Don't concern yourselves, I have set my plaggies to work, the best Tiki bar is going up, all drinks for all on my tab, the big 70 is here and there would be no better place and crew to celebrate it with. Food of all sorts will be served, but not Irish Stew, the recipe for my version died with my Belfast Granny.

Let wassail commence, and don't forget, it's not a real drink if your ears are still dry.

Cheers!! all the best to you Farmer John. Long life and good health!!

Here you go -- while the tropical night away with cool authentic Cuban music washed down with bottomless Cuba Libre (Make mine a double) :pint:

for all you stogie aficionados check the Havana at 1:23

Now the night has been whiled away, we are sailing for Virgin Gorda first thing in the morning at 11:30 hours. Full English in the PAX lounge for anyone up to it. :)

Sorry to report that Red is on temporary medical leave for awhile and undergoing some R & R


Our thoughts and prayers are that she makes a quick recovery. :)

I'll join you for breakfast Tom, but please don't mention waffles!

McC

Don't look at me. Talking at breakfast time is anathema and interferes with one's reading of the newspaper. I take it Sparkie takes the press?

Now look at the time! What IS it that I should be doing?

RED 17,[COLOR="Black"]Our thoughts are with you. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Will keep the champers on ice for your return.

Steward!... full English for me please and the usual Coffee pot and bottle of rum as well please.

Anything interesting on 2182 this morning Varley?

Real Sparkies only do W/T and tech. 2182 is for deck pussies.

I echo that, we are here if needed and can be left till wanted.

I am just going to have a chat with Varley about Deck Pussies.

Never mind the hot air. I'll expect someone up soon with a request to Interflorinate Red. I might even lend you my discount.

Real Sparkies also do Semaphore and pigeons. Modern Man does GMDSS. Took your eye off the ball there, me oul China.


More importantly, " Redser we're missing you already ".

Red,
We miss you. Take care and look after yourself. We look forward to your return.

Joining in the full English, but hold the chitlins and black puddin' on mine. Yes - that jug of tequila sunrise will be a welcome accompaniment.

Mr. McCloggie, please have us singled up for a 15:00 hours departure. :bounce_angel:

Tequila Sunrise and the Full Irish or An Ulster Fry with Tequila chasers really sets you up for a day's honest toil. But you must have the black and white pudding, squeamishness ist verboten.

Funny you should mention that. Irish friend has put consignment pudding (both) plus rashers in my freezer. I can only hope she intends to do another 'big breakfast'. I don't think it will be advertised as anything Ulsterish 'though despite Kells (of book fame) being located there. There might be something fizzy with it if it happens.

(GMDSS is for deck pussies as is the 'light'. Semaphore and pigeons are only for the amateur lot although I can send morse by semaphore - or I could when the shoulder bearings were as well oiled as the rest of me).

Oh! my goodness -- not that verdammt sauerkraut again? :confused:

Virgin Gorda?...Never tried that but happy to give it a go Tom

Oh yes, permission granted Tom. Do carry on my good man. Errrr maybe we christen another bottle of Four Bell's while you plan?

GD definition : to christen , to drain with a satisfying gurgle.

We can do that.

I believe the proper name for the office is baptism. On GD the difference is that we do not pour it 'on' whilst casting spells but 'down'. May I join you, I have some Lambs Gravy to contribute?

You are most welcome Mr Varley. Pull up a Chair. Steward! another glass for Mr Varley if you please.

What, so he gets two glasses? no-one on the GD goes anywhere without a glass, then you give him another.

The man deserves it!
