His Toniness, President Blair, Duke of Islington with Hazzard, on a visit to Forces families in October 2015 promises that at least 10% of the forces will get leave by Christmas. When pressed, he accepts that he does not know which Christmas.

The USA announce that the Average IQ of Washington DC has doubled.







They also sadly announce the death of George Dubya Bush.

In 2015, Prince Charles has finally been celebrated as a visionary following the assassination of El Commandante Blair.

It took many years of secretive planning, training and eventual execution. However, sending his own sons into the Army to learn the vital skills was the first step towards a formidable team reaching their goal. Harry and William slotted the puppet dictator with the military precision of an earlier time. They then put the monarchy back in power, gave the rest of the services a pay rise and an extra 4 days of stand down. Hurrah!

President Campbell declares that Elizabeth Windsor and her corrupt, disfunctional family will remain in exile in Stornoway for the foreseeable future - crowds rejoice at that news.

2015

Following Medium Term Work Strands(3), and in recognition of nearly 100 years of folly, the Secretary of State announced the disbandment of the Royal Air Force and the reformation of the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service.

He explained that the Royal Flying Corps would be responsible for Air Transport, Air Surveillance and UAVs, whilst the RNAS would be responsible for all Attack, Interdiction and Rotary Wing Forces.

When asked his reasoning for such a sensible move the Secretary of State stated that as all deployed operations would be initiated from the 3 CVFs and Amphibious platforms (due to the total lack of host nation support in the current areas of interest) it seemed sensible to allocate tactical aircraft to the RN.

On such a sensible and enlightening topic I find Bismark's last post just one step too far into the realms of fantasy!! 3 CVFs?!?! Anyone think that his Holiness King of Europe Tony Bliar would ever allow us to get 3?? One maybe!!

His Almighty Holiness Lord Tony of Crony and Lady Crony, this morning departed London onboard the Royal Navy's last operational ship, HMS Mon Cherie. The pair are off on a goodwill tour of the USA, to include a formal banquet with their old mucker, His Holiness George Sir Dubya Bush. Amongst other topics on a busy agenda the pair will discuss their latest initiative for a joint UK/USA battlefield supremacy system - Future Universal Combat Kinesis Weapons Integrated Transport System, or Project F*CKWITS

Afghanistan

MoD concludes deal with local supplier to provide a reliable, accurate and robust replacement for the SA80.

Sources suggest that the troops are delighted with the AfghaniIndustrie re-manufactured and zero-timed Lee Enfield mk4's.

One particular soldier was reported as saying that it was nice to have a bit of kit that worked for a change..............



AfghaniIndustrie are reported to be working on an enhanced version with greater stopping power based on a Martini-Henry .577. Whitehall is said to be interested..........

RAFTM leases back its own name from KIDZFORENTERTAINMENT.COM for £1. (Plus £999.99 for every time it is used on paperwork, per sortie on which it is emblazened on an aircraft or implied or each time it is worn on a hat)

Roundel replaced with Royal Mail's cast off "Insignia" Logo.

Every squadron (well - both squadrons - Transport Sqn and Fast Air Sqn) has a symposium every Friday evening on why moral is so low.

AAC sell off last few Chinooks, Pumas and Merlins to pay for fuel for the 3 remaining Apaches that have not yet crashed.

Prisons overcrowd even further after Governments new "Wiping 4r5e with incorrect hand" law comes into force.

Wife still won't go down on her best mate while I watch.....

Times Headline - Sentinel To Be Given Lifeline

The Lord President Sir Antony Blair, King of England, has today announced the re-roling of the remaining 3 Sentinel R Mk1s, currently still located in 3 Hangar at the Army Barracks Waddington, to his Royal Flight to add to his intial Blairforce One, the already re-roled Sentinel (Circa 2006) that he and his official aides (All retired Airforce Officers belonging to the Former association of the "We'll do Whatever you say, Sir" Knights of the Dodgy Round Masonry Table). The fifth aircraft procured by the mighty Bristol DPA, Head Agency of the King's Own Proud "We Made Britain Great" Society (defunct since the Major Devolution Scurmish of 2010). Apparently, England's prosperous neighbours Great Celtsland, who benefited much from England's major withdrawal from Great Britain, by ensuring major compensation from what have been known as "The Devolution Divorce Proceedings" of 2010. Mrs Cherie Blair, CEO of Blairs Magical Law Firm, the handling lawyers for Wales, Scotland and Ireland, is said to be in line to receive one of the aircraft as a gift from King Tony, some say as a bribe to stop Celtsland from placing a major takeover bid for control of England's major income source - Cornwall. The only thing standing in the way of this gift is that, apparently, the CEO of the Great Bristol DPA, is said to be struggling to make the choice on the colour of the carpets in the cabin. Having set up an IPT to manage the solution, headed by former franchise Entrepenuer, Joe Boggs of Elite Fish and Chips, Skegness, the IPT are set to win this years "ingenuity awards" for suggesting that, despite the prescence of a Jaccussi in the rear of the cabin, Marble floor tiles would definately be the way ahead. Meanwhile, King Tony's Son is to set a date for marriage to Princess Britnee Bush, erstwhile niece of Lord GW, 1st Lord of the Ruling Sith Dynasty, thus presenting England with, what some see, as a final chance of becoming the 51st State of the USA, at long last..............

Royal Navy's last operational ship, HMS Mon Cherie
Would that be the same ship that was originally named HMS Darling ?
