Some people in the US thinking we (the UK) are celebrating Biden becoming president, by letting off fireworks… Not knowing that its about Guy Fawkes. (I know it’s on the 5th, but it seems to have spread to a whole week/month for fireworks where I’m from…)
Normally the 5th but also a lot more at the weekend before/after. Seems to have been a lot more smaller displays this year as the big displays were cancelled so lots of people letting them off in their garden rather than going to a display I guess!
Watching the Cenotaph service this morning.
3 year old: Look at those pirates!
Me: Those aren’t pirates, they’re the Chelsea Pensioners

Technically could be correct. Traditional definitions of “military” (adjectives) would not include airmen and sailors, as it would pertain to Soldiers.

Great for working the security desk at Tesco though…
If his badge is that of a doctor, his shoes are pretty d@mn shiny though. 
Probs painted… We all know what you pesky officers are like
Because of the colours on the naval tunic (the pocket), I’m thinking it’s been put through a few filters, rather than being actually faint.
Ahem, even ending up as a member of the double-winged master race, my No 2 shoes were always bulled (just under 20 yrs in the mob!). My No 1’s were even better all over - as an instructor at Cranditz, I had 2 pairs of Oxfords modified - 2 extra layers on the soles (better for waterproofing & warmth in winter), & horse shoe heels!! They were , of course, beeswaxed & always as good (if not better) than those of the DIs.

Top man! An undercover SWO by the sounds of it!
I don’t think I could ever match the College Warrant Officer!
We used to do “exchange” room inspections so that cadets got an independent second / third check of standards (no chance of favouritism). I was checking over one cadet (from another flight) & it was very clear that he was “cruising” - just doing the bare minimum to get through things. I challenged him - apparently this has been commented on before - so I told him that the insteps of my shoes would be shinier than his toecaps. You could see the “not a hope in hell” thought drifting through his brain.
He lost…
