Good point, Archimedes - I hang my head in shame, having corrected someone at breakfast for making exactly the same mistake! Really, the pongos should know better than to employ two officers in close proximity who share the same christian name. If it can confuse an RAF officer, imagine what it must be like for the squaddies...

We also discussed Burridge at breakfast. I'm sure he would be in the frame if it wasn't for his... err... transgressions, especially given the record of the last light blue-wearing CDS. All the same, he defended himself well, declaring that thanks to AP1 he was entitled to a private life... I wouldn't write him off just yet.

Sir Glenn Torpy - now, there's someone we didn't think of! As CJO he definitely has the command experience required for the highest office in the Service. But isn't he still only an Air Marshal? Maybe he'll get it next time round.
