I think this thread is no longer about Brexit and FlyBMI.

Fortunately for us, the Warsaw Pact made scant use of elephants.

But I am sure you could have frightened the beejeezus out of their infantry with your blunderbuss!!

I mean with that and the overpowering stench emanating from your soiled undergarments I am sure Spetsnaz would have given you a really wide berth.

Let me know when you've learnt to use a real gun, that requires an accurate shot, and has real stopping power

Well, to be fair kitchen staff is the last line of defense, so they get to be issued firearms too.

Is that the gun they gave you when you sat in your shed? My rifle was a little more sophisticated than that, but then they trusted me not to shoot myself in the foot ... as a Brexiter, that's clearly a high risk possibility with you

Maybe if you hadn't run away from your comrades they may have let you have a real gun

Or a <run away> emoji to represent someone leaving their comrades when trouble is on the horizon. You know, for those people who sat safe in a shed behind a wall for years, but when they were actually needed to stand up and be counted they <run away>

Maybe we could dress the <run away> man in khaki
