Who would insult a Master by suggesting he were only as powerful as God? The world really is topsy- turvey.

billyboy 12th December 2019 21:44

only one God aboard here, Thor!! he prefers to be called Tmac, still got his Norwegian Hammer in his hand as we speak.

Engine Serang 12th December 2019 21:48

Came onboard with a Norwegian Suitcase, all his worldly possessions. Hammer tucked into his belt, a touch of class. Makes you proud to be British.

And only one King Billy.

I osed to have a King Dick ... dumped it and bought a crescent shifter instead.

Engine Serang 13th December 2019 06:37

Real engineers, such as myself, would only use a Bahco. I am a legend for asking Tmac to leave the machinery spaces for nipping up a gland with Mole Grips. (He was the worse for wear).
BB keep your King Dick, it's as close as you'll get to …………… Happy Christmas.

Legend = inflated story of long dead mini hero kept current by the gullibility of many.

So, you looked daggers at our magnificent Injuneer when he took the last piece of toast, and have felt nervous ever since.

Engine Serang 13th December 2019 11:57

Lifting, indeed looking covetously at, the last edible item on the tea tray is a mortal faux-pas and will ensure you are never invited back. Poor old T has never been invited back to Lady Cynthia's swarrys.

As I've said many times I shouldn't use Food, Edible and this bloody ship in the same sentence. Somebody should do something about the cook, or chef as he calls himself.

The cutouts have hoisted our tree and decorations and mighty fine they look. Some said the 150ft tree was too big, but it does look very imposing. Any volunteers to be the fairy on the top? It is a heavy lift tree, so anyone can have a go.

billyboy 14th December 2019 22:32

you could be in luck FJ. it seems we have some plastic fairys aboard.

billyboy 15th December 2019 06:37

OI!! who rocking the boat. 6.9 earthquake here. Me booze sloping around in the bottle.

Farmer John 15th December 2019 10:08

Best drink it, don't want to spill it.

Varley 15th December 2019 15:49

Are you sure it's a 'quake? I thought that fat fairy on top of such a tall tree might require someone to check the rolling period at least.

I have a feeling he'll not be up there for long I think they have made a fundamental error with the pointy bit of the tree ("They don't like it up 'em Mr Mainwaring, .....")

Glad you and the good lady are all safe. Varley has it all wrong as usual, the reason there is a fairy on top of a Christmas tree is simples..... Santa told the Queen of the Fairies to go out and get him one tree for each of the twelve days of Christmas. Unfortunately she was as good at mathematics as Diane Abbot and brought thirteen. "What will I do with the extra one?" she asked, Santa told her which is why you get a fairy on the top of a tree....

billyboy 15th December 2019 23:24

we are fine and the house still in one piece, thanks for your concern guys! shook us up a bit thought, for a moment i thought we had sdhiepd a green one over the bow.

Dartskipper 16th December 2019 19:11

Tmac's patented shock absorbing wave damping apparatus saves the day!!

Engine Serang 16th December 2019 19:21

And tested extensively in the earthquake hotspot of suburban Belfast.
Patent the gizmo before John Chinaman sees it.

Varley 17th December 2019 10:54

We would have worried had you not announced your wellbeing before MSN had announced the subterranean Kerfuffle.

I see there have been fatalities sad time of year for a country with such a rich believership.

Engine Serang 17th December 2019 19:41

V you are a heathen and will be given burger and chips on Christmas Day, with diluted orange juice.

billyboy 18th December 2019 01:49

woken up at 04:20 by a 5.6 shaker, and we were both asleep...honest. the bed was shaking itself!!

Varley 18th December 2019 10:53

Strange you should come up with that. Many moons past when I last saw school chaplain (Rev. Challis - great name for a Christ shaman, recently became 'late' I regret) he greeted me just like that "Ah, David. Still a heathen?".

My post however was prompted by the thought that calamity around a festival must be worse for those who 'owned' the festival. Rather than to poke fun of any particular superstition. I am jealous of the comfort they give. Just not the intellectual canon.

(I am procuring the birds for M'Lady, to whose table I am invited. They will not be coming from across the road!).

Varley 18th December 2019 10:58

Sir W. That does not mean you cannot take advantage of it surely? (Providing it doesn't bring in the ceiling). I hope GD is in sufficiently deep water to avoid tsunami.

Tmac1720 18th December 2019 11:26

Y'know at times like these I thank God I'm an atheist :jester:

A very Merry and Happy Christmas to you all and my sincere thanks for your companionship over the past years. :flowers:

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers (and sisters)

Engine Serang 18th December 2019 13:48

This raises the question, the Ulster question; Are you one of our atheists or one of their's.

Myself I'm very much an A La Carte Christian. I would give it up completely but this is not the time to be making enemies.

Farmer John 18th December 2019 15:35

I declare myself to be a stout and convinced atheist, secure in the knowledge that if I am wrong, I will be forgiven. Just don't give me a harp and some Horlicks (meant as spelt, not pronounced.
