It's a medal for f*cks sake.

A MEDAL!!!!

I got one once for not placing in a cross country run i didn't want to do.

Dick Dastardly's pooch Muttley got one everyweek!





A pointy star made of some cheap copper or summat, and a little ribbon stuck to it!

It doesn't mean shite!

Just another stupid useless sodding ceremony for the greatest teachers of "how not to be" we'll ever get.

What'd'ya think?
