Drinks all round Guys, looks like I had a promotion from Major General to Lieutenant General 14 posts ago
At least I can stop singing that blasted Gilbert and Sullivan song now. :)
I propose an ad hominem promotion of Orcs to Monarch of the Sea.
Congrats, Mark. :-bd
Congrats!
Nice one Mark!

The usual CdM (not choclate) for me.....
Congratulations Sir. May I polish your medals?
Congratulations!
Though I do feel someone should have derailed the thread by now. :)

As thread derailment specialist.....
Talking of ranks, I have been watching a lot of Star Trek the Next generation (On series 6) and I have noticed that all female officers are referred to by their subordinates as "Sir".
I am sure if this was released today the woke brigade would be up in arms

I'm sure a whole different group would be up in arms if they were addressed as Ma'am.
Some people are just determined to be offended, so they'll always find something.
Never understood why they didn't just address them by rank, tbph.

Ah, my apologies, I mistook you for a man with a sophisticated palate!

"I work for a living!" perhaps?
Capt Janeway insisted on being called "Ma'am"
A +1 for "Monarch of the Sea"
I'll have a beer, IC light please.
Congrats on the promotion!
