Take command Sir! - Decide the spelling you want and go with it. Your good work here should be applauded :clap:
3 cheers for Mr Bligh! :hatsoff:
Did give me an idea for a name for one of my Merchant ships. I may call her the "LadyJane Morris" in memory of this thread.
Rob.:wink:
@Chris, we all have a few we struggle with--my administrative-assistant has dyslexia and there are a few things that permanently elude her, like for some reason her brain is hardwired to spell "Sergeant" with two A's instead of two E's.
:)
That's very interesting DB.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the shortened version being Sarge.
Rob.
Not in the British Army Rob!
Inhabitants one, an old fart wargamer with a SGN frigate model in his collection, the old guy continually wonders how they spelt the name of the ship wrong :happy:
Ha, ha,ha. Love your short story answers Dave. :beer:
This shift in conversation is rather amusing. Reminds me of the "discussion" I had with someone at a recent convention I attended. How do you spell harbor, color, defense, maneuver, etc., etc. and so fourth (yes, I know it's forth). :wink:

I'm currently bi-lingual: American-English and Chicagoese. Sue and I are going to learn British-English before our visit to the U.K.
Here is an enjoyable video on the difference between U.K., Great Britain, and England.
Very enjoyable, watched both ( U.K., Great Britain, England and the U.S.) even though it gave me a headache trying to keep up with his speed talking (guess I've been away from Chicago too long).
Thanks Eric :beer:
I have just added the following name cards to my album at Captain Duff's request.

Thanks Rob,
Pluton is done and dusted replacing The Spanish Neptuno.
Scipion , HMS Implacable now just needs rigging, HMS BelleIsle needs spars and rigging, HMS Scipion needs anther Temeraire model, if I can get another spare may make the French ship Pluton also.... When will it end :)
I did not manage to post the cards on yesterday Chris, but we are coming down to Bristol on Friday, so I will drop them through your letter box on the way to Eileen's Neice's.
As to when will it end. When the supply of ships finally dries up.
I was looking for three to cut up for sinking hulls today and could not get one of each rate at any store I looked at. Some had all three, but not at reasonable prices.
Rob.
Dont forget Northumbria games and Battleground which were at Expo, plus I believe Spirit games also has some models. Also look on Amazon uk, I got a 74 for around £13
I had a look at Amazon Chris, and they seem to be farming out a lot of their products. I did not want to cop for three lots of postage, many of which were around £4. However, Northumbria seems a good bet. Can't imagine why they fell off my Radar.
Thanks for the tip off.
Rob.
I had a word with the proprietor of Northumbria games at Durham last weekend...

Which reminds me, someday I have to get the entire Potential Reprint List posted... just the numbers on SGN102, 104 and 105 are positively jaw-dropping.
