Just Called Ben Wallace

[Bahnhof Strasse]

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?

Perhaps kebabking may be able to shed some light on this sorry saga?

Sadly, moral cowardice prevents me from publicly commenting on the wisdom of my masters...

(I don't actually know about the substantive issue, it's not really my bag, and my desire to avoid a retaliatory posting to SO1 Bogroll and Paperclips - or indeed to the AJAX programme team - keeps me from looking at the guidance....)

Everytime I see that spanner posting, it makes me think that a certain Bristol crusty ska band should send them a cease and desist letter.

When I was in the army someone put the wrong order qty (bag, box, pallet) down and a 40 tonne truck turned up packed with bog rolls.

Regardless of whether he's entitled to wear the medal it does strike me as being a pretty shit medal in the scheme of things. Coincidentally happening to still be serving when the diamond jubilee occurred does not strike me as a huge honour bestowed. Action and valour it is not. Not saying its a worthless thing or anything just an odd choice for strutting around in nearly a decade later.

Maybe he could stick some oak leaves on it to jazz it up a bit.

It seems to be a thing - lots of people who did full careers in the 70/80/90's have got one or two gongs, purely because of what was/wasn't happening, have felt the need to jazz up their racks because they see young kids with a chestful of tin purely because they happened to be serving when aggressive camping holidays in the sun were in vogue.

Its sad really, that they feel less valued.

Slap ‘yersel’ on the back for such canny social awareness. I think I could have recovered from your barrels though, they seem ... tame. Really tame.

I’m not threatening you, I’m inviting you to a duel. You need to keep reading cos you asked when and where but I’ve already told you the location and time.

 

[elbows]

The medals things led to me ending up reading a fucking Daily Mail article from February 2020. Do I get a medal for surviving such an ordeal?

The Mail on Sunday has established, however, that he is entitled to wear it through his association with the Royal Company of Archers (RCA), a little-known ceremonial society whose members are largely drawn from Scotland’s nobility.

he RCA was formed in 1676 and has 500 largely elderly members who carry longbows and dress in feathered caps and gold embroidered tunics at ceremonial events.

They werent kidding about the feathers.
