Good to know that Viper. Most members of this forum of all ages have some interest in history. The Jokes forum seems a strange place to discuss it but I suppose here is as good as anywhere else. Roll Eyes

All you ever wanted to know about Admiral Lord Nelson.
http://www.nelson-society.org.uk/html/introduction.htm

This is HMS Victory - his flagship during the Battle of Trafalgar. http://www.hms-victory.com/
Preserved in dry dock at Portsmouth she is still manned by officers & ratings of the Royal Navy & is the oldest commissioned warship in the world. Whether you live in the UK or on holiday in this country try & pay her a visit some time. I'm sure you will find it interesting. You might even trip over that brass plaque & understand what the joke is about. Wink

PS. Not sure that would be possible as it's most likely roped off.

This is mainly to Hagar, Fretnstuff, Andrew. and

This is a BIG apology for my Nelson joke. I know this is the joke forum, but once a thread gets started it just shows how it can stimulate reaction. Wink

and that is what it is all about Grin

I thank you all for your comments and if I have helped in anybody's education, I am well pleased, you guys across the pond!! Wink

More jokes to follow....possibly with explanations following Grin

Well done, guys
Kind regards

Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson.....deceased

Please don't apologise for the joke Tony. It might be older than I am but the oldies always were the best - matured like fine wine. Tongue

PS. At least it gave me a giggle even if nobody else understood it. Cheesy

HMS Victory is hardly a boat old chap. She is a warship of Her Majesty's Royal Navy. Shocked

Is there a regulation that stipulates a commissioned ship has to be afloat? I could be quite wrong but believe that most RN shore establishments are also traditionally run as commissioned "ships".

Hi Hagar,

I think you are right. Remember HMS is Her Majesty's Ship, and all the shore stations are preceded by HMS.
For instance, RNAS Culdrose is also the home of HMS Seahawk if I remember correctly.

This is true, RNAS Culdrose is also HMS Seahawk and one of the Royal Navy's concrete aircraft carriers.

I think in England most people know who Nelson is even if they only know him as the dude on top of a columb in trafalga square. Grin

And Fretnstuff, regarding "bibble" I discovered today that a bibbling was school boy slang for six of the best. I am wondering if the two words are related. Grin
