Researcher 204146

I'm afraid that if you take a good look into it your defination of dogrobber is a b*****disation of the correct original.
The term Dogrobber dates back to the american cival war and refers to the soldier within a group who provided or scrounged food for his comrades by any means nessacary- hence the term dog-robber! obviously this has evolved with time within the military to become the broder definition to which you refer.
As a serving member of the forces this was a 'nickname bestowed on me whilst severing in the states due to my role as scrounger, petty theif and general provider of all things good for the crew with which i worked.

I'm afraid this researcher hasn't been around for the last two years so it's very unlikely you'll get a reply!

BTW Researcher 204146 a nice name and some info on your page would not go amiss.

Please click edit on 'your space' and write anything you think fit.

smiley - cheersIf you click on 'Who's Online' you can see the researchers names, clicking any of these will take you to their 'Space' where you can see what they have contributed to H2G2. There is no restriction to looking at researchers 'Spaces' and you can do so at any time (even if they are not on line). Feel free to join in any thread.

If you want to see how a page is constructed, replace the 'U' in front of the researcher number with 'testuserspace' e.g. U172782 becomes testuserspace172782 (on the address bar).
For entries just replace the 'A' with test e.g. test712595.
You can click on anything underlined and if you click on a smiley you will be instantly transported to the smiley page where you will see all the smileys you can use. Some of the smileys on my page are links, so clicking on them will show you some of my contributions to h2g2. I use classic goo (the original colour of the h2g2 site before the beeb took over)

Oops I made a boo boo!
You need to type 'testuserpage', not 'testuserspace'. So the URL you'll need to test Rocket Man's user page (for example) is -
