair call.

Check out the official RN, RM, Army or RAF Facebook pages - they encourage potential recruits, using their genuine identity, to declare their intent to join & serving personnel to reveal their military affiliation.

Cruel irony is a fickle mistress.

Is this a new type of walt? The "racist-in-a-colonial-British-Empire-way" walt. Interesting development in the art of walting Sir Horace

Leave Sir Horace alone McSkimp, he served the Raj well for many a year. Colonel Hathi from the Jungle Book was modelled on him.
