Methinks this not your Pete 4AB...A Terracotta Baskerville maybe!!!! FTRPLT

Yeah, I copied the wrong line by reflex from my rtf file. You're the only person on three forums who noticed. I didn't either. That Baskerville is my other Rouxgaroux pipe when I want to give the 4AB a day off.

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 the khukuri, a forward-curving knife, and have a reputation for fearless military prowess. Former Army Chief of Staff Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw once stated that: "If a man says he is not afraid of dying, he is either lying or he is a Gurkha."

When I think of Gurkhas I always remember hearing this from when I was a kid

The legend goes that whenever a Gurkha draws his kukri in anger, he must also draw blood… Though the kukri is best known as a ruthless weapon for combat, the knife has several other uses.

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 off my chest, I'm about to fill a Savinelli Long John with some Petersons EMP, and wheel out to the garden to soak up this glorious day.
Have an awesome day yourselves my friends

She stuck you in the chest!? That's terrible!! I usually get my shots in the arm...

Now smoking year 2019 Seattle Pipe Club Deception Pass plug in a smooth straight brown late 1930s Linkman’s Dr. Grabow Deluxe Bruyere 9703B pot with a nickel accent and a black tapered vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. My second set of walking reps were rained out.

After a nice supper and watching Vera on BritBox with the missus, I'm on the patio smoking Watch City Rouxgaroux in the Hardcastle's Crown bent billiard with saddle stem, drinking Knob Creek Rye on ice, and reading a book.

 

[JimInks]

Just finished smoking year 2014 Sam Gawith Best Brown Flake in a straight smooth brown 1933-1945 Comoy’s patent Grand Slam 159 *4 apple with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Watching the Braves-Padres game.

Now smoking year 2008 Astley’s No. 109 in a straight smooth dark brown year 1926 Parker Super Bruyere patent 3 63/F lovat with a black vulcanite saddle stem. This will get me to dinner time.

 

[Eutychus]

The missus has joined me, she with a glass of Cabernet, and a refill of rye whiskey for me, and I'm smoking Sutliff Rum & Maple in a non-branded "Imported Briar" straight apple (previously I referred to it as a billiard, but I think apple is correct) with saddle stem. We're enjoying a lovely sunset. Good night BoBs!

The Pure Virginia carried me through mowing around the vegetable garden raised beds, roasted chicken and salad dinner, and, closing up the birds. Now it's time for GLP Westminster in a Rob Roy and a glass of jug wine.

 

[Ranger107]

Pre dinner smoke of Lancer Slices in a Molina 1/4 bent blasted Rhodesian with Evan Williams Honey bourbon. Had a full day with 2 Honor Guard ceremonies and a trip to the ranch. Nice to just sit, relax, and have a cocktail, lol.

 

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, cod and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm half way through this bowl of year 2016 Peter Heinrichs Special Curly in a straight smooth brown 1950s The Saint James London Pipe (Comoy’s second) 185M billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty Jazz apple, and am smoking Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a smooth medium bend terracotta Peterson POY 2023 X160 464/1100 military mount egg with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking unreleased 2021 Sutliff Virginia plug in a 2002 straight grain Karl Erik Ekstravagant A medium bend dublin sitter with a small horn ferrule accent and black acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. I may end the day with this smoke.

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 truth in the belief that a Gurkha must draw blood every time before he may return the kukri to its sheath
