Title: Leon's Promotion
Post by: Hertsblue on 12 August 2012, 10:13:28 AM
Anyone notice that Leon's hit full General - presumably on 7,000 posts? Which means he'll probably get Field Marshal at about 10,000.

What happens when he's been an FM for a while, does he revert to cadet and start all over again? Or do we switch to naval ranks? @-)

No, he retires then is wheeled onto BBC Breakfast to give his opinion on wargames.

But Field Marshals never retire.

And what is this BBC Breakfast of which you speak? There's no such time of day, is there?  I-) (:| (:|

In fact Nik is only a Major General because the programme can't handle the title Lord God Pope Marshall of the Universe.

With out the Totty thread he would be a Lance Corporal.

Isn't grating mines a rather dangerous occupation for stewards?    Or is it "yours" that you are asking to be grated Lemmey (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)?

In that case Leon might have just boobed by moving.  :o

unless of course he actually cleared the attic himself.

I see sprogs as sort of hairy and sullen, carrying a primitive club with a few nails sticking out of it. The tribe would have a few specialists, of course, like the treasurer (the Spending Sprog), the clan Casanova (the many-sproggled thing), the EU representative (the Brussels sprog), the scapegoat (give a sprog a bad name and hang him), etc.
Either that, or they're greasy and gritty shock-absorbers about the track of the PzKpw mk. VII (Anglicised from Sprogchen, which should have an umlaut that I know not how to type here). Also in colloquial Bavarian, as in "i' bin ganz gesproggen, Hauptmann!".
I'm gibbering. Stop reading this post.

They certainly appear to be popular, there's loads of 'em about. 

Perhaps not as popular as the sort of 'design work' needed to produce a sprog...
