Ah Varley, I can recall many's a companionable evening in the Smokeroom discussing the merits of the Crusader and the design foibles of the Foster Wheeler air register. Innocent times.
Our shipmates seem to be up and about, nothing like the smell of an Ulster Fry to settle a queasy tummy. As for the soup incident, I was very lucky the Potage Dubarry was neither deep enough to drown me or hot enough to scald me. Catering at its best.
