To the pub I say....to the pub.

Shore supply connected Tmac. knock the genny off mate and come with us to Doolans bar. Pats, grab your bags, heres your new titanium card. take two cutouts with you for carrying. when you have all you need get the cut outs to carry it aboard and join us in the Pub.
Red-17, you may go shopping with Pats, she has a titanium card. get what you need.

I won't say no to the use of someone else's titanium card. Thank you billyboy, I'm sure Pat and I won't have any trouble spending your money. :D Where is Pat anyway, haven't seen her around for awhile, not since she went off to fit up Chef Rodney with his uniform?? Should we be concerned:confused:

yes they did rather take a shine to each other. Only ever had one romance between two members of crew (of opposite sexes) aboard here. well errrr ummmmmm the plastic stewards all seem to be married to each other aboard here. except one who seems to be a bit sweet on cut out No 10.

All lines forrard ashore and secured. All lines doubled up with triple preventers. Rat traps secured. Backsprings secured. Fenders rigged. Windlass and capstan secured.

Right, which way was the pub?

sniff sniff!!....That way! lets follow the smell of burning rubber from Toms sea boots heh heh heh

Seeing as you are intent on doing such a complete job, where is the sh1t shute?? Can't have any deleterious material splashing over the wharf, can we?? :eek:

Ah! Tarbender, I'd like a N1ggers Blood please -- yes 3 oz of Old Tawny Port in a pint mug topped up with draught Guiness. Puts hair on your chest and lead in your pencil that does.:D:D

Glad to see everyone here in the pub -- live music due to start any minute.

Too bad whoever wrote the lyrics doesn't know the difference between a barrel and a scupper!

(For those who don't know -- this is actually a Canadian group)

Galvanised buckets are ready at the gangway, Tom. :rolleyes:

I hope you have somewhere to write, Tom?;)

Needless to say I have not the remotest idea what billyboy, Farmer John, Thomas Alexander and their, quite obviously VERY long time, ship/SN mates are discussing but I can make a semi educated guess.


I hope I'm not leaving myself open to a repetition of 'past events' but I'll come clean and say I was quadruple DRd by http://www.shippinghistory.com/partya few years ago for politely posting a thread saying I would leave the site to those more interested in having slanging matches with each other than contributing constructive comment to the respective threads. Instantaneously I was 'man overboard' kaput. No warning, slapped wrist, just the complete opposite of "Hello Sailor". I am more than happy that an old pal, Captain J W Woodend suggested I joined this new forum and I am more than happy that I have been made to feel so welcome. SHe has the makings of a happy, well designed and well run SHip destined for a long and successful 'screen life'.

Are they Capt. Tom? I thought that they were all Irish but half of them lived in Canada, trouble is I cannot find out which half, top or bottom? :p I am now going to go to bed and even when I awake in the morning that song will still be going 'round and 'round in my head. Darn it!

Has no one welcomed you aboard? Shame on them. I'm sure they will though once they get back to ship. Behaving like teenagers rather than adults, but then who can blame them. They are a good lot, really they are :rolleyes:. Welcome Graham the pipe Smith.

set them up barmaid. drinks all round please.

Keep 'em coming barmaid... I'll letcha know when to stop... hic

Red-17... just in case you don't know.. Sir Wilhelm's titanium card is the sole source of funds for this merry band.. whenever he gets notices of significant expenditures.. I just hack into the card company's computer, funnel in the extra funds from the double-secret probation account that no one knows about except me... no worries... 'sides, someone's gotta pay for all the repairs for my whirlybirds...

Red-17. we have 3 helicopters (helo's, whirly birds, Paraffin budgies,choppers, egg beaters ect;) aboard. A small one, a medium one and a large one.
Talk nicely to to flying officer SSR when he's around and maybe he will take you to the Hanger deck and show you his large chopper.

Hic!...need another drink.

Well I'll chance another pint of Bass Charrington's draft Dark Mild, that'l be my 23 pint of the night, the only beer I know that makes you more sober the more you drink. In fact, I'm not even sure they still brew it.

Got to keep an eye open, someone told me what they do to the sheep here. I'd feel kind of responsible if anything happened.

I might need some funds ssr, I've just been offered a good deal on two pinball machines and the pool table from this bar's games room. Seems they don't need them anymore since they introduced kamikaze karaoke evenings. (Apparently, if the audience don't like your song, you have to commit hare kare.) I thought the machines and pool table would be OK in the Crews bar on the GD if Tmac's stabilisers do their stuff. If not, the pool table referee will have to keep his eye on the players balls. Hic.... more beer here.....

pool is a hell of a game in a force 8 Dartskipper. we actually have a table suspended on 4 chains somewhere aboard with footboard around it too.

ssr481, Standby for significant expenditures. The card is smokin'.

Good girl Pats....Go for it!...its only Money and SSR takes care of that

I like your style SSR. SSR? A type of drug, Symantec Security Response, Surface Search Radar, the list goes on, and on.........So, which are you?

Is this talking nicely enough to SSR billyboy? ;)

Danny Doolans
 

I've just been told that Danny Doolans won't be able to open again for another week. It will take that long to restock and replace tables, chairs, windows, bar.....and so on. I've also heard that the GD is barred from Auckland harbour for at least three years! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU LOT GET UP TO? :confused::confused:

we had a good run ashore Red-17...we had a ball. think we will have to slip port in silent mode about 2am. they think we are here for a few days.
