Who locked him up? How long did the Judge give him? Why wasn't I told?

Protest march around the upper PX lounge this evening at eight bells. Bring signs, placards and empty glasses.

If you all bring empty glasses, I will fill them. The natural accumulation that we have aboard GD II has built up since all our female crew have left (very sadly missed, but, to be fair, some bad behaviour has driven them away. That and common sense).

Please, can we sign up some new female crew? Free tours of the less secret parts of the Injun room can be organised, just don't wear a white boiler suit when Tmac is around.

Wa hay!!...Back on line again!

Empty glasses? Roger that. Lets see Farmer John refilling tham heh heh heh

Who locked him up? How long did the Judge give him? Why wasn't I told?


Judge Jeffreys locked him up along with :
Gran Duque d'Alba and Pedro Ximenez.
The good news is that Jim Beam, John Jameson and Shirley Bassey are still at large.

Old Peculier of Masham was released some time ago. Very good news.

working hard polishing the golden rivet :chuckle:

Dear merciful God, to see this amazing picture is truly staggering, an Injuneer (apparently) working!

It could be a miracle, but more likely a mirage.

SHADDUP !!!!! ungrateful varlets.... just you wait until the power goes off in the accommodation, HA! we will see who has the last laugh while you shiver in the dark...:mad:

Tmac, you know we honour your competence and marvel at you sagaciousness and perspicacity. Your efficacity and erudition are bywords in every sleazy bar where dirty boiler suits are permitted.

whilst I am happy for a bit of comeraderi i think not to push ones luck too far with the engineering staff. they are after all are the ones who provide us with all the comforts of home (except mum of course).
They are also the finest afloat.for which one is truly gratfull.
Steward
! a case of BB to the funnel suite if you please.

Scaling the girth of the boiler suit against the crankweb deflection and taking into account the whiteness of aforementioned boiler suit I can only deduce the wearer is Mr. Varley.


ps Billy, have I won the Sweep you were running?

Sir William -- I believe E S has indeed won the sweep (I assume you were raffling off the one used to propel the paint float around the waterline when we clean the boot topping??) :)

correct Farmer John. Congratulatio0ns to our worthy winner...ES

Think Plastico made a good job of it

My girth was usually contained with a Sears tool belt. And does this look that white to you?:

(Self,'Foggie'&Rab Houston)

May I pass Sir William's misdirected congratulations to you, Tom?

I'm sure that was intended as a compliment but as I is a 'umble inguneer I didn't understand a bloody word :chuckle:

Don't worry Tmac, I copied them of the back of a cornflakes packet. I have no idea either.

Not using Persil then David

I always thought a sailor boy should use Tide. Anyway back from the smoke, join me for a Cuban out on the all weather sun deck to go with a drop from the port port tank if remaining uncontaminated with Guinness or Hibernian Black paint stripper (aft of the funnel, of course).

Good job it's an all weather sun deck as there's an 80% chance of rain this afternoon along with strong thunderstorms.

Ladies come with me -- our PAX lounge is air conditioned and is extremely comfortable -- and with a well stocked bar, of course. :)

According to the Azores on 22 Megs the local forecast is for a fine day with zephyrs. Where were my manners. I should have waited for the ladies to withdraw before suggesting a cigar.

A fine day with Zephyrs? Aren't they just a slidy front seat with a a column change? Not a style I admire, but not a common beast. Bags I the blue one.

Zephyrs - don't they have a red one?
Oh, it's in the workshop with some loose teeth in its box! Lucky that the teeth are still in the box they might come in handy sometime. Perhaps Tmac can fix it. Sadly, the yellow, green, white, black and the other two blue ones are also in the workshop with misaligned teeth.
Just be careful on your excursion in the Zephyrs that your teeth do not get loose in the box enroute.
Perhaps Tmac could do a test run for you if that blonde bird is available at the time.

YM-M, I was going to ask for the red one, but I felt asking for a red one might get me regarded askance by about 75% of the GD's crew. So I asked for the blue one.

Be careful which shade of blue you choose FJ. The pale blue is officially called "pompadour blue." A bit "plastico" n'est - ce pas?

No, no. Zephyr is a nautical terms to do with which way the smoke goes after it leaves the chimbley. Like Zodiac, the thing they point the ham bone at around noon.

I'll take the green one -- just like an old buddy of mine had -- 1959 - 6 cyl. engine with lots of "poop" for those days, "Three in the tree" for a gear change, standard steering and standard brakes.

Made for some memorable camping/pub crawling down to Hastings and Brighton to terrorise the local maidens. :)

Tom what sort of people did you mix with? Gentlemen or Ladies or Maidens would not Poop in anyone's car, how did you clean the mess and get rid of the smell? The casual way you introduced it makes it like a bit of a cult, was drink or drugs involved? I think it may be a bit of a fetish after sex, Hitler, it is said was a big fan. 1959 in Brighton, what a year. We hope you used a French Letter or Aspros from the top shelf as they were popularly known by.
Please ask your current crop of Tarts not to sh1t in the Smokeroom or bilges but to use the Lavvies or crap on deck. BB are you sure our old shipmate is officer material???

Oh absolutely ES. Fine navigator too! always saves a maiden me as well.

I think you miscall Sir W, E-S. He meant it went like shit off a shovel not that one had to shovel it to get it to go.

Happy to see he meets all your stringent requirements.

The vacuum powered wipers were a load of "poop", too. Especially when ascending one of those big lumps in the road on the way to Brighton. "Camping" in Brighton is very de rigeur these days.:big_tongue:

Blue Funnel blue I think would have been used if the Ford Company had been a little more nautical.

Mine will be Blue Funnel blue.

He has never been unable to speak for himself before, I fear the other vessel may have suffered a blackout as his transmission stopped midpost. Perhaps they are now taking to the boats and breeches buoy as we speak. Perhaps Ssr might pop over to see if we might give succor? Or is that the lovely smell of warm paraffin I can smell already?

I mixed with only the finest people -- weeknights playing solo whist whilst consuming Kentish cider out of a one gallon stone jug, The car was always pristine, as it was the modus operandi, if one was so inclined, after over consumption of spiritus fermenti, to wind down the window and vomit outside the vehicle. What an insult to use the term "French Letter" in the singular - the minimum inventory on hand was always a "packet of three"! :bounce::bounce:

Indeed TA.
As my Barber used to say, A packet of three for the weekend Sir.
It is well known, and much talked about, that a man of your virility buys them by the gross and demands XXL.

Always on hand? Sounds as if you might have been.

Oh dear I hope this is not happening on here. I did notice extra vents on the engine room skylights.
