Congratulations - a pint of Burning Sky Plateau please

I'll have to be more frugal with my posts as I prefer a combat command

Congrats, Andy ! 

I'll have a bottle of gin. (And I'll be coming in messy kit)

Cheers - Phil

A dirty martini please
Then the dirty barmaid.

The nearest we have to a Dirty Barmaid is Nobby.  So your welcome to him.

[Leman]

There's me thinking it was LH.

Congratulations, Sir. Well deserved ... though I am reminded of the Gilbert O'Sullivan song ...

"In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin",
When I can tell at sight a chassepôt rifle from a javelin,
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at,
And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat",
When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery:
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy,
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee---

For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the 20th century;
But still in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Field Marshal."

Isn't it a Mauser? Certainly scans better.

I don't recognise those lyrics from that awfully nice Mr O'Sullivan.
Mind you, back at the Evil Empire, I can remember a certain Dave Andrews...who might even still work there quoting, "I AM the pirate King !"...an awful lot of the time

The sod even put a photocopy on the wall..... of a piccy of the charge of the Light Brigade, with a speech bubble towards a trooper (?) at the back (with an arrow saying "Phil") , saying "Where are we ****ing going ?"

Dave was (and I hope still is) a truly great bloke.

Cheers - Phil

As far as I can tell chassepot and mauser have the same number of syllables (unless you are from Provence).

See what you mean. I was reading the French weapon with English eyes.
