Welcome to the latest member who has joined the KGL. He's a good bloke and only lives a few miles from me - small world really.

Welcome Tony, if you are that close to him then you have probably heard about Andy's wild parties... :shock:

Welcome.

And yes, although I live on the other side of the pond, I have heard rumors of Andy's decadence (well, not rumors, since he is the one telling me). My suggestion is that if you must suffer him in person, leave after dessert!

Welcome to the NWC and I think it is your turn to buy. The new LGA officers are about out of money buying drinks. Look them up I am sure they will be happy to give you a good battle...

Battle On...

If Tony does indeed live that close, he may well have participated in Andy's wild parties.... :wink: :P :mrgreen:

Welcome to the mighty Anglo-Allied Army, Tony! Always good to see more Hanoverians joining the ranks. There can never be too many Germans in service to the King! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Greetings,

Thank you one and all for the warm welcome.

Just ploughing through the emails and list of things to do that get generated by joining.

It was amusing to find that having joined a club with a worldwide membership I get a trainer who lives just a few miles away. :)

The tavern was buzzing with activity, so many fresh, new faces, yet to be marred by the stress and horrors of war. :shock: Josephine the cat was wandering about, looking for someone to brush her hair. Outside a bird sat in the Lemon tree, singing a song. :) It all came to a dead calm and a figure came tumbling down the staircase. :shock:

The figure shook his head, smiled while adjusting his chin and jaw and said, "Ach Du Lieber mein Schotz, Du hast ein gute right fist!" :P :oops: :wink: :lol:

Aw yes Kinder, Der Wurger ist in der Haus! :D :D

Looking about, Der Wurger saw new faces in the Bar....

"Was ist das?! Wir haben neue Kinder! Helga, Helga, ein Bier heir! :D Schnell, Ich muss mein whistle wet!" :roll:

"Hmmmm, your uniform ist nicht correct. :? Was? :? ... Was!?!... Der KGL, mein Gott, you are afraid of a little Jager Meister? :o :D Vell, only der Beste stay mit Die Hanoverian Armee. :roll: :D "

"Over there ist Die Frenchie's, ... ja, ja, mit alle perfume and the little hand mirrors so they can der rouge put on." :lol: :lol: :lol: :roll:

"My, my, all this talk. Es ist too quiet, wir muss ein Lied singen" :roll:

"Herr Kling, Herr Kling.... Es ist Zeit fur ear plugs" :o

"Zo, you must sing loudly, Ja?" :x ... "Gut!" :D :D :D

Hier sind wir versammelt zu löblichen Tun,
Drum Brüderchen, ergo bibamus!
Die Gläser, sie klingen, Gespräche, sie ruhn;
Beherziget: ergo bibamus!
Das heißt noch ein altes, ein tüchtiges Wort
Und passet zum ersten und passet sofort
Und schallet ein Echo, vom festlichen Ort,
Ein herrliches: ergo bibamus!

Ich hatte mein freundliches Liebchen gesehn,
Da dach ich mir: Ergo bibamus!
Und nahte mich traulich, da ließ sie mich stehn,
Ich half mir und dachte: Bibamus!
Und wenn sie versöhnet euch herzet und küßt,
Und wenn ihr das Herzen und Küßen vermißt,
So bleibet nur, bis ihr was besseres wißt,
Beim tröstlichen Ergo bibamus! :D

"Sehr gut, Sehr Gut! Du bist ein gute Deutsche Soldaten!" :D :D :D

"Helga, Helga, mehr Beir heir!"

Having been to FM Moss' home and stayed the night, I can report his hospitality to be splendid and the company grand...

Then again, upon retrospection, it may have been the moderating effect of his lady-wife...

Welcome to the field!
