Just an observation ........

Guys & Gals,

I don't want to kick off the colour war again but it seems to me that a significant percentage of the membership have expressed their colour preference by chosing an alternative to the default (i.e. sub-standard) blue star ......

The colour of choice would appear to be

SILVER !

OK, I'll admit it - I'm just bragging cos I've finally got some dosh in my PayPal account and renewed my subs !

I would love to have a burgundy star, but then I'd get mistaken for an admi. Just proves though that burgundy seems to be more important.

lights touch paper and runs for cover

[Predictable Bob]

And just how many admins have buggerdundy Surfs then ?

[BioHazard]

Tony and jotto don't so .........

[POPEYE]

I didn't flash the cash - didn't even expct to get it. Sent extra becausue Jotto saved my life with the gearbox, and if it wasn't for this site it would have cost me a dam sight more than it did. So I sent as much as I could spare at the time.

Private Bio reporting for duty SIR......


No star.........private
blue star ......NCO
Silver star ....Commissioned officers

Then there is the top brass

Mines platinum. I know is hard to tell the difference from the normal silver stars, but if you tap the screen, it definitely sounds like platinum.


p.s. Admins can't afford burgundy trucks!

[Predictable Bob]

Nice theory Mr Bio but .........

I only made SSgt in my 22 years - the only time I got in the Officers Mess was when they wanted a waiter !

Eeeww!! You got in the officer's mess???????

[Predictable Bob]

Just remembered that we used to get invited over at Christmas AND the officers paid for the booze !

Went to the Corps Mess one year and some of us got into a bit of trouble - we managed to get a piano to the front door before they caught us ........
