There is always one option left for when things go so wrong you see no way out.

* Also serves as a good home defense weapon. "But officer, he looked like a nail"!

Rant mode on.
Still never worked out why the Guards didn't keep the Lee Metford/Enfields for ceremonial duties instead of the stupid drill they devised for the SA80 and the silly covers so they didn't get oil over there nice red tunics.

Hey!  No fair!  One of the yabbies has his claw strapped shut!  We want a clean, fair fight!   

And if you actually pay attention you can see to the lower right the remains of the tape used on the other lobster

And one lobster is right-handed and the other is left handed......I feel this is important for some reason! 

(I thought lobsters were like crabs and had one big claw, one little claw ?!?)

They don't call it "kit bashing" for nothing.

Theres some really weird ranks in the British Army, especially in the woodentops and donkey wallopers, Lance Sergeants, Staff Corporal and Corporal of Horse being three of them.  

Aaaaaand my brother was in the Grenadier Guards for 15 years.

My brother and most of his mates would agree with you on that point Steve. They ALL hated ceremonials with the SA80!!!! Last time I mounted a ceremonial guard we did it with Lee Enfiels no4's..Much nicer to work with for that job.

There's nothing quite like the massed 'CLACKKK!' sound as all the deliberately dis-placed magazines are pushed home when a squad comes to the 'Present' with a Lee-Enfield.

Superb !!!    Now maybe a counterpart with a saying from the Sith Lord....

 Keep Calm and Carry On, or I will Calm You and we'll carry you Out.

Still gives one Yabbie an unfair advantage...

I always enjoyed the Bayonets that fell off after "Bayonets!  Fix!"  The red faces were fun to watch and muttered swear words from the culprits and the NCOs were amusing as well.   There was always _one_ who didn't press home his Bayonet properly. 

The Australian Army does their drill now with the F88 and it always looks like a dog's breakfast to me.  The "Federation Guard" a ceremonial unit, however uses the L1a1, which like the SMLE is a true long-arm and hence much easier to do drill with.  Not sure about the Chromed magazines and Bayonets, though...

[PR19_Kit]

Chromed mags and bayonets? Ye gods, whatever next!.

The first time I saw a USAF band I nearly fell off my high chair, er, maybe it was a bit later than that. They wore fully chromed helmets and the MONSTROUS Sousaphone looming over everything just added to my amazement.

I know of some units that use to loosen the woodwork and the butt plates of their Lee Enfields.
