Ah yes... but what you can't see in the photo is the little sniper I put in the top right window of the house/churchy thing.  :salute: cheers for the comment.

Here's another one... Thanks,- T...  Good skills.... a nice big graphic... I hardly had to touch it up at all: (plate measures 1 x 2 inch)

Hi Hale.... thanks for that. .... and now we have established that we want each others babies... you'd better turn out to be A. female  and B. the Bondi beach babe of my dreams... and not a fat grease stained truckie who preys in chat rooms! Best regards,- Chris

Yeps... you're dead right: French, from matelot, sailor, from Old French matenot, sailor, bunkmate, possibly from Middle Dutch mattenoot (perhaps from matte, bed from Late Latin matta; see mat1 + noot, fellow) or from Old Norse mötunautr, messmate (mata, food, mess + nautr, companion). I just...

Thank you... that's right!  'Tis British slang Where the Army goes the Pong'goes.  (smell) All Army are Pongos... Air Force are Crabs and Navy are Matelots  (French I believe for bed-fellows!)

Hi Hale... just a quick question... do you know the Australian forum: australiandiggers.com ? I've heard it's closed and therefore haven't entered. But sent a message that went unanswered too. Is there advertising on it?

Wow!  Hi Hale... bloody hell that's fantastic. Aus is on my hit list as soon as I've finished opening my new danish site soelvhalskaede.dk... The graphics are just perfect. I've done some wholesale to Aus before but not the military and got a little bit wary when one of the customers wrote back...

Carpe Kevlar is not "Keep your head down" Nice to see our moto being engraved on more and more bullets… Cheers… glad you like it… But yesterday (for the first time) I was asked what it really meant. Well… seize the Kevlar or grab the bodyarmour… a rip off of dead Poets society Carpe Dium.. Ah...

Cheers for the heads up... lets keep this going. Better to be forewarned than... conned.

Thanks for all the help... I'll let you know how I get on... I've just put in my attendance proforma... next stop... bus stop  (or taxi rank)

Glad you got it SR... and that the Ministry of Fun ensured you appreciated it!  ;) and great to hear you liked the custom engraving...  just so the rest of you know... for an extra $6 we'll do your own one-off design (this is only for one-offs... if you've got a regt badge we don't have then we...

Ah no... that's the thing see... they've already taken all I've got!

I learned to drive with the British School of Motoring just off Leicester Square not ten minutes walk from Marble Arch needless to say I took twenty hours and not once did we get as far as the Arch before having to turn back as time was running out. I quite rightly failed my first test (which...

Can't complain too much... we may give all our cash to the government (income tax starts at 45% and rises to 66% at 50K dollars p.a.)... but we don't have any poor or homeless people (yet no rich people either). I read yesterday that in the US there are 16 million poor people (gauged as a family...

Little bit tacky of the house of names to pop a square .gif in the middle of a generic sheild and helmet. See.. my helmet should have a cresent and corn growing out of it... which is quite ironic really... cos when I was on Ops my helmet sometimes had corn growing out of it... I even put half...

9.7 krone per litre... that's about 2 Canadian dollars.... and don't start me about the price of cars... we pay 215% car tax... the very cheapest 4x4 here (Denmark/Suzuki) cost me 50,000 dollars.

Agreed.... but still baffled:... why there aren't enough parking spaces at take-out doughnut shops? (PS... in return please see General Melchard, Captain Darling and Lt George... to see why the British empire is now the size of a dried walnut.)

Well it's either the Ministry of Fun... keeping you in suspense... so that you feel even better when you get it... or the Ministry of Misery making the Zippo take its shoes off for security checks and interrogating it for being an alien. Mr Zippo is happy though... he's been over th Atlantic...

You're the cheapest mercinaries, west of Berlin!  What about the pension, status, a nice married quarter and a row of shiny medals? I mean rye is even cheaper than Highland malt isn't it?

Trust me Grommet... I'm very proud to be English and wouldn't dream of being anything else... (and my daughter is Danish and that's that) I'm just trying to wog a free bus ride (and not have to break a conversation as they all hop on the bus and I jump in a taxi behind)... It's a bit banal, but...
