He could of course go to his local town hall, present himself to the returning officer with his deposit and stand as an indepenant candidiate for election at the next general election. (You can't be a member of the Armed forces whilst standing for election)
If, perish the thought, the constituents actually elect him he can then lobby for bumper pay rises for the Armed Forces

An Teallach, our friend is clearly not a round-eyed ginge. He is clearly an inscrutable oriental as he has not the faintest idea of the British class structure. Anyone properly brought up would realised that "Thank you m'lud" or "Thankee Master" is far more working-class than "Thank you Danny".
"Thank you Danny" is quite the reverse of what our inscrutable scrote has implied.
We shall see what transpires.
I see our oriental fiend has slipped one in. Now I was indeed on the triangle at primary school. I wanted the cymbals but they insisted on the triangle. Then later their airships decided that triangles were indeed the thing for me and I spent many years on the triangles.

Lomon, I believe that trick no longer works. If you get elected then I believe that lets you out. As a member of the reserve however I don't think it applies at all , remember Mark Lancaster.

I didn't mention this earlier as I did not wish to overload you but I must say your reference to the pillory is most unkind. I would not dream of saying that about Pontius Navigator but I must tell you I'd be in favour of him spending some time on a triangle.
I think you must have really pi§§ed him off with that quote of yours !!

Why don’t you hook up the original subject of this thread (det dodgeing walt) with our new best friend (a
idiot )? That way, they keep each other happy and out of our lives.

Is it just me, or does anyone else agree, judging by the content of his posts, that JL may be rather over-fond of mind-altering substances? Leave them alone James, in the end they'll damage your brain. Hmm....

I do believe

that this would not be sudden.

"skinning up" in the drill hall for example.
do tell this ignorant person what this is.

I believe "skinning up" is what a chap does when he crumbles his cannabis or hashish resin into a lengthy cigarette paper lined with the finest Virginia tobacco. The Middle Eastern types have some sort of pipe arrangement, perhaps this practice could be adopted to blend in, like the beards and whatnots. I have also heard of something called a "roach" and I imagine this to be some sort of insect with hallucinogenic properties that is similarly smoked.
Another thought occurred to me: why doesn't this white feather collector* apply for discharge on the premise he is joining the regular Armed Forces. He could then simply fail to complete the basic training for whatever reason. Of course, there is a chance that he might end up in direst danger anyway, finding that his cowardly attempts to avoid combat lead to inadvertent and unintentional acts of heroism. Is there a book in that?
(*note: as an avowed Bliar war-dodger, I am aware that this is the equivalent of a pot of urine calling a daffodill "yellow".)

Jess, I congratulate you on the breadth of your knowledge an dthe depth of your research . Me, I didn't even know that our local war memorial was a favourite with very friendly young ladies 16 and under.
You weren't paying attention. He was rejected by the Rocks already.

Had you considered getting a few Service mates round and laughing like drains at his discomfort? While its not much help either way you may all enjoy the occasion...

ZH, thanks for that. Thought I was going totally nuts for a minute.
JL dear thing; I feel not in the least concerned about your postings. Why? - cos I ain't got a Scooby what you are on about. I can't take anythng you say either seriously or with derision because I just don't understand you. Simple lad, me.

Boringly back on topice for a second....
PN
With apologies for returning to the topic, if the papers have dropped through the door, yer "man" is going to be mobilised - normally with four weeks notice in my RAuxAF unit at the moment. AFAIK, if his company were to appeal it, this appeal would occur concurrently with his induction to service and as these things can drag on, he may well find himself out in the land of sand whilst this process continues.
As has been said before - don't join the reserves today unless you fancy going OOA; in time, you will. (And quite probably, more than once.)

Whilst it is true that call-out notices delivered to an individual's address are deemed to have been served, as far as the MoD is concerned, to bring any successful prosecution it is necessary to confirm that the papers were delivered to the person in question. Hence they should be sent by recorded delivery and the signature of the recipient confirmed as being that of the reservist being called-out.
If Walt is away back-packing around Utter Magnolia or wherever (unlikely in this case if the streak of yellow p*ss in question is as wet as you describe, PN), the fact that Mummy signs for his call-out notice cannot reasonably be considered as meaning that he has been served with his call-out notice.
Walt's only safe avenue (unless he fails the medical or has an employment exemption) is to respond lawfully, then declare that he has a conscientious objection to Bliar's adventurismin Iraqhistan.
Joining the TA to defend one's country is one thing; being called out to one of Bliar's overseas campaigns is surely another. However, if Walt joined the TA after the 2003 invasion of Iraq when wide-scale call-outs began, then he can't really have any excuse of conscientious objection as he clearly must have known what he was letting himself in for.

Thanks for all the enterainment and also the good advice. I shall watch with interest what unfolds as he and his family are not known for listening to good advice from people who might know and would prefer going to people that don't know.
I'll let you know if it turns out that it was not just a Walt ploy.

I just keep getting visions of that guy from 'The Office'..........
... but have you seen his website??
"He could always put his pants on his head, a couple of pencils up his nose and say "wibble" "
Wouldn't that be more likely to get him promoted?
Baaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!!

Jim (hope you'r not Thai as it has an indelicate meaning there),
The quote would indeed be true if PN could be described as
Comrades do indeed have a visceral attatchment to their masters.
I think reading of PN's previous life that the only dealings he may have had with any comrades would have been to bring a little ray of sun shine into their lives (I lie, actually bucket loads of it). But he never got the opportunity.
the visceral attachment of a dog to his master
