I,ve just noticed that I am now a Major General, so drinks are on me at the officers club this evening :). Full dress uniform required ;)
Congrats Steve. :-bd
Full dress uniform ?.....Jeans and a sweatshirt then ?
Cheers - Phil
A fine rank for a fine officer, sir! Now say something about a necessary new range.
Well done that man.
Does this mean you've been posted? Unlike my order, that is....
Congrats, Steve.
Had to go find a thread I'd posted in (not difficult!) to see what rank I was.
Apparently I'm now a Brigadier. Assuming that kicks in at 1500 I've been a Brigadier for a week or three, without realising.
So, G&T Major General? Don't mind if I do!

To be fair, "A Bloody War or a Sickly Season" is the RN version and since the ranks here are Army your version is probably more appropriate.
Congrats to you too, I. :)

How many posts to get promoted from a Brigadier?
Is it 2500?
Alas, no.
3000 old bean. Pass the port.
Ah well. Cheers!
Where's the cheese board gone?
Awww...the cat's eaten it!
Has he ?
She, sir.
Well, I move that we DO NOT follow the example what happened to Thomas Hardy's moggy in that case!
http://www.poetsgraves.co.uk/hardy.htm (http://www.poetsgraves.co.uk/hardy.htm) although some sources claim the cat lived to a ripe old age and a pig's heart was buried instead!
Given Hardy's tendency to view the world through fog-tinted spectacles, he'd have preferred the worst-case scenario.
MMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooo.
Well, at least she won't have eaten the walnuts - unless she has jaws like a hyena. :o
Probably scattered them all over the room....

Oh, I thought those were ammunition for this catapult!
That's not a catapult, that's my braces!
Congratulations
I've been playing our itlsu games as a Brigadier but
I'm still a cadet...
Does this mean a possible court martial or is it taken as a temporary acting brevet promotion?
No cats, poets or cheese involved :)
I'd go for brevet if you're giving the Hun or Johnny Turk a damn good thrashing.

Peter certainly helped give the Hun a damn good thrashing in our last game ;)
Shame he was commanding them at the time ;D ;D ;D
Only cause those scwinhund Englander decided to
hide in the woods rather than fight in the open . That. sector
was not under my control either ;)
Ah, but the buck stops at the top.... :D
Congrats, Steve 8)
After the week I've had, mine's a case of Scotch. Knock the top off & close the door on the way out...
