Hi Guys
I am planning the groups Xmas get together for this year and I think we are due for a game of Pig Tickler. (It's a game from Eureka's Pax Limpopo world)
I was hoping the more imaginative of you could suggest some fake but plausible names for two British Unicycle Lancer regiments (nothing too rude obviously as we are gentlemen first, officers second). One wears Pith Helmets the other Czapka. I am going to use the names on Mess invitations to invitees. I will get regimental badges designed by someone on Fiverr.
Thanks in advance
Simon
51st Foot in Mouth
2nd Kings Tight Lancers
17th Queen's Owned (Dearth of Glory) Hussars
82nd Signals (Carrier Pigeons)
26th Undistinguished.
The 1st Bicycle Lancer Imperial Mounted Police Squadron (aka The BLIMPS!)
The Rapid Operations (Bicycle) Independent Naval Squadron (aka The ROBINS)
The 4th Unicycle Naval Contingent (Lance Equipped) (aka UNCLE)
The Slavic Peoples Experimental Cycle Training & Recruitment Establishment (aka SPECTRE)

Then there's the RN unit named after a famous sailor that used only one type of bike, and were famous for their ability to stand together - the "Raleigh Raleigh Rally"
Then there's got to be the Victoria's favourite Royal Auxiliary Corps Establishment - "Queen's No1 - Bicycle RACE"

If only somebody would! ;)
Aside from Billionaires, I take it?
My best effort at this late hour:
Yorkshire Yunicycle Yeomanry (East Riding).
Many better suggestions than that above. I like Ithoriel's BLIMPS.

Hit that man, somebody. Unnecessary levels of force will be overlooked.

No such thing as unnecessary level.

-The 2nd Warwickshire Volunteer Wheels
-The Queen's Own Semimechanized Assault Group
-The Most Magnificent Hornets of the Ground
-The 4th Wales Unilancerrs
-The 17th Regiment, Cycling (Re. Cycling)
-Wheel Trouble?
