No - please don't lock it O Mods!

Of course it has "thread-drifted" as many threads do; just like conversations do in the crewroom chat ofd which this virtual crewroom/virtual bar provides an example.

I can just see the "real conversation".

"Did you see that the new OC X Sqn is a girlie*?"

"Good on her - at least she's got some campaign medals - unlike OC Y Sqn"

"Yes, but you can be a "war fighter" without being in theatre."

"Speaking of medals ......."

"Sorry, I can't let you talk about medals when we're talking about a girlie* Sqn Cdr!!"

I somehow don't think so!!! Not unless the last speaker wanted to wear his pint/and or exit bar via window rather than door.

*no offence/patronising intended, just replicating the way it WOULD be spoken about in a crewroom or bar.
