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.

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.

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

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.

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."

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

Alas this was my downfall ...

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

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.

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

So has one of the sheep.

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.

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.
