Battle of Camperdown
 

@ Cornwallis:
You caught me there. But well, I donated my own spell checker to Kapitan some weeks ago...

And, by the way, I have deep admiration for the RN, just like many people in our navy. And I know the RN has admiration for ours too.
It's just that we think we are a bit better...
:D

People... people
No need to bicker...
Cant we all just get along!?
I know! lets all sing a song together... everyone knows..

Drunk last night, drunk the night before..
Gunna get drunk tonight like I never got drunk before..
For when I am drunk I'm as happy as can be..
Cause I am a member of the Souse family...

c'mon Abraham.. Drebbel... you know the words... :D

Battle of Camperdown
 

I can't resist such an invitation.
Here I go:

Drunk last night, drunk the night before..
Gunna get drunk tonight like I never got drunk before..
For when I am drunk I'm as happy as can be..
Cause I am a moderator of the Subsim family...

Now I check out to live up to the words of the song...
Cause if you don't keep your word you're utterly wrong...
I did it yesterday, I did it the night before...
I'll do it tonight and then once more...
:D

THe last two posts are spam as thet deviate completely from the topic!It was a scotsman who won at Camperdown and the prizes were assimilated into the Royal Navy.

Really? I didn't know that you were a moderator.

Sarcasm can be the lowest form of wit or somebody does not look at the names at the top of the topic page!Tak's post is also spam!
The battle of Camperdown took place shortly after the mutiny of the navy at the Nore.

Tlam's post is spam.That's at least five fritters I have seen already
.Duncan came from the Dundee area of Scotland.

The aftermath of the battle is discussed herehttp://www.wargamer.com/aos/camper-am.asp

Well, in Holland they say that being a drunk makes you an honest guy.
I've been trying hard to hide it for as long as I could, but I felt that by now, I might as well come out of the closet and give you the shocking news.
:D

Gentlemen you are spamming my topic!Where is John Channing when we need him?

It is no longer your thread it has been annexed by the Empire of TLAM. :|\

All hail TLAM and his glorious new regime! :rock:

Oh dear the colonials are revolting again and rebelling.Duncan retired from the sea after the battle.

From Simpsons episode 9F22:

Marge: Lisa, you got a letter.
Lisa: It's from my pen-pal Anya! [reads]
Anya: [voice over] Dear Lisa, as I write this, I am very sad. Our
president has been overthrown and
[voice changes to that of a man]
replaced by the benevolent general Krull. All hail Krull and his
glorious new regime! Sincerely, Little Girl.

Tak are you saying that TLAM is really a Simpson's two dimensional cartoon character?The flagship of the dutch admiral was taken in the battle.
