Ironically, the St George thread eclipsed on the 20th October 2005 - on Traflagar eve and what commenced as a casual thread, ended up being the second most read thread on here. But more importantly, it was a friendly thread with never any idiotic nastiness, attracting many nice and interesting people. It concluded at the beginning of Trafalgar week, so I shall end with two Trafalgar quotes. First from Napoleon:= "Wherever wood can swim, there I am sure to find this flag of England" And so it was.
And to the fallen of the day, the second quote:- The spirits of their fathers Shall start from every wave; For the deck it was their field of fame, And ocean was their grave.
So the St George thread ultimately became the vehicle for friendly general discussion on any subject. If anyone wishes to continue on this theme, I will comply with pleasure.
