Just Called Ben Wallace

[Pickman's model]

being in army is a bit a of a weird flex,

what the entry requirements, being dumb enough to sign up

Spanner's problem is they see every problem as a nail but they're not a hammer

 

[Spanner]

My answer included a question. Many sentences do that. I’m not prepared to teach you basic English syntax, but maybe someone else here can.

It's got fuck all to do with syntax.

Fuck off.
And after that..
Fuck off again.
You're a nasty piece of work. You've done nothing but prove so since you joined.
So fuck off. Whoever you are.

Yeah I know. People who disagree with you are a PITA.

Yeah I know. People who disagree with you are a PITA.

Your parents must have kicked themselves every time they looked at you and wondered again why they'd missed the chance of an abortion.

 

[krtek a houby]

Yeah I know. People who disagree with you are a PITA.

Who are you and why are you here?

You seem to scorn and dislike this community.

 

[Orang Utan]

I would like to fight you, Spanner . Would you like a fight?

 

[tommers]

This is a pretty surreal start to a Wednesday.

 

[JimW]

I would like to fight you, Spanner . Would you like a fight?

Careful, he's tooled up.

Sayonara Wallace

Is that one of the ranks they confer on you at Heer-Fudd after passing selection?

 

[Doodler]

I would like to fight you, Spanner . Would you like a fight?

You do realise you'll be up against the fighting techniques taught to him from a young age by his father, inventor of Krav Maga and Ecky Thump?

I suppose it took years for spanner to work out counters to the various techniques their father used as he leaped kato-like from wardrobes or under beds

Yeah but OA has the long reach, my money would be on the big orange hero

 

[MickiQ]

According to his wikipedia page he was in the Army for 7 years from 1991 to 1998 so he probably is entitled to wear the medal if the qualifying service is 5 years. Why did you call him? Is he your MP or is just because he's got a smug face?

 

[Badgers]

Have you been in the army then, Badgers?

Did not realise this clueless cunt was even posting

Let's meet up and discuss my military background shall we?

Because he's a cunt no doubt and needs to be called out

at least five years’ continuous service until at least February 6, 2012

I read that as your service had to reach 06 Feb 2012, not come before it?

 

[MickiQ]

Well yeah can' t argue with that

From the gov.uk website

 

[MickiQ]

You're right, I read it as 5 years service before Feb 2012 but the rules (which took a bit of searching) say

The Diamond Jubilee Medal was awarded to personnel to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II accession.


To apply for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, you must have:

• been in effective service on 6 February 2012 and
• completed a minimum of 5 years’ reckonable service and were enlisted on or before 7 February 2007 and
• served with the regular, reserve or cadet forces.

It definitely says on and not before so he isn't entitled to wear it as a result of his Army service. It was awarded to others like plod and emergency service workers but he's been an MP since 2005 so it looks like he isn't entitled to wear it.
Tory MP claiming something he isn't entitled too, who'd have thought that eh?

 

[Badgers]

Shocked...

 

[brogdale]

Not having a go Badgers but this is where the fuckers have got us; arguing over their fucking made up medals.

 

[Orang Utan]

Careful, he's tooled up.

So am I

He’s only the size of a spanner though. I could flick him over with my little finger

Scrap! Scrap!

Metal! Metal!

 

[Athos]

It'd be pretty brazen for someone so high-profile to wear a medal to which they're not entitled. So I'm wondering whether there's some loophole that means he can technically wear it. Maybe by virtue of being a compulsary reservist?

Diplomatically put.

yeh i didn't want to give Spanner both barrels
