Been monitoring this thread & laughing like the devil Mark.When you state Niner landing in Cherbourg,I pictured that scene in the movie "The Longest Day"where Sean Connery,as he's coming out of the landing craft & yells "Flanagan is back ,you dirty b--t--ds"But in Niners case,the doors of the P&O ferry open,Niner hangs onto the ramp,staggers,then yells-"Bimmington Wall is back"then proceeds to start tossing empty beer & wine bottles,lately consumed on the landing craft(in his case,the ferry).Just picture it.
