An SWer is giving me grief about being disrespectful to King Chaz as a ex military person. So let’s be clear:

I didnt join the RAF because I get a chub on thinking of queen and country, I did it because it gave me an engineering career inaccessible to me on civvie street.

And why the RAF? Well for one - in the army everyone gets shot at, in the navy if the boat sinks everyone dies, but in the airforce only the officers and aircrew get shot at - I have two service medals for conflict zones, Op Telic and Op Shader, and the closest I came to combat was falling off a cliff on a donkey, and getting into a scrap with a yank who tried to confiscate our beer.

While I enjoyed my time serving, made many good friends and had loads of experiences so awesome that being a civilian feels totally shit, I doesn’t mean I give a tart’s furry cup about what goes on in Buckingham palace - because I’m sure as shit they’ve never given me or anyone I know a single thought. And I don’t see a problem with that.

That is all. Resume your social medianess.
