Gentlemen please welcome Lieutenant Stiles who has recently taken up command of the 4th Chasseurs in my brigade.

He is a South African Rugby fan and myself as a fanatical All Blacks fan means our brigade will be one of the best in the Tondu's legions. As long as we don't bash each other to much.

Salute and Vive l'Empereur

What? Another wise man joins La Grande Armee'!!!

Am I surprised that he didn't go to fight with Scott "Mad King" Ludwig?

Was there any question of him signing up with Rule Britannia?

Did I ever think he would put his mark on the recruitment sheet of the Sausage Empire?

Or the Czar's Caviar Collectors?

No indeed! And a big welcome to you Lt. Stiles!

May your victories be many and your foes tremble in their boots at your appearing![:p]

Bon jour Lt Stiles,

You've joined the good side!

Whats rugby?
Isn't calling someone all black a bit off these days ?
Even coloured gets a funny look.
But hey we're all blu here.
Its only the allies who get their asses (oops that should be donkeys) chased all over europe that get a bit dark at times.
The mad prussian swears by the Deaths Head boys even before the 1930s!Now its very un pc.
The Austrians have even got a right charlie that leads them!
Be careful what you say about history too...thats open to interpretation and offence.

But other than that we just enjoy the practice of national aggression in the name of progress and achieve that by killing hundreds of thousands of men and animals....although no women children or real animals were hurt in the development of these games!!

Enjoy [:D]

Gentlemen thank you for your warm welcome. I can see this Rhine Tavern is the place to be for some great R & R! Lets have a round to us all. BIG battle in Durban on Saturday as our Boks take on Gen Knox ALL BLACKs - sorry gents perfectly PC unless South Africa lose then it is a dirty word. By the way rugby is a scientific gentlemanly game of the highest skill - it can regarded as an art form. It has some little similarity to that naff game football (I think it is called) but in rugby we pick up the ball and run with it (as well as many other things). Anyway enough on rugby. Good luck Gen Knox & NZ - may the best team win.
Gentlemen again thank you for your welcome. Another round for all please - Kia ora! A votre sante! Cheers! Gesondheid!

Yes Lieutenant Stiles I can just Bakkies Botha painting a nice landscape [:D] or Victor singing in a choir. Never the less you are right it truly is a more beautiful game than the one played by the men who kiss.

The mighty All Blacks are being written off by all and sundry, dangerous territory for our opponents. [:(!][}:)][xx(][:D]

Helga more drinks here please[:o)]

No sir - absolutely no way that the All Blacks are written off by the people I speak to and the press I read. We anticipate a really fierce game with the All Blacks thowing everything at us. Boks are marginally favourites in my circle but anything can happen today. Enjoy and may it be a great game and may the best team win. Helga - warm up the flat screen and lets have doubles all round.
