Dear Lord Horatio Nelson

[sitsitsitonyou]

hahaha this is great

[nachopulp]

watch?v=iYxcyMC2cyU

[mrrmancunian]

PS: Is you cock hard?

[Horationelson4ever]

LOL

although being a Nelsonian I can find ridiculous amounts of stuff to criticise here lol

but this is quite funny

[magroowosere]

Magroo wos 'ere

[PartridgeInaPearTree]

No - see, you can't say it like that, because I"M an American but I knew that. No, that's a PERSONAL issue there. And so we're clear - plenty of '"Yanks" across the pond here look up to this guy as well.

You silly, silly brit.

[yargpirates]

This means WAAAAAAAAAAR!!!

No, I'm only kidding. Please, no British or American bashing.

[WelshWizard3]

Nelson did not command L'Orient to victory at the battle of the Nile. L'Orient was the French flagship which exploded after a shot penetrated her magazine.

You silly, silly yank.

[Wyllydejerez]

See Nelson in Santa Cruz de Tenerife´s War, Cartagena de Indias, and a large etc...

Your historians liked show only you the victories...

[WelshWizard3]

No, our historians like to show us the substantial, war-changing engagements of the period they are experts in. Brief, strategically unimportant skirmishes are generally forgotten by history.

Hence why Nelson's failed attempt to cut out a Spanish treasure Galleon from Santa Cruz is not well known: it had no long term consequences whatsoever.

In fact, if Nelson had not been present, no one would remember the assault. a

[BritishBlue1]

Thanks, you got a laugh out me, especially the part were you sabre your "spanish" and "french" friends to death!

You seem to know a fair bit about Nelson, not many you can say that for in this day and age.

[killyrboyfriend]

My friend who is English found this offensive for some backwards reason. I have been laughing hysterically nonstop. You cannot please everyone, we all have different measures for what is kosher and what is not. I dunno, this is one of the most brilliant videos ever, very well done. HIGH FIVE!

[mrrmancunian]

What in fucks name is this?

[emsil003]

a brittish one.

[patsyd80]

so true about the french and spanish. the devil incarnate

[RelaxItsJustAFlare]

@patsyd80 I'd say in Britain although we 'hate' the French, they are one of our most respected nations. They're obviously going to have their own ideas, but behaving like sporting and civlised human beings is all you can really ask of another country. That feeling that someone just knows what to do without having to have the reason explained to them is so valuable in this day and age with all these fucking babies running around calling themselves people.

[bhite41]

Nelson was the original "rockstar" , this guy was a party animal who fought like John Belushi on steroid and fucked aristocrats' bitches and royalty around the globe. Wish he would have found more cocaine to go along with his rum habit, would have made served him well. Partied with him hard in Antigua and Italy. Rock on Horatio!!!

[eddyg545]

@bhite41 You have a very odd perception of horace

[yargpirates]

Ha ha ha ha, yes, it's amazing how many people claim to be related to Nelson. I'm sure he would have laughed his other arm off at the notion. XD

[thevalkerie]

Many people are called nelson even though they are not related to him by blood. The nelson family "adopts" orphans they think are "worthy", I for one think their methods of training children is a disgrace to humanity, therefore I am not a Nelson

[yargpirates]

*sarcasticlap*

[draculapw]

dont dig his bones up dude! hahaha Im related to lord nelson to and i contacted sruzzosi! i am just wondering if he ment nelson or his crush.

[Sruzzosi]

I'm actually related to him :P

[xgocadiz]

Battle of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (1797)

A note sent by Nelson to the Spanish authorities demanded the surrender of all Spanish cargo and threatened with the utter destruction of the city and its citizens.

But after the battle this gentleman lose his right arm a quarter of his landing force and had to surrender to an inferior force made of militia.

UK, Horatio Nelson

4,000 regulars and sailors,

400 guns

Spain, Antonio Gutiérrez

1,700 regulars, militia, and sailors,

91 guns

[xgocadiz]

Actually just that little island had inflicted partial or total defeat upon other three English admirals

April 1657 the Roundhead 'general at sea,' Admiral Sir Robert Blake

In 1706, during the Spanish war of succession, Admiral Jennings sailed into Santa Cruz: beaten

The 3rd expedition, detached by Admmiral Sir John Jervis, also resulted in a tremendous failure.

Many other places such as La Coruna, San Juan, Vigo, Cartagena de Indias, Buenos Aires, Las Azores have similar stories.

[xgocadiz]

Spain beat Nelson: Tenerife, 1797.

Spaniard Gravina would have too. Inept Villeneuve was in command at Trafalgar.

Álvaro de Bazán and Blas de Lezo died unbeaten -and defeated moors and Turks, plus sometimes at the same time, French and English, Portuguese, Dutch, Italians... They belong to another class than Nelson.

[wills2222]

Good Job distroying one of the greatest naval heros of our country yank! You should be ashamed. This man gave his life to ensure Napolian would not conqure Europe and enslave many people. This was just sick!

[EpistlesofPaul]

Are you kidding? Some of my best friends are faggot Brits

[tattoodprincess]

wow...how very Stan by Eminem....just...with class lolz

[WindupAtheist]

I LOL'd.

[Youngandwilde]

hahaha! i saw this link in a livejournal community who loves dead people (like! XD) and i love this video to no end! lol!

[bozzio11]

Lionel..the Great Man would be proud of ya

[xgocadiz]

My respects from Spain: but Spain beat England inn more battles than viceversa. You just forget the ones you lost (only took Jamaica from us)

SEE: BLAS DE LEZO, BATTLE OF CARTAGENA IN 1741

TRAFALGAR WAS LOST DUE TO FRENCH INCOMPETENCE. NOT A SPANISH BATTLE: IT EAS NAPOLEON´S WAR (SPANISH PEOPLE REBELLED AGAINST HIM 3 YEARS AFTER TRAFALGAR)

[WhoDaresWinzz]

SPAIN SUCKS

[Goathead82]

Are you serious? lol

For starters, Carteagena wasn't a naval battle.

Jamaica?

What about when the Royal Navy captured Cuba in 1762? Gibraltar in 1704 (still British to this day)? Minorca in 1708? etc, etc ,etc... untold victories in the Seven Years' War, Napoleonic wars?

You're delusional, my Spanish friend.

[xgocadiz]

Some Spanish Victories over Brits:

England, 1391; Ponta Delagada, 1582; Puerto Rico, circa 1590; Coruna 1589; Carlos de Amesquita, 1595; Cartagena de Indias 1741,

San Juan de Ulúa 1568,San Agustín 1740 ,Azores 1597,Baton Rouge 1779,Pensacola 1781,Fort Charlotte 1780, Tenerife, 1797Brión, 1800; Buenos Aires, 1804...etc etc

[xgocadiz]

and all while AT THE SAME TIME fghting moors and turks... and half of the planet. Spain always had 1 arm tied behind her back.

in youtube tercioss has 7 videos of Spain´s victories over England and Britain.

[xgocadiz]

*Battle of Ponta Delgada

[xgocadiz]

napoleonic wars????

Battle of Bailén: 1st defeat of the Grand Armée by an all Spanish army!

[xgocadiz]

you tube: Blas de Lezo, sea wolf

[xgocadiz]

never captured gibraltar: it was obtained through a treatise. Defended well cause

it´s easy to defend.

See: Drake-Norris expedition (1589)

Study: Blas de Lezo, Bernardo Galvez.

Cuba, Montevideo: kicked out.

[Goathead82]

LOL I admire your passion, xgocadiz.

Gibraltar was captured in 1704 by Admiral George Rooke RN.

Ludicrous to suggest that Gravina would have defeated Nelson at Trafalgar.

You give examples of minor victories, mostly repulses of invasions of Spanish colonies. These 'victories' didn't have any wider implications in the wars that they took place: Nine Years War War of the Spanish Succession War of the Austrian Succession Seven Years' War American W o I Napoleonic Wars

[Goathead82]

The British were the only victors of the Second Hundred Years' War (1688 - 1815), not Spain.

[xgocadiz]

Castilla-France won the Spanish succesion War in 1700 against Austria-England

goathead: in 300 years Britain only took Jamaica. Gibraltar was through a treaty

Google: Drake-Norris expedition

Google: Bernardo Galvez

No nation has a military history like Spain´s: fighting 32 nations and races at the

same time

Spain defeated moors and the Turkish Empire, allie of England and France

Google: Spanish Tercios, Gonzalo Fernandez de Córdoba, Alvaro de Bazan, Don Juan de Austria

[xgocadiz]

Well Gravina adviced Villeneuve to delay entering combat. Spaniard´s history at sea: not the French.

[jonnybottle]

Don't get hung up about minor defeats and lost skirmishes: the British - and esepcially the royal Navy - have a great trick: winning the final battle. That's what really counts.

[jed371]

@xgocadiz gibraltar was captured by english and dutch marines, the treaty was ten years after it had already been captured

[amilon1899]

Dearest Lionel,

I truly love your video; I haven't been laughing so hard about a video for a very long time XD

Yours sincerely,

amilon

[yargpirates]

My God... that's me I'm that obsessed... Lol!

A very funny video, thank you for sharing it. I'm quite a fan of Lord Nelson and this had me rolling over in fits of laughter. 'I wish I could help you more, but I was killed in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805'... Omg, yeah that's it Nelson, you just make out you died to get away from this scary Lionel character. Lol! :D Ace.

[brendan498]

Hey Lionel

goood video

Im in the Royal Navy and currently posted to HMS Victory which yes is the real ship he was on.

Dont know why they never recrited you to the RN as i was thick as well

Happy sailing keep smiling

brendan

[wombartos]

Dear Lionel

I dont think you should attempt Teh Comedy video's.

You suck at it.

You are not Funny.

signed

Lord admiral Horatio Nelson.

P.s. Enjoy the Ass-raping you get in the U.S Navy.

[CapitanDice]

Jajajja, genial

[RupertBirkin]

haha that was well funny, id imagine there were a few fans that went a little off the board in the past!

[WhoDaresWinzz]

I LOVE LORD NELSON

[jamdn1]

wow cheers u up so much after a depressing day

[katewilliamsx]

Very funny. Nelson had no son and he was disappointed in his stepson and nephews, so he did engage in intense fan relationships with young sailors. But they were normally about fifteen....

[thiscoe]

Nelson joined the navy when he was twelve - so I think your a bit too old now. Er and also - thats the Royal Navy. Good effort though

[puabi]

hilarious

[Goathead82]

You got Nelson's accent all wrong.

[linguisticsquirrel]

*gigglefits* omg...

[loveyk]

he he he

[Steampunkgirl]

Loool!
