    To correct you I swore allegiance as a regular way back in 1982, but otherwise crack on.
    Dry books of tactics are beneath the notice of a man of genius, and it is a known fact that every British officer is inspired with a perfect knowledge of his duty, the moment he gets his commission; and if it were not, it would be sufficiently acquired in conversaziones at the main-guard or the grand sutler's.

    Did you get the SILVER jubilee medal? Quick start moaning the criteria wasn't fair.

    yes. you want the criteria changing, presumably so those that don't currently qualify would do...ie people that are no longer serving.

    Still cannot read? Yes I want the criteria changing, yes I think the way in which criteria is put together and agreed upon in some dank place in puzzle palace is a joke. You lot all seem to be robots spouting; its the criteria man!!! Heaven forbid someone turns around and say's WHY.

    I am not a rabid revolutionary, just someone asking a question.
