Awards quick reference list!

Fine. BTW, Navyson and Schuultz are my first choices as well.

Agreed.

Fine with me.

Could you organise a military band as well? :smiley:

I was thinking of an online May Day style parade with a 21-gun salute…

Get Chevan involved then :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, that works for me. :smiley:

You could use this, if anyone can stay awake long enough to watch it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-Az7G2o844

Three burning questions arise from this video.

  1. What gulag does a driver of one of the 1960/70s Caddy knock offs go to if he causes one of the bigwigs to fall over or, better still, catapaults him over the windscreen?

  2. Does the second bigwig have his glove sewn to his visor, or is his arm welded in a saluting position?

  3. Are they real troops or just sideshow clowns that have their mouths open and turn their heads as the bigwigs pass? I felt an urge to pop a ping pong ball in.

Didn’t the Soviets keep an entire Armoured division in Moscow for ceremonial duties? I’ve got a vague feeling it’s still there as the Tamanskaya or something, with their main role being drill and their secondary role being shooting at parliament if the MPs start getting funny ideas like they might be living in a democracy.
