a quote from rourke's drift.......

After the battle lieutenant Chard was enjoying a beer when a Zulu, who had been shaming death, jumped up, took a potshot at him, missed and ran off. The lieutenant, whose main characteristics were bone idleness and good humour, raised his beer bottle in salute and said the Zulu was a plucky chap and that he was glad that he had escaped.

what an old type hunting man..

that's what i call DOFFING THE CAP.......................
