I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

And of course I misread BEagles post about the 25 yr qual for the jelly bean.

Saw the tailor today with a medal cabinet so that you could select your CDM etc for your mess kit.

What did you have to do to get the Sierra Leone medal?

Why didn't I get a Tarshine Beach medal for braving the Aden sun for a week? The risks we took try to get a pair of flip flops for less than 2/6. 2/3 was an absolute bargain.

Then of course I should have qualified for the Polar Medal (Newfie clasp and Darwin star) for walking the length of Goose Bay airfield, at night, in a lounge suit, with snow on the ground.

Almost forgot I also qualified for the Malta medal (Gut).
