Fraus, I’ve had a lovely grunk this morning. Thank you. I am suffering from the effects of a few too many last night, coupled with very bad menstrual cramps.
I’ve stupidly agreed to go out with Mr Laz today for dinner and drinks - send supportive wordo’s.

I’m not military or military around the edges, but I suspect Big D is legitimate on all his military stuff because a) he’s clearly deeply involved in various associations as you say and b) Jack has brought so much attention towards him for various military related reasons over the years that someone on the hellsite would definitely have picked up by now if he wasn’t.

ETA because I cannot complete a thought atm: from the local media reports he seems to love being in he’s always struck me as the type who would be quite full of himself and his achievements (best person ever to foster/serve in the Falklands style) but truthful at the same time.

I have a brain worm about what word she was trying for with "psephologist".

Jack, if you're reading this (and we know you are, you ninny) please send explainios.
I can only think she meant polymath as in good at a lot of things. Unlike oor wee Jackster

Could it be a NATO or UN campaign medal?
If so it should be worn with the other campaign medals?

every town has one!
Our village has one: telling everyone how active he was in the Falklands, did this mission, that mission etc etc. Till someone pointed out he was 15 at the time of the Falklands… so….
He now owns a local childcare setting and apparently it’s ‘the best setting for miles’ he’s such a loud mouth about all his ‘achievements’ I once heard him tell a prospective parent that he was once a teacher. When challenged on that afterwards he said ‘well I used to show people how to do stuff in the navy’

It's some sort of NATO medal I think.

I thought Kosovo but the ribbon is wrong. Bar at the top would say what is is if there's a clearer image

Did he do any peacekeeping stuff with the United Nations, do we know?

I’m sure when Jack catches up she’ll make a snarky comment about Big Dave’s medals and so will painstakingly detail what they were for.

Is it this one? It's definitely a UN medal

I haven’t seen that picture of Big Dave before but if anyone ever wonders where Jack gets her preening and showy off nonsense from, they need look no further. I know they are real but he looks like a kid playing dress up - with his little button badges and shiny buttoned blazer topped off with his stitch on gun badge - jesus wept. About as humble as that Andrew Tate chap with his pile of money and big cigar.

Add the fetishising of disability that her family do around her mums much mentioned woes and Jack really has been hit with the very worst of both parents traits.

To be fair to Big Dave, this is a pretty standard thing for proud ex servicemen/women on commemorative days

That was my first thought. It doesn’t resemble any NATO campaign medals IMO, although from a distance it does resemble the NATO Meritorious Service Medal. However, they are extremely rare and the timing doesn’t add up.

It could be the “prestigious” medal mentioned here, but it doesn’t match any known official UK civilian gallantry decorations, and there’s no official gallantry decorations for him listed in the Gazette:


UN medals tend to have a lighter shade of blue in the ribbon, but will keep ~painstakingly~ looking…

Be that as it may, it’s mortifying combined with the emanating smugness.

To be fair, I find it all a bit ridiculous- but he seems to edge it up a notch.

That quote is very strange - as it was in response to someone asking why SB couldn't live with his dad if times were so hard. Which she hysterically equates to putting him in care.
Funny you should say that…
It’s from the comments on this Guardian crap of hers in Oct 2013. She wades into the comments A LOT on that particular article.



Here’s the link to her profile. Even back then she was SOOOO unpleasantly RUDE. Every single comment of hers in the G is, rude, defensive, patronizing, combative, unprofessional. Nothing‘s really changed then…

and a self-promoting insufferable-sounding little shit even before she was “famous”
