Dead O'Gonner 1 Posted August 24, 2007 My new Avatar has not gone down very well, so I'm taking heed. If anyone has any suggestions on a suitable Avatar please post here. I only ask so that i do not have to change it for a third time. How about rotating pics of each of the winners of FHM's coveted "sexiest woman alive" award? That way we can compare the one of Britney Spears then to the train wreck she has become, and wonder how. I like that idea, maybe i could tweak it to have pictures of all the people in VSBfromH self destruction thread? The way they were before they got corrupt on alcohol, drugs and a lack of personal hygiene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted December 22, 2008 It's a tribute, no bullshit. I've been onto Kevan Jones MP lately, along with a few others, suggesting as veterans' minister he does something about the posthumous Military Cross for Walter Tull. Going to Northampton Town last Saturday and walking to the ground down Walter Tull Way reminded me of the whole thing. This matters. Walter Tull Kevan Jones MP - sadly no direct e-mail from his site, but bother him by post, tell him who you are and tell him you support the Military Cross campaign and the statement in Early Day Motion 1851, he'd love to hear from you, and he - just about - has the power to do something about it. Oh aye and....Early Day Motion 1851 Tabled by Northampton MP Brian Binley and signed by the 54 MPs below. Assuming your MP isn't a minister and isn't listed on the names below, you could always get on his/her case and ask them to get behind it. You could probably do that by e-mail via their site but you have to give them your address to prove you are a genuine constituent and not that mad bastard from Maryport who keeps bothering them. Binley, Brian That this House remembers Walter Tull for his contribution to British sport as a professional footballer for Tottenham Hotspur and Northampton Town football clubs; expresses its sincere gratitude for his lesser-known role as a soldier who fought in the 17th Middlesex Regiment during the First World War; notes that he was accepted for Officer Training and appointed to a Commission in the Special Reserve of Officers in 1917; remembers that he sadly lost his life as an officer of the 23rd Middlesex regiment in 1918; notes that his Commanding Officer mentioned him in despatches for his `gallantry and coolness' on the Italian Front and recommended him for a Military Cross; regrets that he was not awarded the Cross because, as a British citizen of non-European descent, he should not have been commissioned at all; and calls upon the Government to right this sizeable injustice by posthumously awarding him the Military Cross for his gallantry. Signatures( 54) Standard Order Party Groups Alphabetical Order Party Totals Status Open signatures All signatures Binley, Brian Hepburn, Stephen Illsley, Eric Jenkins, Brian Lancaster, Mark Holloway, Adam Kumar, Ashok Evans, Nigel Fraser, Christopher Walker, Charles Scott, Lee Hunter, Mark Hoyle, Lindsay Cryer, Ann Campbell, Gregory Corbyn, Jeremy Stringer, Graham Wareing, Robert N Simpson, David McCrea, Dr William Bottomley, Peter Pope, Greg Hopkins, Kelvin Hancock, Mike Simpson, Alan Vis, Rudi Pound, Stephen Purchase, Ken Hayes, John Meale, Alan Campbell, Ronnie Clappison, James Etherington, Bill Goodwill, Robert Bailey, Adrian Boswell, Tim Syms, Robert Winterton, Nicholas Wright, Anthony D Bone, Peter Davies, Philip Dorries, Nadine Hands, Greg Jackson, Stewart Timpson, Edward Russell, Bob Keen, Alan Duncan Smith, Iain Wallace, Ben Browne, Jeremy MacNeil, Angus Farron, Timothy Grogan, John Webb, Steve Bet you're sorry you asked about the Avatar now, eh?

Terminator 13 Posted December 23, 2008 Bet you're sorry you asked about the Avatar now, eh? Unfortunately, all your good efforts are somewhat diluted by the comments directly under your avatar.....

Not at all. I did know who he was, I just wondered as to your reason of choice. My son played at the Stade Jacques Chaban-Delmas last year with a THFC shirt under his club shirt. This year he will have one with Walter's name on the back. Better that than the Berbatov one. Terminator has a point about the comments under the avatar. Perhaps a campaign can be started to have the 'sad W**ker' title changed while Walter Tull's picture is above. Perhaps to 'sad Walter'. Obviously it should be changed back if the avatar is changed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted December 23, 2008 "....regrets that he was not awarded the Cross because, as a British citizen of non-European descent, he should not have been commissioned at all." I'm surprised the British army didn't send his family a bill for the uniform he got all dirty when he was killed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted December 23, 2008 Perhaps a campaign can be started to have the 'sad W**ker' title changed while Walter Tull's picture is above. Doubtless it will be changed to something even more demeaning when I hit 7000 posts, obviously, BS and Windsor may be Sad w**nkers by next Christmas, or soon after. It's our reward for sticking around to hit the magic 6000. It's a fair point though, re Walter Tull and the words beneath. I'm guessing where he was concerned there may be more of the story unrecorded. The 'European descent' element and the way it was worded seem to suggest it hadn't occured to the bigots in charge that a man of mixed race, i.e. partly European, might be officer material. The television drama this year started with him already selected, I've found myself wondering if those nominating him looked at the regulations and said something like; 'Damn it all, his mother was English!' As a rule I find it easy to resist the kind of bleeding heart liberalism that wants to right every historic wrong, but in Walter Tull's case I think the campaign matters to leave a historical record of this country admitting to wrongs, and creating a story with a decent hero that could be told to every school kid, in a way that got the message across in simple and effective terms. Or summat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
