I have all the setup out and ready to rock and roll, the stewards are all smartly dressed and ready to go, the pa from the Tiki bar is all wired up, let the party start and the good times roll!

Keep it quiet, but all the gear is fastened to concealed lines, led to the winches. Four notches, and it will all climb back on board by itself. Just don't straddle the lines if things start to go dodgy.

First round is on me, come one come all!

Might be an idea to inviite some of the young nursing students from the local university -- give them a night out -- maybe we could even lure Red from her cabin to help us explain the lure of the sea.
You don't think that Red might warn the Student Nurses do you?

We're not white slavers, you know! Well, not all of us and not all the time. When it was said we could get more women on board with the help of clubs, the idea was more on the line of "The Book Club" than a shillelagh.

I've stood some mighty strange watches in my time, but never the 6 to 4.

Now I do have two young ladies who have shown particular interest in the chart room table -- I believe one of their name's is actually Mabel, so there is a possibility that a history lesson is in the works.

I'm sorry but all the piping I have is used on the gripewater still. Perhaps Tmac will oblige. I gather there is some for of ethnic almost bagpiping done in enemy occupied Hibernia with which he might try to entertain. If you get tired of it the piping can be used in 'receive' to stay him with foul local houch called whiskey.That is if not already occupied with a Black Bush

Sir William, I think PING is a foreign person invading your haven, perhaps after peeing in your Jacuzzi, Ms DOWNLOAD and Mbps (I take this to be Member of the British Pnautical Society) UPLOAD are perhaps helping her.

Have you tried switching it off and switching it on again? If you do it really quickly you may be able to destroy your hard disk or short out the bubble maker..

I hope this helps.

The quayside party went well and I think we all enjoyed it. Putting the winch on one notch, so that all the equipment slowly was gathered back on board, worked very well. I laughed as the revellers at the bar one by one fell in the dock when the whole shebang slowly moved on board.

TANNOY:All hands repair aboard -- quietly leaving tomorrow for parts unknown. (Under the official secrecy act, I can tell you that we are going to head into the sea of Japan for a bit of fun with Mr. Kim.) The plan is to serve him a full English breakfast, complete with black puddin' delivered by a guided muscle. We will be in stealth mode so he won't know from whence it came. Maybe ship him some Taedonggang beer to wash if down, and he'll wonder where the hell we got it.

6 to 4 ??? I assume these are the odds being offered on my chances FYI she was delighted to see the golden rivet but was even more excited to have the opportunity to give the knob on the throttle leaver a vigorous final polish

Stealth mode was indicated in post #962 -- about 24 hours ago -- mind you that used to be the amount of time to raise steam on an old Scotch boiler, I believe.

Please don't tell me that you've converted your Scotch distilling boiler back to supply propulsion needs??

Mind you, a bit cumbersome, but we could provide written requests delivered by scantily dressed young maidens if that would help? Maybe even throw in a crystal decanter pf Black Bush together with a matching crystal goblet -- raise the tone of the injun room a bit.

you are attempting sarcasm now I believe or just being facetious

NOW you are talking sense, certainly such methodology would guarantee an immediate response from the injun room of course being an injuneer one can see ways of improvement, 1, the maidens to be naked (except for safety boots) 2, requests to be written on Velum (oil resistant) and finally 3, while the crystal decanter, Waterford one assumes is acceptable the goblet to be 22 carat gold inlaid with diamonds.

Tmac, I thought you never drank from anything (even Lady's Slippers), that hadn't been riveted?

Oh, the slim turn of an ankle nestling in a safety boot!

the highly technically advanced geeks here tell me (from their tree nest) that my internet should be back to normal by Monday morning. Pain in the neck trying to do it on a cell phone.

anyway while I have this short spell ashore I am instructed to drive her ladyship to church today. Last time I was there it was not nice....Nice young boy's handbag was on fire and the older guy with ne nice dress was the only one who got a drink...barsteward was using a Gold Chalice too just to rub it in. then we had to have a tarpaulin muster for him...cheeky guy

Boy!! You drive a hard bargain! i must insist, however, that the goblet will only be encrusted on the exterior with diamonds.

The older guy in the dress is a heathen -- not only does his crowd buy the plonk which is at best of dubious provenance, but he even mixes it with water!!

Not only that, but the wafer biscuits don't even have any cheese or savoury toppings. Lousy host if you ask me.....
