well, "Kiss me, Hardy?"

The British media at its finest. My favourite line... Though every inch of this story cannot be documented.

The British Navy is also the source of the well known phrase "having someone over a barrel".

Your average Hetero would chose to go to sea (for up to a year at a time) with an all-male crew (and a few cabin boys) wouldn't he?

I dont see why not. The whole of the army, navy and air force cant all be gay!

It seems a bit odd to be be speculating about possible abuse. It is as if people actively want children to have been harmed,and enjoy thinking about it.

" cabin boy's family claims " oh FFS !

"William 'Cookie' Cook, nicknamed 'Nelson's Boy', was just 10 when he served the naval officer during the Battle of Trafalgar". yeh in which history book was this?

Cook took the gifted telescope to Australia when he was shipped Down Under and it has remained in his family ever since.

figures...reminds me of that line in the Barry McKenzie film (written by Barry Humphreys) were a Hooray Henry asks Barry "is it true that there 10,000s of homosexuals in Australia ?" and McKenzie responds "nahhh that's just the publicity we put out to attract the Pommy migrants"

Audrey Burns (who looks like a man in drag) obviously bought that telescope at a garage sale and made up the entire story knowing pedophiles are "in" at the moment.

"This telescope is so rich in history it sends a shiver down my spine to hold it." said young Cookie to Horatio ...Cookie also reportedly did a good job of lacing Nelson's britches thanks to his small fingers.

It is surely a spoof? Monty Python through and through.

So why didnt say this 50 years ago ?

Poor hedda has been in the sun again !

Nelson-ologists (if there is such a thing) seem interested hedda ....

apparently some complete fool has posted a link to a website full of chatterers rabbiting on as though they know something (while others contradict them) as if this is proof of a claim.

This does sum up the state of the world at present..if it's on a website it must be true (as long as it confirms your beliefs, mistaken or not).

Good manners prevent me from saying who that fool is (although the words "in", "The" and "Know" come to mind). No not Andrew..a fool all in his own category.

# now settling in to watch a UK show on the Yeti. On TV- so must be true.

apparently the 'yeti' is a hybrid bear.

No love lost on this site at times! I like to think as a relative part timer here that I dont get the affection and "banter" flying between certain individuals, and that often you post these put downs from the same restaurant, before a group hug and taxi (or perhaps jk in baby car) home and ITK and Hedda put on their night caps and settle down under a shared duvet a la morcambe and wise for more affectionate banter, followed by tickle fights...?

No ... just confirms that there are people interested in discussing this matter (long before it appeared in one of your trashy tabloids).

Hedda always gets uppity when proved wrong (which is every time ... and why he had to change his name from Veritas, he was embarrassed SO often !)

Abuse never happens, honey! ... have you not heard? There's no such thing as a sex offence ... they are all "mistaken", "confused" etc !
