might need new tyres for our wheels Red-17. I have a bad back so cant lean enough to check. Wheels, of course, how do you think we get along when the tides out.
now, if you lean over this rail and look down maybe you can see the wheels. (heh heh heh)

Yes -- still skating in Pittsburgh.

No -Washington senators different -- but the British did a number on the Whitehouse back in 1814. Also, please let it be known that it was the Canadians who invented basketball, and modern ice hockey,

It seems the Washington senators are in a semblance of disarray at present. The governmental Ottawa senators are in a state of dissemblance over one of their number apparently having a penchant for a very young girl.

Having said all that, remember there is nothing wrong with incest as long as you keep it in the family! :wink::wink:

As it is getting colder here in Invercargill, and the fact that we still have a cargo aboard to deliver to Taiwan, we will sneak out of the harbour at some time tomorrow morning, after a full English, accompanied with hot rum, lemon and honey (good for all sorts of ailments).

Would all departments please ensure that we have all hands aboard and that they have paid in full all their bar, bordello, shopping bills, etc., so we will be welcome back here again at some time in the future. :egg:

we could pretend to be here for another couple of days...invite the Mayor aboard with his 3 beautiful Daughters for drinkies and tour of the ship prior to sneaking out early in the morning Tom.....Or am i just being a devious old man as usual?.

speaking of partys. We will be having an appreciation party quite soon. all gentlemanly type party with our female crew members of course. this will be to show our appreciation for the herculean efforts of Farmer John who will soon complete a project that most of us aboard wouldnt know how to do (that includes me).

Are the South Pole crew back with the pole yet, please?

He isn't a Pole he's a Croatian......... or so he tells me :hippy:

They all look the same to me.

Foreigners I tell you....make em walk the plank i say...yes the plank.
gonna have to tighten up round here....anyone got a fag?

I never knew we had fagging on the GD. That's the last time I clean my own shoes.

Fag, oh fag, clean my boots, then go see Sir William, he wants some planks tightening up.

Don't ask for any polish for the boots, you might get a Croatian. :big_tongue:

1814? Was that before the British got their desserts in New Orleans?

[QUOTE=PatriciaAnnT;3079]Wow, that was a long nap. I must have needed it. Do I look better? It was beauty sleep, you know. I've just been skimming the posts to see what I've missed. Good medical advice from Tmac. Ouch! Thermals have been ordered, Sir William, Sir. Amazon will drop them by drone. [/QUOTE

No Amazon is going to drop my thermals. Not even when she might be trying to check my inside leg measurement. And I don't care if she is an old drone, either.

But on the other hand, (the one without a glove), I would prefer to go up the Amazon than a Southern Pole.

Even while wearing thermals.

Puff..Phew I needed that....withdrawal symptoms see.
Full English Please Steward! coffee and Rum bottle as well as toast and marmalade please. oh and an ash tray.

:big_tongue::big_tongue::big_tongue::big_tongue:

Yes, dear boy.. the Penguins still skate in Pittsburgh.. since 1967. Though in various professional incarnations, hockey has been played back home since 1929 (when the city fielded the Pittsburgh Pirates in the NHL)

[QUOTE=Dartskipper;3157]I can almost (that's a disclaimer) promise that no one will ask you to drop your thermals. :big_tongue:

Mustapha Phagg?

Isn't that the name of one of the blokes selling dodgy DFs outside the Souk?

Why pretend? TANNOY: Belay my previous -- Blue Peter stowed until further notice -- Invitation for the Mayor to attend with his daughters, and any other young maidens who are interested in ship construction, marine injuneering, and the dark, arcane art of navigation. Departure celebration tomorrow from 18:00 until ?? Gathering to convene in the pax lounge with free libations for all guests. (Barry -- perhaps you could arrange anchovies on toast as horses ovaries a la Coastie?) Maori dancing girls as entertainment- :hippy::hippy:

Almost??...Think I need another heart pill...second thoughts maybe one of the Blue pills could be good for a laugh.

Ah! Lonnie Donegan --- GD skiffle group practice on the pool deck -- I'll bring a guitar, a tea chest bass, washboard, and spasm pole. No Kazoo?? A comb and a piece of toilet paper (pereferably un-used) is an acceptable substitute.

How'd it go?? "Oh! My old man's a dustman, 'e wears a dustman's 'at,
'e killed five farsand Germans,
So what de ye think of that? (The rest of that version would most probably not get past the censers.) :egg:

If I find any chewing gum on my bedposts there's going to be trouble (especially as I couldn't judge its flavour just at the moment).

More chance of dentures on the bedside locker than chewing gum on the bedpost.

Think Lonnie must have spent a lot of time anchored off shore........

Oh dear perhaps it's just as well I spend most of my time down the pit:huh:

I thought I'd take a turn round the deck to take in the evening breeze when I spotted what appeared to be some newly installed bitts. Very handy for parking ones bike before a run ashore so I proceeded to lodge the front wheel of my cycle between the cheeks simply to test the tightness of the fit :quill:

How was I supposed to know it was Red 17 leaning over the rail to look for the wheels previously announced by Sir William ? :yawn:

Alas I appear to have made a wrong impression however the tread pattern imprint looks quite charming but I fear my innocent :wink: intentions may be misinterpreted
