Sorry I felt I couldn't lie to them any longer, my conscience finally caught up with me.

Good grief, you just can't get decent world domination staff these days.

Ever thought I may have plans of my own and saw this as a great time to torpedo other's efforts?

Yes, I've had to outsource mine to India.

[wendigo100]

Just you wait until The Master finds out... then you'll be for it...

That agony thingy? Ooo-er!

[wendigo100]

Yes, I've had to outsource mine to India.

Who's in charge over there, the Nawab?

[Old Greg]

Who's in charge over there, the Nawab?

Ah, you use them as well?

[wendigo100]

Ah, you use them as well?

Not yet, I'll wait and see. I've heard that the indians having even more trouble getting their cunning plans off the ground. The trouble over there is that the people eat the lizards, rather than the other way around.

With every lizard they eat, their tyrannopower grows stronger. You want them on your side, believe me.

What I would like to know is what was going through the "officials" mind when he declined the request?

What value does this "civil servant" put on a VC? One earned fighting for HIS country during its time of need.

The real shame here is the fact that this so called civil servant didnt have the ability to think for himself and grant the old geezer what he was after. After all, this old bugger put his life on the line for King and Country and was rewarded for his efforts with a but of brass (that was taken off him anyways).

Just another example of red tape gone crazy.

I agree. I worked with the Gurkhas for 2 years and they are great people. Amazing little blokes that fight for us and get very little in return...
