Sea Marshall C9ck's Birthday Honours List

On accepting the rank of Sea Marshall, I - secretly and under laws as old as the fleet itself - and with the utmost humility - bestowed upon myself the duty, nee privilege, of announcing a birthday honours list...er... on an annual basis. Here begins the first annual Sea Marshall's birthday honours list. This is a Q1 announcement.


It is with great pride that I announce the following.

1. For services to the Fleet during his tenure as AoTF I hereby enrol the AoTF Starj as Commander of the Order of the Fleet Empire (CFE)
2. For services to the Fleet website I hereby enrol the Exco as Officer of the Order of the Fleet Empire (OFE).
3. For services rendered to the Fleet in relation to travel arrangements and accomodation on foreign shores I hereby bestow on Craftsman Coco the title of Dame Commander of the Order of the Bath (DCB).
4. For repeated and selfless engagement in fleet / mini-fleet soirees I hereby bestow on the Gunnary Sergeant Hymers the title of Companion of the Order of the Barf (CB).

Here ends the first annual Sea Marshall Birthday Honours list.

What is this?


Answers on a postcard...

Caption Competition




Non scoring post.

Best Caption gets 2 points. I'm judging.

We Were Promised (More) Jetpacks


Another date for your diary boyz. Tuesday 9th June 2009 back at Cab Vol. Tickets £8 + booking.

Who is in??????? Hymers, dont even say it. Just don't say it!!!

First album will be out in time for that.

Seems that they are supporting a danish band called, Teitur. You can check out their myspace here, total grower, track 2 is better than 1 i think.....Also, i'm claiming that i'm saying this now, cause all recollection of my chat about The Fleet Foxes seems to have been forgotten and they are just simply immense!!

Another top band for you guys: Empire of the Sun. Check it boys! If you are into MGMT, and you should be, then these boys are fairly decent ;) Oh and c9ck, special mention here - you MUST go find the Friendly Fires album and listen to it. Another Hot Chip moment coming along at TitP!

In other news, the Jetpacks have appeared on their first torrent!! Some collection of US tunes, to go with their forthcoming US tour ;)

Signing off......

Blog of The Month (B.O.T.M.) - February

Ok Fleet, so what happened in February?!
Item 1 - 63 posts in Jan down to a paltry 43 in Feb
Item 2 - Quality control - The following posts have been brought to my attention for all the wrong reasons.

Ollie's Christmas decorations posts - just all wrong.
TC - old ladies with trolleys - any need?
Starj - Crazy Frog (twice) and Bagpus - dear oh dear.

However, there were some high points - top 5 as follows

Equal 5th. Starj - Ski goggles, & Ollie - staring at a door - totally random but rather amusing
4. Cardo - Pink - no particular reason ...
3. ZDF - Table Tennis - "ROOF ACTION" shout from Zool - cracks me up every time
2. Vontz - Wava man - a wava man is a happy man!
1. c9ck - Application... Denied

I was going to give Zool some points for speeding it up (by accident) but he's top of the table so I'm not going to. However, I am going to share the points with Vontz, without whom this post would not have been possible.

Something tells me March could be an interesting month for blogs... make it so.

Hit Report so far

Check out the report of who hits us in the UK.

Walsall?!?! :)

You blog it RIGHT NOW.

Fleet Application Form is now Live!!


Gents, the official Fleet Application Form is now live and can be filled in and submitted by anyone wishing to join the fleet. The form will be sent to all of us if the civilian clicks on the link at the top of the Application Form. (more on that in the next section of this post).

There are 50 taxing questions, and i'm sure you'll agree that it will result in weeding out those that will not come up to scratch.

Please encourage those civilians that you come across to fill in the form. You just never know!

Note - All Applications will be vetted in the double elbow bash manner.

So, lets see who is first to 'join'!


Obviously for security reasons none of our real email addresses could be used, so we now all have @edinburghfleet.com emails which AUTOMATICALLY forward to your primary home email account.

For example, vontz at edinburghfleet dot com forwards to vontz's home email addy. You don't need to do anything other than sit back and relax - something that Coco should be happy with ;)

EXCO.
