Unfortunate typo: that should be 'none', not 'nine'.

None, however I once went to a police station in Malasia to get a pass to sleep in jungle, believe it or not you were supposed to get one, and they said it would be OK to use one of their cells for the night. I declined and put tent up in the police station garden. One of the policemen thought it would be highly amusing to speak in Malay and bang his Armalite Rifle they all carried on the ground to scare me, ha, bloody ha!

It doesn't mean you're good if you've never been nicked. Just crafty.

...although I believe you have spent significant amounts of time in an ambulance.
I nominate Post 2 for 'typo of the year'. Brilliant.

"I nominate Post 2 for 'typo of the year'. Brilliant."
I second the nomination. "Unfortunate" indeed. It reminds me of the movie "The Wackiest Ship in the Army", with Jack Lemon trying to captain a sailing vessel. He gets a light signal message reading "You Are In a Fine Position". "Great" he says, then a crewmember says, "I don't think that's an "F", its an "M" ... 
And put me down for "none" (with an "o").
