When did I become a General?!?

A former 1st Sea Lord was on Radio 4 (I can't find which one).  He was rather chuffed to find that the Japanese translated his title on a visit to "Shogun of the Sea".

He said that the Chief of the General Staff moaned that 1st Sea Lord is such a good title, and better than his.  The Admiral pointed out that "You could hardly be called the 1st Landlord..."

Good to see a senior officer with his sense of humour intact

Many thanks
Now I am a Brigadier I shall most certainly have to strive to be further up the chain of command by talking bollox at the earliest opprotunity

[Hertsblue]

What exactly are you suggesting, Maenoferran?

Lt. Gen. Hertzblau von Helzapoppin.

[Maenoferren]

Permission to speak freely sir?

[Hertsblue]

I suspect you're going to anyway.

Congrats to those promotions I've missed !
Cheers - Phil

[Maenoferren]

I suspect you're going to anyway. 

Was that a yes or a no?
The one thing my father, the general, always said..."Get it down in writing my boy, get it down in writing." On and why have you been sent all of these white feathers?"

[Hertsblue]

It was all a mistake I tell you. A Wyandotte chicken just happened to wander into a revolving fan. Feathers everywhere.

Strangely enough that was my excuse too

Just noticed.....I've reached the exalted rank of General, as well.

Cheers - Phil.

Wait for the revolution comrades, you won't like it when the Stalinist clear out starts...
