Well, well. That stiff neck stopped you from rowing over earlier eh?
Never mind, the bar's in the same place. |
Welcome on board Laurie, it's great to see you made the jump. The path to the bar is well trodden now, just follow the worn deck paint!
Roy. |
What kept you?
You will also, no doubt, be delighted to know that there is at least one 'joke' thread - where you can test the endurance of the Groan-o-meter. http://www.shippinghistory.com/showthread.php?t=53 |

Do you know Peter Ridyard, a Lloyds Engineer Surveyor from Southampton ? He made headlines when his son was lost in the sinking of Bibby Line's M. V. " Derbyshire. " He claimed the ER bulkhead had collapsed. Seems he was a long lost cousin of my father's. You didn't say " Ho- de - ho ! " !!! Laurie. |
