That simply isn't true Tmac. You may recall that on several occasions I invited you to have a drink with me and on each occasion you refused. I admire your enthusiasm for all things mechanical and your tenacity for keeping the GD in perfect running order. I feel sure you are quite a nice person under that grouchy and grubby exterior. You have to come up for air sometime Tmac. :wink:

I do recall one festive season being encoureged by a friend to drink Davenports Top brew delux (barley wine.) I have no recollection of the later part of the evening at all. However the next day, feeling rather sour. I called at that establishment and was shown an old victorian table that I apparently broke while dancing on it. Being a good citizen I took to my workplace nearby and Brazed its leg back on. (cast Iron). Photographic evidence was produced a few days later.....I was shocked!! never drank that stuff again!!

Tmac sure has a lot on his plate at the moment. Ireally feel for him. I have volunteered to take the 12 till 4 watches to give him a break down there,

Oh dear! I do hope that he is OK. If he ever just want's to talk to someone I am the soul of discretion.

It is considered as part of the Caribbean Community, but by whom is not completely clear. It is a British Overseas Territory to this day. For the complete hisotry go to:

Perhaps you can see from this Google Earth grab that Bermuda is actually way out in the North Atlantic -- quite a way North of the Caribbean. :)

Gdansk tomorrow -- arrival time posted in a secret envelope in the PAX lounge bar. To enter the draw, leave $1 with Farmer John, and write your estimate on the entry slip and put it in the box provided. The closest one to the actual time of arrival will win the jackpot. :supercool:

10:45 standby to enter port is my guess. any takers?

Are we guessing in Northern Hemisphere time or Southern? :chuckle: Either way I will guess 11:00. In for a penny, in for a pound.

Oh dear, I really do need to go back to my geography books.

Is this ZULU time, local time or what us old blokes would call GMT.
I hope that it is a brown paper envelope and not the white one that I saw Red holding up to the light.

Oh, how fortunate, I have won! See, it says so on this piece of self destructing paper. I love being in positions of trust, it is my honest face and my speedy running shoes.

The money is paid behind the bar for our Gdansk docking party.

Gdansk, Gdansk, wherever you may be, I am the Lord of Gdansk said he.

May I ask what it is you are taking Farmer John and is it legal?

I'll lay odds he got it out of a bottle RED17 heh heh heh

All times quoted, (other than by us personally when we are away, on leave, etc.) are GDT. (Golden Dreamer time.) We arranged that some time ago due to our varying geographical domeciles.

Glad to hear that Farmer John won and is using his winnings to sponsor our arriving party. :D:D

When does the party start?

McC

Party starts when the driver puts the brakes on I guess.

John Cooper-Clarke:
"We all start when the drum machine starts".

I want some of what Farmer John is on - preferably a couple of pints!

If my medical allows it!

McC

Just had a rummage through my personal bottle store and came across a couple of cases of this. Should help liven the party up a bit heh heh heh

I should stick to sippers, it is very potent stuff.

I never watched the Sopranos but am now intrigued as to how they would have used this song in the Soundtrack. Off course none of us live in chicken town, do we?

You wouldn't happen to have a bottle or two of Pussers Black Label Gunpowder proof around would you?? Mind you, any port in a storm, Eh? :pint:

Possible. So much stored and piled up on there. I will have to make an inventory sometime. Theres some real old vintage stuff in there somewhere.

Sir William, I am prepared to assist you in your discoveries and investigations if you have a glass to spare.

My corkscrew is at your command.
