I'll make another proper post at some point, I'm just determined that this blog won't become a dumping spot for my every little whine and niggle.
In the meantime...
"Moustache Heroes No. 29:
RAF Flight Lieutenant Chris Ball sports a handlebar moustache as popularised by generations of British airmen. In 2008 he was posted to a United States Air Force squadron in Afghanistan who promptly told him to trim his splendid plumage. Ft Lt Ball refused, insisting that his tache, which measured six inches from tip to tip, was within Queen's Regulations. After a check of the rule book and a 'frank exchange of views' his lip appendage was left firmly intact. An MOD spokesman said; 'Local commanding officers should not issue instructions to officers which cannot be fulfilled by reasons of difference in dress regulations.' 'Attire, facial hair and discipline would always follow RAF rules.' Quite right too."
Bizarre, as far as chewing gum goes, if nothing else.
It seems I have failed to guard against this blog becoming a depository for passing whimsy. Never mind.
