Close up, HMS Victory. Note flags, signalling Hello, sailors.

Frigates remain to be done, of course.

But otherwise it's the whole Trafalgar fleet, barring the HMS Bluddy Foreigners, snails legs in garlic, topless beaches, who won the bloody war, send 'em back where they came from, which has been expunged from the history books in our more PC age.

Ocean is Chinese silk, by the way. Not as good as Thai, but cheaper.

Anybody wants some, I can probably get it pretty cheaply for you. It's not the real thing, so it won't do to win a lady's favours, but as a gaming cloth at 400 baht for three metres, it's a good buy. That's $13 and a quarter, btw, or £10.13.

Note to F.K  - make sure Lee commands the British fleet, as we don't want the French to win such a history defining battle.   ;D

Thank you. Ummm...you've missed the soup, fish, game, poultry, red meat, sorbet, second red meat, pudding, and savoury...there may still be a bit of cheese and biscuits, and coffee is still to come....

In my defense this appeared in my "unread posts since last visit" section, so i read the thread without checking the date of the thread.  #-o
