    WTF is it with new account holders and a fascination for waltism

    Walts = sad men (& women) who exaggerate their military experience to (a) get laid, (b) get free beer or (c) combination of the two.

    Walt-Hunters = self appointed sad men & women who hound the original bunch of sad men & women in the somewhat vain hope that they'll impress someone with their ninja google-fu skills.

    One day a walt-hunter is either going to pick the wrong target and receive a shoeing, or they'll hound a so-called "walt" to suicide, only to find that he really did hold the CGC/DSO/MC/MM etc and that foreign bling was awarded by a grateful nation for services rendered.

    Unless they're fraudsters (which means that the Bizzies will be involved), why can't you leave well enough alone. They're not harming anyone - or devaluing someone elses' honour. Bona fide recipients of awards know what they have done and no-one can take that away from them.

    There are very few things that would please me more than seeing CCTV footage on the six o'clock news of some little geek with glasses and a 'Jane's Handbook of British Army Operations 1945 - 2000' being kicked to death by an ex-Para nutter with more medals than brain cells and a serious case of anger induced PTSD violence.

    Tell the cunt that you once met David Stirling and helped him out of a highly embarrassing situation by lending him £50, and that if he (the Walt) really gave a shit about the reputation of the regiment he should pay this debt. Then give the cash to H4H (Don’t want to be accused of walting the walt do you?)

    He probably won’t be prepared for this walt tax and will pay up to maintain his cover.

    Same for "Sterling" and "Stirling" when referring to the man or the Lines.
    "A democracy cannot survive as a permanent form of government. It can last only until its citizens discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority (who vote) will vote for those candidates promising the greatest benefits from the public purse, with the result that a democracy will always collapse from loose fiscal policies, always followed by a dictatorship." Lord Thomas MacCauley 1857

    My old mans mate was a blade. He's mid 60's, scruffy as fuck and spends his entire life either tapping my dad up for a few quid or telling anyone that'll listen about what he did with his parent regt. (Never mentions 22 but is a gen ex-blade)

    I'm praying for the day some ACF AI gets dragged out his local by the neck for calling him a walt.

    I have no particular interest in waly hunting. I do find it jolly odd that someone should choose to regale total strangers with derring do tales of bullshit over breakfast and feel no shame.
    As for the food, porridge, toast and bacon sarnies. For the record i'm not fat, its just my bones have been abnormally enlarged in a secret military programme that i cant telk anyone about...
