Found the Sodomy part

This should amuse the Hornblower fans on my flist. It's taken from Rum, Sodomy and the Lash: A Devon Lad's Life in Nelson's Navy

In June 1796 Blanche's captain, Sawyer, had been caught ordering young sailors to his hammock - 'Capt. Sawyer, having a fondness for young men and boys...'as Nagle put it in his 'Journal'. This became generally known. He also had discipline fall to an all-time low by allowing insubordination by his coxswain Mullins (one of those whom he had taken to his cabin) who openly called him 'a man fucking bugger'and accused him of having 'frig'd' and been 'frig'd' by two midshipmen and by John Friday, a black seaman, as a result of which he eventually lost control of the ship

Sound familiar?

Weight

jacqui_hw bought some scales today so we could weigh ourselves and keep tabs on our weight loss

I've put on 4lbs in the 6 months since the nurse last weighed me. Not great but I guess it could have been a lot worse

At least I can tell her I'm actively working on my weight loss when she tells me off

Hehe!

jacqui_hw is listening to the football on the radio on her personal stereo. I'm getting a commentary to the commentary. LOL

Doctor Who

I just caught up with the most recent episodes of Doctor Who

( Don't ask me about episode titles )

*g*

Further proof that Mum-Ra is the coolest. Not only does she fully endorse my theory that Archie lives but she also embraces her inner pirate

( Arr! Do you want some dinner? )

It's been a while...

STOP!

Hammer Time!
