You'll get used to it Red --- it's kinda like pickled herring, haggis, yogurt, tofu and black pudding --- they all need an acquired taste from consumption (eating that is and not that horrible lung infection that beset so many years ago.)

[Red-17]

I like pickled herring, yoghurt, haggis and black pudding but cannot come at Whiskey. All the more for you and Varley and Tmat and billy boy and Butterfly, and whoever else likes to partake.

Mystery solved. Had a close inspection of the said garments and theres a strong smell of plastic about them. Told you some of our plasticos are a bit iffy.

Not an investigation I would undertake. You are a brave man, Sir William. You know I have tightened up some of the Plasticos behaviour, I may have to speak to them again.

Ah but can I be trusted to enter your boudoir?... that is the question

Again, thank you for the lovely welcome.

You are most welcome young lady, it was my pleasure in upgrading your facilities.

I shall treasure your gift of crayons, thankfully you were thoughtful enough to provide a large box as Squeek and Eric have eaten several already

Copious applications of Black Bush internally should produce a suitable amount of fumes to counter any oily niffs.)

OK boyo?

yacky dah bach... there's lovely isn't it?...... (will that do or should I revert to "bog" Irish?)

It wasn't our fault the bars ran out of victuals. They should have prepared for our motley crew of thirsty matelots with hollow legs. The legendary consumption of intoxicating fluids of all varieties by the crew of Golden Dreamer is known in ports all over the World. The Mums are only furious because we saw the daughters first. And yes, it will be nice to fetch up in Nee Zooland for a few weeks.

Is the local delicacy still Kiwi and chips?

Och aye, tha' noo. That'll be proper job cobber. Do 'ee 'ave a dish o' tay?

( A mix of every dialect will keep them all guessing I should think, so "bog" Irish, pig Latin or any other langwidge will be fine....)

I don't think I could manage a whole Kiwi. Some of those lock forwards have got loads of meat on their bones.

Well, you are partly right, the comment is not "That was the Crew from The Golden Dreamer", it is more "A volcano, a Tornado, an Earthquake, a Forest Fire, no, it was more impressive than that, we are all Tattooed with "GD"".

We are a force of nature.

Who finished the Marmite off and replaced it with Vegemite?

[Red-17]

Twas not I farmer John. Believe it or not but I don't eat vegemite, I only eat Marmite. There is at least, as far as I know, only one other Aussie on board the GD. Just saying.

Only you can answer that question Tmac but I am willing to take the risk.

And what pray would the locals be thinking of us two white women aboard the GD??? The behaviour of one crew member can reflect on all Skipper. (Says the voice of propriety) No doubt you all had a good time, but will you ever be allowed back in Tahiti.

When do we meet up with the polish sub to take on cargo or has the plot been lost?

[billyboy]

Anyone got any wax?....sub over there has Polish written on it.

Plot?...yes I have a plot 8' x 4'. its in the cemetery in Tagum city waiting for me (have to be prepared you see)
Cut outs! get the launch over the wall and load the gold bars in it on the double. Farmer john! take the launch over to the sub. forard end (thats the sharp end) and remember to bring me back the bankers draft.

"Says the voice of propriety"...............Finally.

[Red-17]

I give up, surrender, no one takes me seriously around here. billyboy and Mundrabilla are the only ones on, or near to my timeline. Maybe I will move to Iceland, at least that will put me in the vicinity to have a conversation with other crew members at a time when they are posting.

Oh dear, don't worry boys, I will be better tonight, promise. Yust a gurlie moment.

Never mind what the locals think of the only two females on board but what do the males think of/about the two females on board?

Never mind that! What did you do with the Marmite?????

[PatriciaAnnT]

Where are we? What kind of mischief are we getting into? And where are we going?

Sniff sniff Do I smell fried chicken?

Don't touch the stuff.
Here in the Colonies we only have Vegemite as you well know. Vegemite was stocked up in plenty in Tahiti but had to use some chips off a gold bar ex the Polish sub (hope no one will notice). It does seem, however, that few here on GD are likely to use Vegemite. Plenty time left on the 'use by date' however. Must keep up my salt levels here in the heat of the ER nevertheless.
Leave the Marmite for the Motherland. Wouldn't even use it for engineroom lubrication (unlike the RAN on HMASs Canberra and Adelaide). Two useless vessels named after two beautiful but otherwise useless cities.
If you fulfil your threat to visit Melbourne today you won't need your bikini fur lined or not it is 14C rain, hail and freezing south wind. Fur coat more appropriate (fake fur, of course) as we need to protect the rat population.

I'm not fond of either. Can I have peanut butter?

[YM-Mundrabilla]

Sorry, we have no peanut butter in stock. It has been replaced with Vegemite. Peanut products have been banned because some people have allergic reactions which we don't want especially at sea even though Red-17 and/or Sister Eleff could save us should this occur. Apart from that there are millions of hungry monkeys in the world who have more need of peanut butter to spread on their bread.
You could, of course, plant some peanuts in your garden and make your own illicit peanut butter assuming that there is sufficient scientific capacity in your lab.
