Thank you for the welcome Martin and C. This test post was actually made by the Administrator as I had a log-on problem. I must say, to your credit and this forum's, this is the first time I have ever received a 'welcome' to my first post! I'm taken back A couple of years ago I made a first post (harmless) in another forum and found myself jumped on by a remnant of the Third Reich. A bit like walking into a strange pub for a quiet drink and someone comes at you with bottle Maybe he hangs out here as well, so just in case I hope you won't mind if I keep my Wilkinson stropped No.9
Ha Haaaaaaa.. we wait for you to make a few easy posts to build up a sense of well-being - And then we come at you with the broken bottle ( Just kidding ! )
Welcome my friend! I look forward to seeing you dressed to the nines. (sorry, had to be said) No need to worry about the bottle wielding members, if they start anything, I'll sick the dogs on them. Arf! [ 16. January 2003, 07:19 PM: Message edited by: Peppy ]
Martin – I’ll meet you half way. You’re welcome to throw bottles as long as they’re full Peppy – Thank you for the welcome but believe me, if you run a poll on the sartorial elegance of posters I’ll do as well as Eddy the Eagle . It’s a first time twist on my handle however. I usually get references to ‘The Prisoner’, sometimes a football field position and even an analogy to an old haemorrhoid preparation None of the above? No.9 ps great Avatar by the way
Thanks for the avatar compliment, I make them to order custom, just send my the images or suggestions. "No.9" I wonder what it represents? I'm thinking "love monkey #9" maybe? or nine yards? anyone else care to guess?
Hi #9--quite welcome. And you know--I think we actually have more British and UK members than American members now--which is good--we're out-numbered again--is it time for a 2nd Revolution? Heh heh heh-- Peppy --congrats on your new award--heh heh heh--Snoopy's gettin a bit jealous Snoopy STILL hasnt been able to shoot down The Red Baron yet--UH OH!!! Tat-a-tat-a-tat-a-tatta-tat--s-s-s--sp-sp-sp-sputt-sputter-sputter nunnnrrrrrooooowwwwwwww--chash. Snoopy just got shot down again! You definately deserve the Knights Cross with Oaks-Swords and Diamonds my friend. Kai--I think you also deserve the Finnish Cross of Freedom with Swords and The Mannerheim Cross. [ 17.

Welcome No. 9. I will take a couple of shots to our cousin across the lake..... 1. Perhaps the copyright holder for love potion No. 9? 2. Perhaps the relative of Voyager's "7"? Nevertheless, welcome and look forward to your contributions.
Err…..thanks again gentlemen and thank you PzJgr. This is a bit embarrassing now – I’ve gone beetroot There again, as Martin said, this could be a sucker punch? C – This forum is full of surprises! A UK hideout? Talk of revolution reminds me of the great Brando line in ‘The Wild One’. ”Hey Johnny, what are you rebelling against?” ~~ “What you got?” [shucks, given my age away ] Seems like my short handle has become a minor curiosity? Peppy - "No.9" I wonder what it represents? I'm thinking "love monkey #9" maybe? or nine yards? anyone else care to guess? - Peppy, you’ve got me guessing now? PzJgr – 1. Perhaps the copyright holder for love potion No. 9? - I wish. Closest I’d ever get would be 34th and Vine 2. Perhaps the relative of Voyager's "7"? - I wish (part II) My handle is not cryptic, its British, W.W.II and invariably less than 500? (I said my handle is not cryptic - never said anything about my clues ) No.9 [ 17. January 2003, 10:48 PM: Message edited by: No.9 ]
PEPPY -Outstanding avatar-I love it.... Welcome No9-My guess....perhaps a tribute to a weapon of war-eg S9, U-9, Black 9 etc etc...ah well I did my best...
Hello Panzerknacker and thank you. Re ‘No.9’, your correct that it’s respectful, but it’s about people, not equipment? No.9
Seems like we've got another trivia quiz going..... Two memoirs of WWI were written in the '20s under the pseudonyms 'Mark Severn' and 'Mk VII' but that, I think, was the .303 cartridge. Dunno about No. 9.....
Are you the same No 9 who has posted on the History channel web-site in the past, using the same moniker ?
YAHOO!!!!! Flash the strobes, sound the klaxon, set the howler monkeys off, the brass ring has gone! I am undone at the hands of Martin No.9 Commando (Army) – ’the Black Hackles’ Commanded throughout almost its entire history by the legendary Ronnie Todd (himself the first Commando CO and ultimately the Brigadier of 2 Commando Brigade. Formal Battle Honours of No.9: Anzio, Argenta Gap, Greece 1944-45, Italy 1943-45, Monte Ornito, St.Nazaire, Valli di Comacchio. redcoat – Have you forgotten the 'Bollocks Tribe' so soon? No.9
