Dear goodness, do we still have whirly bits? I thought we sold those off to make copper bracelets.

Ah Tmac, come on in and sit down. Steward! whatever Mr Tmac wants on my tab please.
Nice to see you found time to visit then bar Chief. We dont see much of you with all you have to do down there.
Local ladies dance team comming aboard in about an hour to give us a culturasl dance display. Should be good to watch

Tmac, perhaps you should get your hearing aids checked?? I think we mentioned that the injuns were in the HULL. So it follows that, as long as you are aboard, you are always in HULL, no matter where the HULL is.

Anyway, welcome to the bar - please avail yourself of all the fine drinks, tab nabs, finger food, etc. Girls along shortly (or should that be grass skirtly??) :hippy: :hippy:

Hull? Might explain the smell of fish but I would have thought a bit chilly, yet, for anything but long-jills, gloves and galoshes.

Mini bus aproaching alo9ng the Quay. Might be the dancing girls lads!

My hearing aid works fine, except when people try to tell me it's my round in the bar.:pint:

As for the nomenclature "HULL" us injuneers refer to it as the outside bit next to the water wot is outside on the other side of the inside bit where we is :big_tongue:

Just wait some smart arse will start up an argument over the "shell" rather than the "hull" with the above deck bit being the "superstructure" rather than "deck houses" :yawn:

Ha! Naval Architecture 101, at Belfast Tech.

Circa 1890 AD.

To misuse a saying from somewhere, you will tell me next this damn ship is hollow.

It's only Shell if it isn't BP, Esso (Exxon), Gulf, Texaco, Amoco,Trident, Hunting's etc. etc.


Anyways, them Injuns in Hull serve up some terrific curries. When you get back on board it would be advisable to hoist International Code "B".

No open ignition allowed !!!

In that case. AF TR YU (see 1931)

Tmac, you are an engineering genius, has anyone every patented a pair of breeks incorporating a gas mantle portion?

To fully research this problem, maybe the Humphrey Davy trousers should be considered.

It is a case of where the explosive atmosphere is located, except when you consider it, it isn't. A lot to be thought of here.

It's late in the day here, but please join me in the PAX lounge to celebrate Uno de Mayo -- we do in the Northern hemisphere anyway. The reason for the holiday is encapsulated in this simple poem:

Hurray! Hurray! The first of May,
Outdoor lovin' starts today. :bounce: :bounce:

Marconigrams cost extra when abbreviations are used. The more money to Mr Marconi and his wee wanes the less is available for Mr Gordon and Mr Jameson.

Not so. Secret language by radiotelegraphy was prohibited by regulation but code was not. It would seem to be a lot of bother to be about to produce an International Code of Signals that was not to be used. Rather like a write only memory.

As for Mr. Jameson (and similar thinners) bunting remains dumb (although there is a general ATL for alcohol. This follows ATK for Albanian, I am not sure if there is meant to be a linkage. There is one for Irish (man/men) as well.

I imagine the following hoist was seen off your sunlight shores without HXA.

Where is the hospital? In trouble with. Irish (man/men). Irregularity. Head. Alcohol. Intoxication

Do you need boiler water?

Hello ! What a beautiful young maiden. Oh! You don't speak English, nor Hawaiian, only Tongan ???

Brilliant !! (The first minute of this explains why Tongan is such an interesting language.

Wonderful how they got their Tongues round their music what?

Must say the dance routine was very nice...... Drinkie dear?
Come try my private bar in my suite its quieter in there.

Some Madeira?

why the hell would she want some cake?...:confused: take the young lady to the bar for a libation or three. :pint::pint:

You never know your luck, I understand these dusky maidens are partial to a nice Black Bush :thumb:

It's so very much nicer than beer. (At least, I believe you have a beard you can stick in her ear hole -- I'm clean shaven) :(

Holes? I am afraid it's the effect of the gin...……...

Now I know why they originally called these the Sandwich Islands ----- here I am firmly lodged between two adoring (and adorable) Wahines --- reveling in being the meat in the sandwich. :)

And like me, then you woke up!


"this morning I didn't wake up grumpy............................................ .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .............................I let her sleep on!

Tom, are they waiting for you to go off?

careful...It may turn into a back to front spit roast.....LOL

Thai 'Ladies' in Sandwich Islands?

Already checked for appendages :) :)

Very good, Carry on number one!

Umm, where are we right now? I want to send a postcard and it seems silly to get it wrong.

Don't ask awkward questions. The naviguessers are working on that conundrum as I write this. :thumb:

Dartskipper, I am one of the naviguessers and a damn fine one too. I'm only looking for a clue.

You know, hemispheres, that kind of thing.

Ah, top, bottom, left or right? 'tis a puzzle, that's for sure. If the sun would come up soon and give us a clue, we could probably make an educated estimate.


Until then mine's a rum Collins please steward. Long. With ice and a twist of lime. No straws or little umbrellas, though.

We are still in Honolulu,having discharged our cargo of sand on Sand Island, We have also discharged our top secret documents and so are now rather "flush" having been paid in full.

Anybody got ideas as to where to go to next?? Maybe Sir William can engage our agents in a further profitable venture? Somewhere warm, of course. :)

Could we not determine the hemispherical locus of GD to confirm our present guess as to disport. We could knock up a punch bowl with a central gravity discharge port. Observation of the Coriolis effect on the main body of the libationary liquid would give us North or South. Which is more than I credit the ham-bone warriors with (Honolulu would be quite warm already if we were there). I rather think that payment was not the freight but more of a please go away bribe.

according to the Agent theres a possibility of a small party mini cruise out of BA to Miami. Said he will let us know later.

Right, the plaggys are setting up the bar and preparing nibbles (if you have ever been nibbled by one of my plaggys, you will have a scar to prove it), drinks are on me, let's drink our way along the optics.

Aquavit
Bols
Curacao

Those were easy. Someone take over, I've just drank three bottles of spirits.

What's with this Coriolis effect ?? Anyone who took 4th form physics would know that the bowl, when located in the southern hemisphere would be relatively upside down to a Northern location, and therefore the liquid would rotate in the same direction -- down, out and into some deserving seafarer's glass. :pint:
