This coming Wednesday Skipper, if I had meant next Wednesday I would have said a week Wednesday or Wednesday after next. If however we were having this conversation this coming Monday I would have said next Wednesday. Are you keeping up with this Tom? .:chuckle::chuckle:

I forgot to say Tom, just in case you were wondering, I am also one of those strange folk who actually pronounce certain words as they are spelt, eg. Battery, Library etc.. and I say again not agen.

If I think of anymore words I will be sure to let you know. :D

Oh wow!. A tabula rasa. If I send you Dr. Johnson's tome you won't have to waste drinking time thinking for words, he has lots of them, all listed in alphabetical order making them easier for one to pick.

And if I find any more of my batriz in the lybri I'll be very crawse.

You know, I thought you would have a word or three to say about my response to Tom.
Good on You Varli:cool:.

been as wat i is onerary member of the Golden shifter brigade.
I aint tight sure of wat yous is yakin like.

Oh...My brain hurts. Time for a glass of Nelsons blood methinks.

Aw cumon, youse lot are jus tryin to take the mickey outa me.:huh:

As if we would do such a thing Red-17.....:thumb::chuckle::jester:

The language is my servant and not my master.

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master—that’s all.”

maybe humpty dumpty is the captain of the golden dreamer

hey up Tom, broadside incoming mate. heh heh heh.

"Its only words, and words are all i have to take your heart away" (bee Gee's)

crew
 

Is the good sir doubting the integrity of my fine crew? All have fine tickets (some bought from Bus companys)
Senior engineers and Navigators are both highly qualified. As for myself, my Psychiatrist (trick cyclist) says I am highly qualified to be an idiot.....LOL:curtain_call:

You are right Farmer John, language is my servant and it behoves me to treat it well.
Perhaps we should sit down with a pint or two of whatever we prefer and discuss this further?:paper:

I will be gone for a few days so I hope that by the time I return Captain Tom will have got over the 'broadside', as you call it billyboy. Also, yes you would billyboy!

"It ain't what you say, it's the way that you say it" ;)

Being the skipper (and I believe the Commodore) of the GD) I must confess I take right proper 'umbrage at being referred to as humpty dumpty, when the correct reference should be Humpty Dumpty, that being a proper name, and therefore capitalised (capitalized for you Yankee sailors).

And as for sitting on a wall, that is completely ridiculous, as if I am to be found sitting anywhere, it will be on the foretop or crosstree of the foremast, keeping a proper lookout!! So, there!!

Now, perhaps you will be so kind as to report to the bridge, cap in hand, with a can of glob to spend the next half hour polishing both the binnacle in the wheelhouse and the rum tap in the chartroom. :chuckle::chuckle:

Broadside deflected Sir. Perhaps we should get together for a "wet" --- Pax lounge??
--- Then the Pax lounge it is. :pint:

There is no need to polish the rum tap. If anything, it is getting a little worn.

I just thought that would bring you out of your shell.and say now I have the job .I think I have cracked it .

Cracked it? .... Cracks sink ships!....LOL
Welcome aboard to our new Bridge boy. Follow me to the PAX Lounge, lets get the lamp swinging.

I thought that was loose lips. They're best avoided anyway, dribbling wastes booze.

Ah Varley dear chap. Do come in and join us for a libation or three. Meet Tony, our new Bridge boy (man)
Steward a bottle of Mr Varley's favorite if you please.
Whats yours Tony? Tom and myself are on Four Bells.

Boss.. would dearly love to join in.. but am in no. 1 hold practicing my slapshot.. then off to the hangar deck to install my new mega-mega screen TV to watch the Lads play the Senators tonight in the Conference final... oh yeah... barbeque on the hangar deck, hot dogs, hamburgers, and lots and lots of Ahrn... :pint::pint::pint::pint:

GO PENGUINS! ! !

all this is too much to take on my first day aboard 'think i will go to the bar for a very large jack daniels with ice just for cooling me down don'tcha know

At what stage should I mention that I already 'tweaked' the governors? How do you think I got here?

If he tweaks them any more then ssr481 will be looking for the bits.

Anyway, as I am supposed to be 'the passenger', What are all these other people doing drinking in our lounge?

Terrible thing just now chaps (welcome aboard Tony but shouldn't you be on the bridge if those two are here?). All the snot loosening pills and blasting steroids up the nose has still not brought back my sense of taste. Only booze that tickles the fancy at present is V8 bloodies Mary with chilli vodka, fizz and an orange thing called Grand Julian. Enjoyed a pint on Thursday but not as much as it deserved by a long shot.
