Congratulation anyways.:salute:
Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle! Good spot Sven :thumbsup:

Sorry to tell you that GB also got another medal last night. So you are only drawing with them.

Sorry Steve. I've got to tell you that the 2 years/1000 posts will cover your 1 year/500 posts medal.Quote:

Congratulations and well deserved Steve :salute: Honoured to join you in a celebratory libation
Congrats... That's a lot of brass!
Well done Steve, all those medals should deflect a few bullets:)
Don
Well done Steve!!! Was that for a pint or a barrel???
Well done Gunners - bottoms up :pint:
If you insist - but no peeking! ;)
Well done, Guntruck, it's a hell of contribution to the site everyone can benefit from. :hatsoff: and :FOK:
Well done sir and thanks for all you did earning them. Good news with the 21st medal i believe you get a free visit to the chiropractor for the back pain their weight causes :pint:
Another well deserved one, Steve - I'll drink to that!
A thought...
In Sweden there's a tradition for students who graduate from secondary school to hold a reception at home to which friends and can drop in to gratulate them on their academic performance. At these receptions, guests are usually treated to food and drink.
If you're not a subject of one of these receptions yourself, you go round to visit as many receptions of friends and acquaintances (and not uncommonly those of a number of complete strangers, as way stations) as you possibly can.
In areas where there are many schools, graduation is spread out over a couple of weeks for everyones convenience.
All this has the effect that if you're a reasonably sociable person, with a lot of friends (or, if you have no scruples and don't don't mind gatecrashing) there are at least a couple of years in your youth where you spend a couple of weeks each spring more o less constantly plastered from all this free drink (mostly champagne, which isn't at all bad thing in my book).
With all the celebrations on the Aerodrome these days, I'm somewhat reminded of this tradition.
Fortunately (at least for my poor liver) most of the drink here is merely virtual though.

Since He has so many medals he could have a standard bearer such as the ancient Romans. This could be his standard with the medals attached. Oh this is a Guntruck.
:salute: Congratulations Steve old chap. Very well deserved for all your contributions!
Better watch out though if you fly over to the US again you are sure to be over the luggage weight limit will all those Gongs!:cheezy:
Cheers and another well deserved metal. To the bar Ohio...

Well done, sir.
A cold beer to me, please...
I know what a guntruck is -- I've been arguing for some while the US needs to start building new ones (with upgrades -- Kevlar under steel for armor, and V-undersides for mine-resistance), instead of reinventing the wheel.Quote:

The South African ones, with some upgraded tech (better armor type, that sort of thing).Quote:
