Ken ( from Wigan, the one with the hair ;) ) reached that level yonks ago and asked D63 ( also from nr Wigan ) to reduce them by a couple of thousand ... said he couldn't stand the shame or the ridicule by those ( not from Wigan )who would be jealous of him.

At least his were earned on issues relating to Wigan plus Cruising Topics :lol:

I think you'll find that Patience lost her virtue some time ago David, Rumour has it that "The dark One" was responsible.

I have heard a rumour that your seniority will big signified by emblems akin to the flags used to signify rank in the 'Grey Funnel Line'.


That is:

A Rear Admiral has two balls,
A Vice Admiral has one ball,
and
an Admiral of the Fleet has no balls at all (!)
