Main Engines on UMS as Tmac is spending all his time in the Steering Flat guarding a 1000 Flagon barrel of his special brew which he dispenses to one and all at his bonfire, sorry BBQ, on the eve of the Twelfth.
It is his contribution to the peace process, after a few schooners of his hootch only the strongest are able to stand up let alone march the following day. Last year TA did not appear until the 14th and Varley was not seen for a week. Would that we had a Twelfth every month, the ship would be a happier place.
