...get a grip

Who says the "One" callsign is limited to CinC or HoS? (Ho's... hehe... ) Just because the yanks do it that way?

Who says the GG is Australia's CinC? I didn't even know we HAD a designated CinC.

Folks, what you see here is the tall poppy syndrome at work. The PM rides around in the front seat of his LTD or whatever it is for precisely that reason. Or else you'd have the crowds saying, "Look at Little Johnny, sitting in the back seat like he's in a taxi, who does he think he is, the PM??? The poor driver being humiliated like that..."

Well it IS a taxi and he IS the PM. Who else should be up for "Aussie 1" status then, Dame Edna? Or some sporting hero maybe. Ray Martin....

If that's the major weight on your chest I seriously think you need to see someone.

Is this the most churlish thread ever?
