I would imagine Smelly would have a lot in common with kaffir killer els ROFL

the blott books are good as well, much funnier than the TV adoptions.
some of the character names are fantastic.

I've never read any Sharpe but by pure chance I d/ed a audio book by him. The Throwback which I'll listen to over Christmas. Has anybody read the Flashman series by George McDonald Fraser.....great reads and plenty of them.
