Re: Changing of the Flag
2 black balls Cappy is a vessel not under command, so mr. Balls is aptly named as halfway there already. 3 Black balls don't think there was a signal , but probably now is one specially made for present day shipping. Now if had been white lights would have been towing another vessel where the length of tow measured from the stern of the towing vessel to the stern of the last towed exceeded 600 feet. The tow being all the hard up people of other nations crowding the uk for their rightful handouts. JS . Got to keep it nautical Cheers

Re number 32.
One could call it the Muppet Show if you add Kinnock the windbag who blew himself into oblivion. Only a fortnight ago he was praising up Milliband. He also said that he doesn't want to live in a country which "isn't run by normal human beings". We tried it once he says, she was called Margaret Thatcher. I think it's about time this "Pillock" added some sugar to his grapes.
FOURO.

Re: Changing of the Flag
Ref. the misinformation put out #13. Shows what a bad education can do. Was not that learned person who shouted Eureka, apart from Cappy who shouted the same, was Pythagarus when he found the square on the Hypotameus ( hippopotamus) was equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides. Cappy was looking for something different and he also found it in the bath the same as Archimedes. JS
