Beat to Quarters!  Fire as she Bears!  Death to the French and Spanish!  Damnation to Villeneuve and Gravina!

In celebration of this great day, I will be stern-raking my neighbors house (he's Mexican, but what the hell) with two shot-put I stole from the local high-school.

Huzzah!

Jack "I was there" Nastyface
Now, the problem is, how to divide five Afghans from three mules and have two Englishmen left over.

LongBlade

Huzzah!

Kiss me hardly, but only if you're a chick!
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Steelgrave

Is it Trafalgar Day again already?!?! Time flies, my brothers!

Meh.  Would have been better if they had lined up some Crapauds on the receiving end and used canister instead of smoke-charges.

Well, the UK may lose Scotland and is facing budgetary issues.
Have you got any idea what lead balls cost?

There are Health & Safety issues with using lead, so we'll have to resort to an eco-friendly alternative.

Canisters of Pot Noodle? Or are there international treaties forbidding such a thing?

Captain ERGR Evans of HMS Broke came to mind at the thought of swingeing throws of pot noodles.

A survivor of Scott's doomed Arctic expedition.  (He came down with scurvy early enough to be sent back to base.)
During the Battle of the Dover Strait,   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Dover_Strait,
Evans' ship first rammed a German torpedo boat, and when he could not seperate the two ships, issued boarding cutlasses to his crew as german sailors (in best Hollywood tradition) surged onto the Broke's forecastle.
One of the crew later suggested the british success in repelling boarders was partly due to the galley messmen, who flung steaming mugs of cocoa into the mass of boarders.  (A clear violation of the Geneva convention.)
