Why are we not bombing the fuck out of this lot with the yanks? I can understand why the Commons voted against not to get involved with the Syria thing. But this is different. If anyone needs blasting to fuck it's these cunts.

An ex-manager of mine when I worked at Grace Brothers insisted on being referred to by his old military rank.

Which was?

 

I think there's a protocol where if you attain a rank above (I think) Captain then you can use that as a title on civvy street.

I guess it gives you some clout in society. Maybe allows you to push in at taking your turn at being Club Captain at the local golf club.

I will settle this - you are allowed to use your former rank ahead of your name if you reached Major or above. Any ex Captain who does so is an arse - and I have known several. Although I reached the rank of Field Marshal in my eight years of service I choose not to to use it today, preferring to pretend that I was just another NCO.
