Thank you. Just the type of thing the real Jervis would have done.
-
Jervis is interesting to write. He was ruthlessly efficient, and his distaste for aristocrats was well known. He is given credit for creating the efficient tool (fleet) that Nelson would use at the Nile and Trafalgar.
-
He's very adventurous, isn't he? You forget all the foreign dick. ;-)
-
Arthur is one of those men who always seems to have some bad timing.

Good points. You think I need more credible opponents. But here's the deal: the navy was somewhat insular, and that's where their power base is. Besides, Admirals are created based on seniority, not merit.
-
Howard is the quintessential RN Captain. Doggedly goes in and just blasts the enemy all to hell.
-
Just like nowadays. If you have a secure financial base, you have a lot more options.
-
You nailed it. Social equals, but far apart in age and naval rank.
-
I'm not sure if it's second base, but at least you're playing. If you think about home base as wild, monkey sex, well, I think you have a ways to go.

Well, you f**ked up. Join the club. All of us do that. What is so awesome is the way you've acknowledged it, figured it out, and now you're planning to not do it again. How many of us do the same thing over and over again and never learn? (answer: most of us) One of my colleagues told me that he'd never worked for an institution that wasn't willing to work him to death. It's up to us to put up walls and boundaries to prevent that from happening. I look back and think about the hours I worked, and I can't say that in retrospect it made much sense to push that hard. On the other hand, the memories and important moments that I cherish are those I spent with people I love.
-
LOL. Well, that does sum it up.
-
Well, I ended mid-battle, so that may explain why it seems short.
-
I posted the latest chapter with Georgia, just for you. We'll see how that is.

July 19, 2000 Claremont, OH Gathan We were sitting in Wally and Clara’s living room waiting for the limousine to come pick us up, and if it weren’t for Kristin, it would be really weird. She was amazing, the way she chatted Ma up, talking about all the stupid-ass knick knacks around the living room. I watched as Kristin turned the charm first on Ma, then on Pa, which wasn’t really that hard, since she was so smoking hot any dude would be charmed by her. Still, even her charm

I could just see the Captain of Illustrious commanding his ship forward despite the risks, full of resolve.

You're giving me 2 thumbs down for a threesome? LMAO.

You're right that Times New Roman is most widely used, and it may be easier to read, but personally, I hate it. I think that it's popular just because it's been used so much. Just because you see something all the time, that doesn't make it good. Kind of like Donald Trump. Still, I put it in there to see what you all thought, and who knows, if enough people like it, I may just use it.
-
Me? Evil? You really want to see evil, spend some time with Sharon. ;-)
-
I don't know...put a guy on a ship and send him off for years at a time...I think they could all be sodomites.
-
You're wise enough to know that those kinds of wounds don't heal that quickly.
-
You don't think Granger will be lonely, do you?
-
A menage a trois with Calvert and Travers. Won't happen. :-(
-
Calvert does seem to have a tough go, doesn't he? But he's so handsome, that makes up for it.
-
With Jardines gone, a good entrepreneur would use that opportunity to promote a line of large sized dildos.
-
I have to remember when writing this to let Winkler's cheeky side out more.
