What Army is this guy in

[bugged on the right]

Come on pr00ne, the reason there are lots of black footballers playing for England is that they are bloody good footballers, not because they are black.

It’s a hairstyle for goodness sake!

And that from someone who once wrote (as a reason for leaving):

I got a bit fed up of living in an organisation that [...]wouldn’t let me grow my hair long (it was the mid 70’s after all!) [...]

Yes. I have a grandson with many Young Lions caps at each age bracket. The team photos [including bench] usually include one other whitey. Its no big deal, We have come a long way from Cyril Regis and Basil D'Oliviera.
However, there can be no analogy with an armed service, although the tackles can be a bit fierce.

This could be the reason why, with the passing of each day, I view the prospect of death with greater equanimity.

You don’t play for England from off the street - you already play for a top flight club!

If that “just a haircut” is within the uniform rules then why bother with uniform rules?

Why bother with uniform?

Just wear what you want to work, so you have the freedom to express your own individuality/personality...

Please don't even suggest it. We may have a new CAS, but there are those that still think the previous Wokemeister was on the right track with the uniform debacle.

You're obviously entitled to an opinion, I also think it looks ridiculous, but to call someone an arsehole for following dress regulations is pathetic. If you don't agree with the current policy then challenge it through your CoC.

"Dres regulations?"

Eh????

The fat git's clearly way out of fitness regs and as for hairstyle! What on earth have you been smoking?
He's pretty obviously a fat-knacker Walt in a dentist's surgery.
And as much to do with the ralRAF as a Civil War re-enacter has to do with Cromwell's New Model Army.


or ... is there some gag running here that I'm not aware of?

You're obviously not aware of current acceptable hair standards or the fact that you can pass the MSFT whilst being overweight. I gave up smoking years ago, this bloke is in the RAF, I don't agree with the current regulations but I don't blame people for taking advantage of them, if I wasn't bald and grey I'd do something similar and have a big luxuriant beard just to annoy people like you.
