We used to take away the A's from the OD's epaulettes. ;)

We have friends and family in Alberta who at the moment, are praying that they can stay put for a while longer as the house prices for them, have gone up from approx 210K to over 700K.  They know if they ever leave Alberta that if they are posted/transferred back they will never be able to...

I'm with you Des, I also like polishing brasses and silver.  Hubs and the kid can always tell when I'm all stressed out, I'm polishing the brass or shining boots.  Mind you, have you ever had your 18 month old crawl up to your shoes/boots and reach for the toe cap and dig their sharp little...

Lord, I just had a flashback to Sunday Lunch with my grandfather...(I'm sure my kid is muttering under her breath right now, being reminded of our Sunday Lunches as well... LOL)

I've seen a lot of two-headed eagles used in Russian coat of arms (The Tsar's personal coat of arms for one) , and also on the Albanian flag.  Lore has it that the two heads are representative of the divide between the Christian and Orthodox churches. Although, Michael VIII Paleologue adopted...

You're not alone Fred, I find polishing boots/shoes to be a great stress buster. And I've had years of practice doing them.  When I was a kid, my dad for a punishment, would send us all off to spit and polish all the shoes and boots in the house.  It was the only time growing up that my brothers...

I still like these PJs the best...

+1 George! To add to your comments, if one can not afford a blazer or crest, there is always the Regimental, Branch or Mil Col tie that can be worn.  I most often wear collar and tie to functions and it's the tie that generates the most conversation, questions or identifying other members. ...

Most Cdn cities are now passing health by-laws that require barbers to use straight razors with disposable blades.  Hub says that getting a shave with a straight blade with a disposable isn't quite the same as getting one with a regular blade. (if you can even find a barber nowadays that will...

CS: check the wanted posters at the post office... ;D That might give you a clue.  On May 4, 2006 I was where I am on every May 4 at midnight until sunrise, keeping vigil for the lives lost on HMS Sheffield. 

Hmm... guess that's why it's called "foolscap" folio paper.  (even comes with lines so you can print/write neatly) ;D

We've got Hot Fuzz on our list to see. 

Bring them down here, I love doing boots!

Do you mean Esperanto or Ido?

Flames of War rocks! I just got a copy of the UK rules.  I'm hoping to see a few tourneys in the UK when I'm over there. There is a tourney on in Hamilton on May 5th at the Ramada.  http://www.battlefront.co.nz/Article.asp?ArticleID=1371

Just a little tidbit, a group in BC called Lawyers Against the War attempted in 2004 to petition the International courts to have President George Bush charged with war crimes.  They failed miserably. This latest attempt is striking me as a copy cat to something that has already been done. ...

Ok, so yet another journalist is attempting to have their name put up for a Pulitzer for investigative journalism...(didn't realize that there was a particular category for "journalists that find those amazing hidden and secret sources"). Along with the rest of this journalist's peers are those...

Oh gee look, a bystander with nothing to contribute to the topic... isn't there already a party for you to belong to? The NDP? As for the appraiser, for CF members IRP is pretty much set on their use and require the member to have their home appraised prior to listing.  But as you suggest, the...

We'll keep him and the others in our prayers and thoughts especially that the trip is successful and the harnesses work for him. 

And of course, the OP forgot the bunnies...
