Are there bonus points for knowing this young man goes by the name of 6ix 9ine? He sings the hippin' and the hoppin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 26 July , 2018 Share Posted 26 July , 2018 No bonus points. In fact you should be ashamed for knowing that and embarrassed about admitting the fact. Do we assume he got dressed in the dark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heid the Ba Posted 26 July , 2018 Share Posted 26 July , 2018 I can only assume he does, or that he dresses that way for a bet. One should never be ashamed of knowledge, however eclectic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted 30 July , 2018 Share Posted 30 July , 2018 Having recently moved my father to new accommodation I have inherited his collection (over 15) accrued between 1946 and 84. They include the RMAS and Alamein Company ties, his Sapper tie and numerous course ones including Shrivenham and some rather nice eclectic ones like the Arab Dhow for the Dhala Road (Aden 1966). In my 8 years I have a modest collection mostly unwearable (I believe most are designed by committee with little respect for those who have to wear them). My regimental one for the RHF although special is not as nice as its successor the Royal Regiment of Scotland in silk - can I wear that instead?

Terry_Reeves Posted 30 July , 2018 Share Posted 30 July , 2018 (edited) Interesting Rob. I wear my RE tie and also have a RMCS Shrivenham tie from my time as an instructor with Ammunition Branch, Weapons and Vehicles Division. Interesting days.

Fleming, included in a Bond book an uncharacteristic howler. One of his villains was described as wearing the unmistakable zigzag tie of the Royal Engineers. Possibly From Russia with Love? My copy is long gone. D Yes, it is 'from Russia With Love' … Red Grant is described as wearing 'A dark blue and red zig-zagged tie of the Royal Engineers, tied with a Windsor knot'. I'm not sure whether this is in the book, though, or whether it's just in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Reeves Posted 30 July , 2018 Share Posted 30 July , 2018 (edited) The RE tie is not a zig-zag pattern, but a diagonal one although the colours are the same. What is described is the tie of the Royal Regiment of Artillery. TR Edited 30 July , 2018 by Terry_Reeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By last CO of the Cameronians, do you mean Lt. Col. Leslie Dow? If so, I am sure the stories were colorful since I do do not think that the two of them were mutual admirers.

I do, both were on the Tattoo committee in 78 when I was trying to look after the admin party at Milton Bridge. Never saw any tension between them, but as a very impressionable 2/Lt I wasn't aware of the history between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
