A Field Marsha! What in h__l is a Field Marsha!? What are its pronouns?

Would a cake with 10,000 candles illuminate all of Runcore before exploding the gasworks?

Feild Marshal - address as sir

No naked flames in Runcorn, too many chemicals in the air.

Are oliphants centurions?     Yes
What does Foxtrot Sierra November stand for and does one consider it ribald? Techno revealed this as Frederick Simeon Nobbs.
Would a cake with 10,000 candles illuminate all of Runcore before exploding the gasworks? Not enough oxygen in Runcorn to sustain candles. This video is mis-labelled, it's how they all burn here.

Did people actually not crouch, kneel, or fall on their faces before 1900 (unless they were doing the necessary)? It is rumoured that some Continentals skulked in such a disgraceful manner but I never believed such a thing.
Will a Pendraken 1815 French army be bought before one's 75th birthday and will it be displayed on a blue plastic drop cloth? Categorically not. If a late war French army does make an appearance, it will be from Leipzig. It will also be after the Prussians, Poles, Austrians, Russians and Bavarians (all bought and paid for), and probably after the Spanish, Italians, Saxons and Swedes.    
Will the V1's give the Scots success at Flodden? Not so far. I put my trust in the pikes.
Will holiday poems return before the quarter quell and will they still be in iambic pentameter?   I need a rhyme for "Cuirassier"
Will one-sided dice become popular and might they solve the activation problem? It is a profound truth that premature ejaculation is not a male problem, it is a female problem. Similarly, I don't have an activation problem. However, my revised Napoleonic rules are strengthening the role of the order bearing ADC, and the way in which generals/units respond to changed orders. However, Nobby's First Law of Troop Movement states that "if a body is at rest or moving to carry out an order, it will remain at rest or continue to carry out that order unless it is acted upon by a force."

It rhymes with Bombardier (The Canadian aircraft and transportation manufacturer)

It doesn't rhyme with Bombardier (The non-commissioned artillerist's rank).

You know about these, ofcourse? I'm sure Nobby does.

The South African Olifant Main Battle Tank is a further development of the original Cold War-era British Centurion MBT.

I'm used to the pronunciations being Bombard-ee-ay  for the company and Kweer-ass-ee-ay for the cavalryman.

Marshal Ney?

I think you're right about Bombard-ee-ay, Mike (does sound more like it), but definitely not Queer-ass-ee-ay.* 

* I've revised mine and going for Koor-ass-ee-ay which I think this wummin is saying (enter "cuirassier" and click on the loudspeaker icon).

Isn't is odd what gets most discussion on this forum?

Isn't is odd what gets most discussion on this forum?  :-

Perhaps its because this forum has 2321 "odd"  members. ( there are currently 2322 members, but I am not "Odd")  

But I am sure every member would claim this.

As the women of Alaska used to say about finding a male mate,"The odds are good but the goods are odd".

Close enough for Tennyson.

You got a medical note to prove you are not odd !

But don't you think it's odd that you're not odd in a group of odd people?

Doesn't that make you ... odd?
