If I saw a child bimbling around in the kids size RM shirt and he hadn't passed the Childrens Commando Course I'd KO him.

You obviously haven't seen the kids at my school, I swear some of the 9 year old girls would punch me in the face/balls (depending on how high they can reach) as soon as say hello. :o

Ok first of all I simply asked surfingdream why he was wearing it even though he wasn't a Marine, he answered me saying that his dad was a Bootneck and he gave him it, fair doo's, that's a legitimate answer.

Maybe I should have said that in my next replies but to be honest I didn't think to say it as I was replying specifically to guys who'd asked me something, hence the quotes.

As for everything else I have said it's just my opinion you can agree or disagree with it, doesn't really bother me either way.

Did you forget the part where you said to xcj:
Yeah there is a difference, no one's going to think you're a Premiership Footballer are they.
Besides that I was emphasizing the point that it's not down to you to decide what is a 'legitimate' reason for wearing a pissing t-shirt.

:o ...well this started off as a funny thread but it has seriously gone down hill since.

The story was good, nice work, i think maybe though you should leave his Grandaughter alone though. Milk is one thing but his grandaughter is a whole new ball game. :lol:

If he catches you trying to trap with her you may find your next bottle of milk has an extra something added to it.

As for the T-shirt, come on people lighten up, its only when you cross that line of saying 'yes i am a Royal Marines Commando' that your taking the piss. In this context i dont see anything wrong with it at all.

Best of luck with your training surfingdream, and with the girl.

P.S Alfa, CTC used to be very strict with what T-shirts recruits could wear whilst in training, one in particular (the god is airborne, he failed the commando course) being a VERY VERY big no no untill you had passed the course yourself. I imagine it is exactly the same still, as in the context of recruits wearing T-shirts portraying they have done something they havent yet, its all very different to what surfingdream was doing.

@fubar84

No I didn't forget what I said to xcj, why what's your point?

Is it cause I said they were just my opinions and you think that is somehow stating other peoples opinion?

The reason I said that was in answer to his question about wearing football shirts, my point was if you see someone in a Royal Marine t-shirt people usually assume that they're in the Marines you don't assume the same thing about someone wearing a football shirt (that they play for that team I mean)

Not sure if that was what you meant?

Anyway dwarfy is right it's getting a bit daft now. I intended my last post to be my last, that's the intention I have with this one, wonder if it'll last this time! :lol:
