Could it be this handsome little moggie has drank too much fennec wine?

Maybe :-)

BTW, it reminds me the Admiral Lord Nelson, so maybe it was the cat of Lady
Hamilton.

Gee, sorry Victor,
that one whizzed over my head

Lord Nelson? wasn't he a (sea) dog ?

Victor:

I dislike replying here in rcsd - I have no other option it seems.

I tried to send the scans of Russian stamps you'd requested - every
tme I tried they got bounced back to me.

Sorry, guess you'll have to find another source for them.

Handshakes,

Dakota

Hope you read this post~!!!!!!!!!

Subject: ears looking at you kid!

The famous message from Lord Nelson to his men at Trafalgar.

http://groups.msn.com/Stamps/shoebox...oto&PhotoID=68

"Kiss me, Hardy"? :^)

Recommended reading: Trafalgar -- The Nelson Touch, by David Howarth. Often
sold as a boxed set with Waterloo -- a Near-Run Thing. About as good as
popular history gets. Used copies are readily available through the Advanced
Book Exchange, http://dogbert.abebooks.com I expect that wonderful
topical/thematic collections could be assembled for both Trafalgar and
Waterloo.

I expect that wonderful topical/thematic collections could be
assembled for both Trafalgar and Waterloo.

Yes, I would agree there Bob.
esp if one was allowed some of the more colourful "labels"
from dodgy countries.

BTW the flags read "England expects every man to do his duty"

When I was a naval tar, our poor unfortunate captain was a one Hardy
we always called him "Kiss Me" ......... behind his back of course ;0)

Amazing how all the nicknames last, every Clarke that ever joined
was invariably a "Nobby"

Rodney:

Which flag code did Nelson Use?

Using the standard International Maritime Signals

the message doesn't compute.
