Children, children - this is meant to be an amusing thread.
May we use humour not acrimony, and not use the this thread for the settling of old sores. (Scores for those who have Wednesday afternoons off for sport).....

I find it incredible that this bloke doesn't know who's in his division, but vecvec does!
Amazing, without even knowing the offender's name! Which must mean you know all the divisions. Just think of all the things you could have learnt rather than committing the entire FAA to memory.
I'm surprised you had time for any div work!

No the photograph of Vice Admiral Sir Alan Massey KCB CBE ADC Second Sea Lord which has a MOD copyright attached to it. A copyright which you have just infringed. Its all to do with the CPDA - Copyright, Designs and Patents act 1988. Maximum penalty is 6 Months imprisonment.
It may be worth leaving it on the internet for a couple of weeks to see what happens.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
If I looked that old I would have retired.
I have retired and I don't look that old

I think it's a mythical beast famed for slowness of thought and lack of capacity. Some historians believe the true meaning has been lost, however:-
A quick google shows that a 'fishes head' can only work up to a Vne of 8 kts and does everything on a repetitive 6 minute cycle.
The collective noun is, apparently, 'Low Capacity All Stars'.
You might also observe many 'fishes heads' completing simple tasks as a team, for example, a change of direction requiring three people and four orders/ responses.
These animals went unnoticed for centuries until their 'condition' was uncovered by modes of transport that overtook their speed of thought.
After Victorian times the 'es' was dropped in favour of the (then) more fashionable hyphen.
Latterly the two words have become melded into 'Fishhead', or even 'fish'ed'. Apparently the social stigma is still fairly damning, and they walk in a peculiar manner.
When cornered they can be dangerous, but a brief exposure to wit will render them harmless.
Glad to help.

The picture came from google images - the one of the esteemed and highly qualified Admiral that is.
Actually the fish came from there as well..............
I trust that you will collate the collection of food parcels, (sponge cake with file embedded etc.) for my forthcoming incarceration.
PS - no fish please.

With ref to the proposed fishes' head emblem/badge/whatever for the skimmers.
Will it be a real head, or a representation of one? If the former, won't it smell?
On second thoughts, it won't matter if it does. They all smell anyway

and his wife Julie live with their children, James (1988),
As for copyright - that DID surprise me, I wouldn't have thought the MOD would have put that photo out, not with him having a fish head stuck out of his t*t, like...just goes to show what a crazy bunch those RN PR types must be, eh? If you get banged up for it let me know, I'll send you a cake with a file in - Tuna flavoured swiss roll okay?
(Edited for splelinge, though really it's for typing too fast, us siggies can do that ya know...)
Just somehow it does not look right - Bast0n
Well of course not, because it is looking left, and you, David, are a very naughty boy!
What do we think chaps.............? - Bast0n -
We think that this one somehow looks right .....
Jack
PS "He is also a qualified secondary-level schoolteacher" and has four children - Well, no wonder he looks so completely knackered, that and having to consider hare-brained issues - not awards! - such as this alleged new badge!

James (1988) would make him 22 I think....
Yes, I'm also surprised that the MOD issued a photograph of the Second Sea Lord with a fish protruding from his heart... But if they did then I apologise. Maybe I ought to divert my wrath towards the MOD Press office for allowing a doctored photograph to be published.
