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!

The one I carry is rather like my second pipe. It would be a poor smoke if lit, the bowl is too big. It is used for 'borrowing'.

Aye aye Cap'n Tom.

Been there, done that. Follow me. Not keen on dinghy racing though, not unless there's a decent size outboard on the transom. (LOL). Prefer something a bit bigger, say 36 ft sloop for a blast round the buoys myself.

.:applause::applause:
Good Lord...ypu electrical technicians think of everything ha ha

Each to their own Dartskipper. Nice cruiser with a pair of Screaming Gimies or V8 Cats will do for me.

That is another one EACH? :pint:

I said performance --choices include Express 37' (14 knot potential), 48' ketch rigged cat, and IC-24s (modified J-24s). There are of course Hobies and 420s for the more youthful.

Remember this is a nostalgia site so we can probably arrange a football match with the locals. :bounce:

Not a bad idea Tom. May I suggest we play Mr Varley in goal, I've heard nothing gets past him.
I would of course volunteer to play Right back, and I hear that SSR is pretty handy on the right wing, Not to sure about the positions of the rest of the crew.

After what you're planning for the cat. Not sure I want to be in sports clothes with any of you. Best we stick to what we know (drink).

And don't think I will pass over any allusions to goal mouth area and my sylph like interference fit.

I always assume the supine position when sport is mentioned, though I might take on a 420, given this is a fantasy. I used to, but now I am a little less limber.

Wot, no Fireballs?:jester:
The Express 37 sounds OK, although we did clock 14 knots in Orcella, (76 ft Frans Maas) on a broad reach when heading North in the Pacific.


What Rules football are we playing, Tom? NFL ?CFL? Association? Aussie Rules? Gaelic?

Those fast Fairey Huntsmen and Swordsmen were OK, BB. Twin turbo cheapo Fords gave them a good shove. If anything went "bang", you could easily get another one.

Yes thats very true Roy. Theres a speedboat out of Looe got one in, skippered by a lady. Good for about 28 knots.

Not a Fireball in sight -- used to race them back in the late 60's -- fun boat -- found that it could actually be surfed on a broad reach with bare poles and no rudder in a 45 knot squall on an inland lake. Also capsized to windward one day with the Admiral out on the wire -- wasn't too popular that day. :bye:

With the British Virgins being under English jurisdiction I suppose we should stick to their version --- some call it soccer. :bounce:

Why would anyone want a speedboat in their toilet? :confused::confused:

I might be quiet at the moment but I'm still keeping a beady eye on you scurvy lot.... anyone, ANYONE even thinking about an "adventure" into the injun room had better have adequate insurance :shock: Squeek and Eric are armed and primed to repel all boarders :(

Be assured, they do repel.

Disgusting marsupials.

Show'm your bare arse. That's a sure way of disgusting 'em.

Who the heck would want to board in the injun room anyway?? You starting a new business Tmac -- SludgeBnB?? Anchovies in Bunker C for breakfast??? Black finger prints on the toast?? :(

Here we are -- anchored off the Bitter End Yacht Club. Fine catered supper ashore this evening, courtesy of Pusser's due to our exemplary order. :pint:

Possible that the black finger prints could be Bunker C or Vegemite. Only one way to find out ...........:confused:
