No I havn't. A sad part of history, 1917 the Post Office and all. One of the "miscreants' actually had the VC he'd won in WW1 stripped from him. I think he was hanged.

Better be careful about being to serious here

Oi Deano...how come you get so many promotions in one sitting?

Point taken my Lady

Us ex-midshipman are but a young and carefree breed learning the ways of their betters and are having a rare repast of roast rat and porter in the middys hutch this evening if you'd care to join ?
One of the benefits of being left in charge by Cap'n Grock is the ability to self promote.......................in a humble way of course.

From Mr Cooper (is that Finemore?)...................My comment would be.......I think you should dare, never figured out how to multi quote, must have to open a second window or something....hmmm.
Us officers are far to gentlemanly to stoop this low, that is without financial or other reward.

a/g sub-lieutenant Deano kcmg etc
