Time to head back to the GD gents. I think we did very well in that last casino we played - well Varley's selfie stick was great for looking at everyone else's cards!!! Night caps on the pool deck on me.

billyboy · #**1027** 4th July 2017, 10:21

Oh...Night caps!...O am all for that Tom. Make mine a large one please Steward.

Farmer John · #**1028** 4th July 2017, 15:34

Phew, lucky we turned onto a new page when we did, things were getting a little hot fo us. I knew borrowing that jeep was a daft idea, good job it drove itself into the deepest darkest part of the dock after bringing us home.

A little relaxing drink before bed? Don't mind if I do.

We know how dedicated you are Tmac, we have seen you resting your eyes for hours whilst playing at being a pig with occasional whistles.

I can see why you have to keep the lights on, there must be many furious fathers out hunting you.

Aye! ...but the'll never catch him. too quick for them see. Mind you I think he is running out of safe ports these days.
Reckon we should venture into some less visited ports

You can't take all the credit for that. You only turn the armarotor thingy in the stayput bit with the big three pin plug box. It IS usually your bit that forgets to do the that whirling bit but occasionally the breaker breaks or other eletrickeries beyond your ken are responsible.

billyboy · #**1033** 5th July 2017, 12:13

Shocking!!

Varley · #**1034** 5th July 2017, 14:09

Surely just enlightening?

Tmac1720 · #**1035** 5th July 2017, 16:37

I leave the vagaries of eltrickery to you David, like the old riddle "what's black and charred and hangs from the deckhead?"......... an injuneer changing a bulb

BobClay · #**1037** 5th July 2017, 17:50

A bulb ? .... a bulb ? ..... isn't that what a daffodil comes out of ? (it's a pretty weed, I'll give it that.)

Farmer John · #**1038** 5th July 2017, 17:59

Is it too much to hope that we can go over to flickering flambeaux? Not too good for H&S, but dramatic and romantic.

I think it is too much, let's go back to a guttering candle stuck into a barrel of gunpowder.

I think I have been having too much Yohoho.

Farmer John · #**1039** 5th July 2017, 18:01

We've just worked out we've been married for 46 years, not a landmark, but damn it, I have been lucky.

You reminded me of a night on the town many years ago, Tom. Mike had drunk more than his fair share, and decided to quit. After tripping over a few bar stools, crashing into the pool table, trying to push the door open instead of pulling it towards him, and finally ending up face down on the sidewalk, (yes, it was in the USA,) Bill remarked laconically that it was "A good thing that Mike was driving home, because he sure as hell can't walk."

BobClay · #**1041** 5th July 2017, 21:14

For some years I lived with a lady who ran a pub.

Alas this was my downfall ...

Farmer John · #**1042** 5th July 2017, 22:13

Anyone got any thoughts on unfrequented ports? These days, I suppose Liverpool might do.

Farmer John · #**1043** 6th July 2017, 16:59

Did I touch a sore tooth? It has gone awfully quiet here, just the sound of wind in the flag halyards and the lonely bleat of a sheep from someone's cabin.

Dartskipper · #**1044** 6th July 2017, 18:28

Sure it's lonely? One cabin steward has been conspicuous by his absence lately.

So has one of the sheep.

Farmer John · #**1045** 6th July 2017, 20:33

I suppose, if you have a flock mattress you can have loads of friends.

Any signs of fleece around the flies, we may have a culprit.

billyboy · #**1046** 6th July 2017, 23:29

Why its so quiet aboard?...Oh hello Farmer John!...been having communication problems so a little out of touch.
Steward!! cling a few bottles and glasses together. that normally alerts the crew.

If Red 7 finds a stray pair of mysterious sea boots in a quiet corner of the sheep pen, there may be some awkward questions that will have to be answered.

Well, good for you!! I assume you mean that after 46 years of marriage you finally got lucky?

Reminds me of the vicar addressing his parisioners -- trying to prove a point -- Asked them from the pulpit how many had sex every day -- a handful put up their hands -- followed by once a week -- again a fairly good show of hands -- then once a month -- and a few more raised their hands. Finally he asked "How about once a year" --- One lone fellow at the back started jumping up and down, yelling "Me, Me, Me". The vicar asked him why he was so excited -- to which the main replied (still jumping up and down) " Tonights the night! Tonights the night!"

I was heading for Chittagong, via Singapore, but I am open to any reasonable suggestions (Can just toss those crates of "Dog's Cocks" overboard -- no great loss and the bloke in Chittagong can probably make his own.)

I was going to suggest we could aalso stop at Phuket, but then thought that some would ask me to watch my language.

billyboy · #**1050** 7th July 2017, 13:09

Phukit! Ok Tom. I never been there. Heard some storys about girlie bars though. should be good for a visit.
