Depends. The dilettantes tend to split, ruins the hole night (anyway, I was talking gin and you know what Flanders and Swann sung about that).

A bit of a limp excuse, that.
(One of them? Easy to tell, one was in a wheelchair. Oh, well I suppose it's time for an afternoon tale. Pa was also a polio cripple but got about on crutches whilst Michael Flanders was wheelchair bound. Both were unslim and wore full sets. One evening in the Leather Bottle (Warlingham, Joe and Edna Cotton presiding) where Pa was a regular an unknown Gent misidentified Pa as the entertainer. Pa had to make strenuous efforts to put the persistent fan right. Pa was sure the chap thought him a liar when Pa later walked out on crutches).

It was decreed some time ago that the ER was out of bounds to the lady passengers due to the secret machinery and other things located there.
How is it that ES has emerged from the dark and is swanning around with a group of ladies? I now see that the ladies are enjoying the sights only to be seen in the Engine Room (with Tmac's specific approval apparently). Don't know what they expect to see down here as the only unusual sights that I have seen are short skirts climbing steel ladders.

There's so many flute players in NI that one of them had to be good.
Pity about the name, he should have changed it to James South Antrim. As I ask at this time every trip, *Billy Boy where the hell are we*? I don't want to go back up there to take sights, going on watch in a clean shirt is alien to me. Last edited by Engine Serang; 9th February 2022 at 21:21. Reason: Alzheim I think.

As an aside I think I saw one of our old shipmates, Mr McCloggie, hanging about the quay wall studying ships and drawing funnels in a wee notebook.
Billy invite him onboard for a snifter or two when we get to PORT SWETTENHAM. He will entertain us all with his banjolele.

Tmax is not ignoring you BB, he's stone deaf from beating seven bells on that infernal drum.
Eminent psychiatrists have commented on the connection between playing of the Lambeg and the working class credentials of the drummers. Could it be a deep seated self loathing for the fact they did not go to public school and thus neither took or administered sound thrashings, sometimes called a birching. Perhaps our ambassador to the court of St Mona could comment.

As long as he keeps it politically correct as always......
Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." It also allows for the distortion of truth and fact to promote political gain and rationalize all acts to further the cause of those pushing an agenda not shared by the majority
