Ditto. Like wot Jim sed

Time for some of Rangers blended Round Up in a Falcon, fitted with a Meershaum bowl. Then time for a little wander down to the village, and meet up with friends in the pub. And why not, it's a truly beautiful evening.

Good morning my friends and fellow BoBs 😊 On another beautiful day here in old blighty, I thought I'd start of with a rather large bowl of my own blended version of Hobbit Weed, in a Savinelli Hercules 611EX. Because of all the talking of Gurkha's recently, I'm going to use my home made Ghurkha...

Top Marks "Ole boy" A character straight from a Sherlock Holmes Case. 👍

I know, but it really should have its own thread, oh well

He Swede Buddy. To answer your question, yes I have, quite a few. We actually had one that passed selection and joined us. For the Nepalese lads to join the Gurkha regiment takes a section process almost as stringent as UKSF. So for this lad this was quite a feat I have also been attached to...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Vera. A particular favourite of Mrs Z.

Heard that story to Mike. Its a myth. It is important to remember that the kukri is a tool of all work, at home in the hills and on active service it will be used for cutting wood, hunting and skinning, opening tins, clearing undergrowth and any other chore. From this it is plain there can be no...

I've not used a MMCC in a while, so decided to try some CS Cherokee in a Mark Twain with a straight stem...and it's a great match. Watching Mrs Z Potter around in the garden, whilst Frodo thinks everything she picks up, is a prelude to a game. Which is annoying the heck out of her, and amusing...

Good morning everybody ☺️. And a spectacular day here in England it is too. However I wasn't to impressed with being woken very early by Nurse Ratchet, who thought it would be a good idea to give me a covid booster ***, instead of Tuesday, when she normally haunts and wails at me. And with that...

Swede my friend , hello Buddy. That is the insignia of the Gurkhas of Nepal. Who have fought, and have thier own Regiment in the British Army..Well since like forever. They are a great bunch of lads. And excellent soldiers. Next paragraph taken from the net. Gurkhas are closely associated with...

I got the "Sterling" significance immediately nice one mate 👍🤣

Hi Singed....Good eye They are .308 Winchester its a smokeless powder rimless bottlenecked rifle cartridge widely used for hunting, target shooting, police, military, and personal protection applications globally. It is similar, but not identical, to the 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge

Simply slide the spike down the shell Mike. They are a nice snug fit. I'll work on a more permanent fixing later...but a good strong epoxy resin should work.

Hi Carl. It was pretty easy really, all caps and berets came with precut reinforced holes to which the badges were attached either by a spike or split pin, a folded flap of either leather or cloth would sit inside the headgear to protect the skin. Other badges, such as my regiment would have a...

A second bowl of First Bowl 😂 In a Petersons Zippo 106 rusticated billiard. Having fun turning old bullet casings into a few tampers, using my huge collection of British military cap and collar badges that I had acquired after a lifetime of Military service. Mrs Z says I should sell them on...

Good Morning my Friends. A miserable looking start to the day here in England, but it is supposed to clear up later, we're just have to wait and see. This morning I'm going to fill a carved Meershaum with some Charatan First Bowl, a large cappuccino sits on the side.

Time enough for a bowl of cherokee in a Dr Plums Quintex. Then get ready for tonights pub quiz and a very large steak, I'm starving. I'll pack 2 Falcons and some of Rangers Urban Cowboy to smoke whilst I'm out. I hope your all having a cracking day my friends.

Must be about time to send you a new pair of socks buddy 😉
