BEEN DOING A BIT OF SURFING INFO ON SNOTTY,GUESS WOT,HE HAS A FOREIGN AWARD,ITS A REAL MOUTHFUL,BUT ITS THE 'SASKATCHEWAN DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD',THE ACRONYM FOR WHICH IS SDSA,WHICH REMINDS ONE OF UNCLE ADOLPH IN THE 30's.ANY WAY THIS AWARD IS MADE FOR' SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE WELL BEING OF THE PROVINCE AND ITS PEOPLE'S', I'M PRETTY SURE I'VE READ SOMETHING SIMILAR ON THE PJM PRESENTATION CASE,ONLY DIFFERENCE IS SNOTTY HAS A S.D.S.A. AND HAS DONE HIS DAMNDEST TO STOP US WEARING OUR PJM AS ONE OF THE UNELECTED QUANGO ADVISING H.M. YOU KNOW HE SOUNDS REMARKABLY LIKE A GONG CHASING VETERAN, DOES CANADA HAVE A MONARCH? OH I ITS THE SAME ONE HE ADVISES THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN CALLED ON THE VETERANS AGENCY WEBSITE,AND THESE SAME PEOPLE THEN ADVISE HOW TO GET YOUR 'VETERANS BADGE',WHICH AS ITS NOT GIVEN TO ANY DECEASED VETS,COULD ACCURATELY BE CALLED A SURVIVORS MEDAL, OOOPS I'M GOING GONG CHASING AGAIN. PERSONNALLY I THINK ALL HONOURS SHOULD BE SCRAPPED 'CEPT GALLANTRY IN THE FIELD AWARDS ,THIS FACT ALONE WOULD STOP CASH FLOWS FOR HONOURS, I MEAN CAN YOU IMAGINE LYING LORD ARCHER,AND OTHER SLIME BALLS ACTUALLY PUTTING THEIR NECKS ON THE LINE,FOR A SERVICEMANS PAY, MAGGIE I'M SURE WOULD DRIVE A TANK INTO BATTLE,HER SON WOULD PROBALY SELL YOU ONE,BUT PUT HIM IN A DESERT,AND HE'D GET LOST.IF ANY OF YOU KNOW OF ANY FIGHTING POLITICAL SIRS OR DAMES .WHO LIVE IN POOR ACCOMODATION, SHORT OF GOOD EQUIPMENT ETC ETC LET US KNOW .I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY REFERENCE TO 'BIFFO JAGWAR' HERE |;THE ONLY FIGHTING HE'S DONE ,IS WITH THE EGG THROWING PUBLIC,THOUGH TRACY T, DID GIVE HIM A RECOMMEND FOR THE KU KLUX KLAN, AS HE'S A WIZARD UNDER THE SHEETS,BUT BIFFO IS WORTH EVERY PENNY OF NOT HAVING A PROPER JOB,THO HE DOES HAVE ONE REALLY AND THATS TO KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT ABOUT THE GOINGS ON OF EMPEROR AARTONE & FURZST LADEE GIMME GIMME.I WOULD LIKE EVERYONE THO' ,NEXT TIME YOU SEE AARTONE WALKING AROUND STARKERS,JUST COMPLIMENT HIM ON THE QUALITY OF THE CLOTH,THE CUT AND STYLE,OF HIS TOGA.

FRIENDS DEAR FRIENDS NO ONE WOULD BUY ME,AND UNLIKE SOME I CAN'T BE BOUGHT,RESPECT THE FACE YOU SEE IN THE MIRROR I SEZ, EVEN IF ITS ONE THAT ONLY A MOTHER COULD LOVE

If Janvrin were to look in the mirror, he would see the epitome of a waste of a good skin! I will restate my take on the "discourteous" wearing of the PJM, at the risk of being seen as confrontational (who, me?). ALL THOSE WHO SERVED IN THE THEATRE OF THE MALAYA/BORNEO CONFLICT, WERE SENT INTO THAT THEATRE BY THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT, ON BEHALF OF THE QUEEN. HOW THEN, CAN THE WEARING OF CERTAIN MEDALS AWARDED IN THAT SERVICE BE CONSIDERED "DISCOUTRTEOUS" TO THE PERSON, IN WHOSE NAME, THE RECIPIENTS SERVED???? THE DISCRIMINATION IS ABSURD. AS THE "RULE" THAT THE PJM MUST NOT BE WORN IS NOT STATUTE LAW, I HEREBY AFFIRM THAT, AS A LAW ABIDING CITIZEN, COMPLETELY LOYAL TO MY QUEEN AND COUNTRY, AND ABSOLUTELY DEVOID OF ANY DISCOURTEOUS BONE IN MY BODY, I SHALL WEAR MY PJM, AS AND WHEN I WILL, NOT ONLY IN ORDER TO SHOW MY RESPECT FOR THE PEOPLE OF MALAYSIA, BUT TO REMEMBER AND RESPECT THE SACRIFICE MADE BY THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES. IF I WERE TO RECEIVE A PERSONAL LETTER FROM HER MAJESTY, REQUESTING ME NOT TO WEAR MY PJM, I WOULD, OF COURSE COMPLY. REQUESTS FROM ANY OTHER SOURCE WOULD BE USED IN MY TOILET FOR OBVIOUS USAGE! My very best regards to you all, Dave.

NOWT WRONG WITH THAT DAVE MI ACKER,I'LL GO WITH MY MEDAL MY RIGHT AS AND WHEN I SEE FIT,IF QUEEN DOESN'T WANT THAT,AS AN ASTUTE LADY WHO'S SEEN MORE OF THE WORLD STAGE THAN ANYONE PERSON ALIVE,ALL H.M. HAS TO DO IS DROP ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE ,CRIKES BLOKES SHE PROBABLY KNOWS RO5 WAS 'EAGLE',NO ONE INTENDS ANY 'DISSING',TO H.M. IF ANYONE WAS DISCOURTEOUS IT WAS SENDING LOTS OF YOUNG BODS ,UNDER 18 HALFWAY ROUND THE WORLD,PAYING INCOME TAX ON PEE POOR PAY,THEN ON YOUR RETURN HAVING THOSE MISERABLE SODS FROM CUSTOM'S NOT LETTING THE SHIP GO ALONGSIDE WHERE ALL THE FAMILIES WERE WAITING AFTER TWO YEARS AWAY,WHILE THEY SCREWED YOU FOR 'DUTY'.AS A FORMER RATING WHOSE HOOKS AND BADGES WHERE ON ZIPPERS,I ALWAYS LIKED A GOOD PUNCH UP,NOT ALWAYS WITH THE ENEMY,SO 'SCUSE MY FRENCH ,BUT ALL THATS COMING OUT OF WHITEHALL GENERALLY IS A WHOLE LOT OF BOLLOCKS,I'LL WEAR MINE ."PERIOD"

Pete that part you mentioned about customs certainly brought back nasty memories for me.After 18 months in Borneo.departing from Tawau,Sabah with a stop off at RAF Changi then a 24 hour flight to RAF Lynham landing at 08.00.I then encountered customs.Officers first.They went through in minutes.Then it was the lads turn.Customs went through every item of clothing and luggage we possessed.Cleared customs at 13.00.During that time no refreshments were offered at all.We were treated like ****.On top of that the duty paid on a few "rabbits" was a "rip-off".The whole experience left a nasty taste in my mouth .What a welcome home.

YEP RAY 'BOUT SUMS IT UP ,WHILE LOTS OF THINGS IN GOV ARE NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE,WE HAVE THE FINEST SYSTEM IN THE WORLD FOR PARTING YOU FROM YOUR CASH,AS FOR CUSTOMS MYSELF I DIDN'T BOTHER,LOOKED ON IT AS PERKS OF JOB.STILL LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE THEY PROBABLY BOUGHT BIG FANCY HOUSES ON THEIR ILL GOTTEN GAINS,AND WITH LUCK THEY SHOULD BE POPPING THEIR CLOGS ,AN PAYING INHERITANCE TAX!

I've just had a thought! Don't laugh Pete and Dave, I do get the occasional brainwave.
Did Her Majesty agree to overturn the ruling so that we can receive our medal, because, if not, snotty Janvrin would have dipped out of his, and who would have put the 'suits' up to amending those rules so he could...

The plot thickens.

As he declined to answer my first letter asking if I can have a letter from the Queen under Section 6 of the Jack Straw Rules Governing the Accepting and Wearing of Foreign Orders, Decorations, and Medals by Citizens of the United Kingdom and Her Overseas Territories quote The grant of permission whether unrestricted or restricted, will be conveyed by letter to the UK Citizen concerned from the Sovereign's Private Secretary unquote, I have asked him again as follows:-

Sir Robin Janvrin KCB KCVO, 28th. February, 2007.
Private Secretary to the Sovereign,
Buckingham Palace,
LONDON.
SW1A 1AA.


Sir,


PINGAT JASA MALAYSIA.



I wrote to you on the 9th. December, 2006, and I have yet to receive an acknowledgement or reply.

If you are unable to reply to me would you be so kind as to refer my letter to someone who can answer my questions.

Thank you.


Yours faithfully,
