If you all wish to adjourn to the bar I'll stand a round of Creme d Menthe and Egg Nog cocktails to all 

Huzzah!

Mine is a big one! (photo available)

Indeed Huzzah! General.

As a general note (no pun intended) we do seem to have a preponderance of brass. I have a few suggestions to mitigate this imbalance.

1) Nobody can get promoted until there is a vacancy - for example should a gentleman resign on the grounds of incapacity, a bad run at the card table, a scandal involving the parlour maid or bulk buying 15mm.
2) Those starting as cadet now would need to post far more that the current paltry requirements
3) Those seeking promotion should be vetted by senior members, say Generals and above. This would be a good time for Leon to get his black and white balls out, so we can all have a go.
4) The Techno II option. Gentlemen would voluntarily restart from the beginning, with their number of posts being reset to 0. This selfish act would need to be recognised with an award of some kind, perhaps a virtual medal.*    





*Of course, I'd be the first to sign up for this option, except I've had the cards printed now, and ... er ... I wouldn't want to be thought of as medal chasing.

@MMCV:  Bad luck, Sir.


Stay warm!

Alternatively, as this is a Gentlefolk's club, for Gentlefolk, we should just bust you back down to Lance Corporal.

I'll have you know that in Runcorn I'm considered quite the nob!

Hi

I'm not sure the corporal's mess would be prepared to let him in.
