Best Wishes for Christmas and 2024 to you, Tmac, and all those spending Christmas aboard the GD.
Welcome to the GOB club where I am a foundation member.
Dare I suggest that you nominate ES to the SOB (silly old bastard) club where I am also a member. I am sure that he is well qualified for acceptance but even so we should all try and restrain some of his antics next year.
Pity about Christmas lunch - you cannot cook stuff on a shovel or a pricker with oil firing.
Anyway, Best Wishes to all on SH (the friendly site) where even a landlubber has been made welcome!
