Sadly, my experience of ”other ranks” and their slang is predominantly dark blue. By the time I was exposed to the green, I was having to deal with SNCOs and officers, mainly in the G6 area.I could give you a dit that would leave you in stitches, but it would be off topic
It left a Bde Comd '' bewildered '' and left a Razzman '' Purple with rage ''
Ahhhh Ok then
On the bus, off the bus for about 2 weeks.
Bde Comd; inspection on the square. 58 pattern webbing, larry largepacks, sausage bags, DMS boots & puttee's, the whole shebang packed to some crappy kit list.
Bde Comd & entourage reaches me, he looks me in the peepers and says
'' Do you have your housewife soldier '' ?
'' Yes Sir '' says I.
'' Where is it '' ? says the Briggie
'' In the bottom of my Larry '' says I
'' Why is it in the bottom of your Larry '' ? says the Briggie
'' Something has to go in the bottom of my Larry .........................................................'' says I
....... It was probably the '' not everything can go at the top '' that caused the confusion and bewilderment and the Razzman to turn a violent shade of purple
Demanding and asking are words that trip you up when translating between French and English. Always made me feel uneasy.

You could have semi quoted Spike and said, "Everything's got to be somewhere."

Have a link... not the BBC though...
AstraZeneca says meeting with Commission, EU countries is still on
The Commission wants to know what’s behind the company’s projected 60 percent cut to the EU’s deliveries in the first quarter of 2021.
It isn't just Ireland you know, although being an Irishman you will have heard of this town in France, and maybe even visited it perhaps?
Probably someone in your family will have.
Their population is normally around 14,000 with a large influx of tourists whenever that starts up again.

Click on motif for consultation, choose 1st vaccination and see what comes up.
I'll maybe save you some time there,
"Due to strong demand, this center is no longer available: 48 vaccinations will take place in the next 28 days.
Try again in a few days or find another centre."
For a town of 14,000 too.

For info, Spike’s ‘Everybody’s got to be somewhere’ wasn’t original to him.
In one of Richmal Compton’s ‘Just William’ books, published in the late 20s, that exact line was used by William when asked what he was doing up a tree.

Wouldn’t surprise me. Their CEO gave a very comprehensive explanation in La Repubblica - no doubt the same as that given to the Brussels bods. Not much left to add to that.
I mentioned above that pi**ing off Astra brings out the Viking in them!

Best admit defeat and ask the EU to sort it out on our behalf.
I’m sure the committee to agree to an agenda by Q4 next year. The the serious discussions could begin.
Their Plan A was to stay in the dressing room for 90 minutes lacing up their boots, until all of this either blew over or someone else came along and dealt with it.
As per SOP's.
Unless you have had dealings with continental fonctionnaires in their natural domain you will never understand the thought processes involved, although times really are changing and I have met some efficient ones recently.
I even get emails replied to now within a week!
I'll be buggered if I would let then do that to me.

I definitely remember German military planning in AFG. Slack, and very shocked when things didn’t happen the way they planned them to.
The French just don’t like to compromise. Dismissive of everybody else.

An interesting read .
Surprisingly well balanced for the BBC.
I would say however they have omitted to mention IK testing rates ate significantly higher than other country’s.
Test and trace was a bit of a mess, but that didn’t help when people wouldn’t answer the phone, or in cases I’m aware of, turned the App off so they wouldn’t be contacted .
Ironically those I know who are being the most critical of the Governments handling of the pandemic seem to be the ones who have wilfully ignored the guidance.
