Duke thanks all of his Fans by grabbing the front rim of his White Cavalry Stetson with his right hand and takes it off of his head and tips it at all of the Gents in this thread. ;-))

Thanks guys-even though a few those shouldn't be here and of them that are done because I STILL can't do multi-quotes in one posting-even though kind experts such as Stefan have tried teaching this old fart how to do it ;-))

PS, my thanks to you Gents and party-will be held in the Militaria forum on this site. Skippers about to post some more images for me ;-)) and im about to pass out repo Iron Crosses to any and all guests that attend the party ;-D

That is an incredible number of posts, Carl! I don't even want to contemplate how long it would take me to do the same- I'll be an old lady by the time I manage the same!

Congratulations, and I look forward to many more discussions.

And a John Wayne quote as a congratulatory gift:

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

So let me get this right....Carls having a party.....Hes having it in the militaria room....Hes inviting a load of male military buffs and ww2 mad guys all with their own boring...sorry specialist...nearly got that wrong...specialist subject....Theres a welshman....a few Texans an Irishman some lefties, righties and middlers....
And then theres Richard....sitting in the corner....doomed were all doomed...did I tell you urqh were all doomed....Michelle dont go....Sounds like more fun tracking a bear round Newfounland in the snow....

But no...saving grace...Erich..at least he can give us all a bed time story...

And no one invited any girls???? No booze as Carl is bringing guns I take it....

So I get the girls and the alcohol free lagers.....

Carl you sure know how to throw a party mate....Next time though...when you get to 32000 posts...let me know a week before....We'll get so much booze in you wont be bothered about the alamo never mind remember it...

Nope...Im looking at the guest list.....sorry hold on...crackling radio in my ear.....yep militaria room..guy by the name of Carl...no dont see why we need the police....sorry Michelle had to answer that one..

Nope...not on page 2 either girl..hang on....page 3....nope got you down chasing bears in the snow....Its a girly thing or something....

Besides you wouldnt want to see Carl when hes drunk...he gets on table and like all good Texans puts on his own version of a show I believe....but being American...or Texan...I believe there is a difference...rather than down the old whiskey with an e in one go...he does same....but with spaggetti bolanse....Dont ask...but its messy..takes days to get his stetson back on straight.

Oh ok. you can come....But you have to have table manners at all times. No drinking other peoples pints when they aint looking, no arm wrestling and no challenging Skipper to a who's the real Frenchman here...him or a proper Canadian.
Its a game that will surely upset him and send him off in a huff to find a tricolour.
So no rude words to the Marseille or whatever it is. You know how he likes to start the evening off with a play of the anthems...

Anyway...its wasnt me who said you cant come....dont tell anyone but it was that Wtid guy...I wanted you there all the time..but the Welsh??? What can you say..

Now then...is there anyone I havent managed to insult yet in this post...

Ahhh...Kai...no he can come we may need him in a professional manner by end of night when I need cutting down...
