Moaning? Send a private message to the arrse user gungythree, apparently Malaya was a right doddle.

You need your geriatric cunt booting in.

Dear Hector Chavez V. Nah I wouldn't have said anything to you. My issue is with the chav feral fkn weasel youth element who dont seem to give a shit generally in society today. They could do with enlisting and doing a bit, maybe that way they would understand more, trouble is they're fkn untrainable, ask anyone who has had dealings with these pricks.

The Pinget Jasa has now been approved after years of moaning by some so it proves that there is a requirement to reward service, of any sort.

But they did recognise that service, you got paid.

There's no need. Anybody embarrassed by their lack of medals seems to just go and award themselves a whole bunch of expensive bling.

This is definitely smelling wah-ish now, I reckon it was a good call by Capt D.

If you had *no* medals, like a lot of the RBL members I know, then wearing a single commemorative wouldn't bother me. Left or right, it's something that doesn't knot my knickers one bit. But to tarnish an LSGC is a bit daft - that says more to me about you that the stuff that comes after it. The Falkland's anniv. one is a bit disrespectful I feel. I realise you're going to say you're doing it to commemorate the event, but it makes it look like you were there, and you weren't.

The Pinget Jasa is a tad different to the 'I Drank Herefoder Pils' medal. Do you get a bar for each posting too?

That said, I quite like the sound of 'BFG black and white number plate registration', well ally

Are these the same "untrainable pricks" that are doing the business daily in Afghanistan then?

If you are genuine, you sound a right pillock.(If you're not, you still sound a pillock)
So you did a full stretch, and got a LSGC. That in itself is no mean feat.
Why not be satisfied with your achievements, instead of trying to gild the lily with laughable bits of shiney shiney ?
As previously stated, "It's all about you".

Was Arty Laycock a blanket stacker or did he pump up the tyres on Wessex heli's for the Para's. Didnt he even go over the the water for an N.I gong like 90% of us.

But they arent at Remembrance surely? I'd imagine there would be a right fucking kick off if a couple of scrotes tried to ruin the show..

Few years ago in Halifax an ex APTC and Army boxer bloke called Jim was jumped outside the New Inn pub after spending all day on the lash after Remembrance, he dusted the fucking pair of them, Jim was 80 years old and was blind in one eye, absolute legend who now is seeing out his days in SA. (The two local scrotes were battered again by Jims nephews not long after and were AGAIN given the good news in town on New Years Eve by a load of local head cases )
