I hope you finished cleaning out the pump room and stripping pipes as the first load of chemicals arrive next week. Are we having fun yet?

ES's #6756:
Nothing like a motivational few words from the gaffer. Did he plagiarise one of Churchills WW2 speeches? Is now the time to wheel out KG6's speech at the dawn of war-torn 1940 when he said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: ‘Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.’ And he replied: ‘Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than a light and safer than a known way’. So Best Wishes to all both aboard the GD and ashore for the New Year 2021!

If he plants them here he can pretend he got them right as they miss JustWin's homework marking. Cunning.
(Do you need a hair piece to go with that too? I don't know about HLM's speech at the outbreak of World war II but that extract from Minnie Haskins's poem is on the gate to his tomb).

Ah. That's a possibility I'd not considered.

JustW, Tony S, Marcus C, Lancs and SaudiS can rack their brains on the subtleties and minutiae of funnels and guy winches but I am a big picture man. I post my correct answers on an alternative site and regard all others guesses as Fake News.
You probably don't know this but I won big over the festive period, no other Serang got 72 million correct answers. So sad. |

You'll have to ask my junior. Now I've a cabin with a dayroom it is beneath my dignity (translation for E-S follows) to ply the telegraphers' trade. I don't mind kicking the boy if he slacks off, just leave a note behind the bar, I'm to be found there most dinner times (also breakfast, smokoes, luncheon etc.)

I am happy to report that the seasonal trip hazards and obstructions have now been struck down and safely stowed for another 11 months. It is now somewhat safer to move about the ship.
Not that anyone in an alcoholic haze would notice, but I thought that I should mention it.

Will whoever removed the fairy lights from the coppery pipe thing running along the radioroom deckhead please return them. They are not a Christmas decoration, the boy can't make the grey box do the di-di-dahs without them.
Are you two doing star sights or jigsaws?

Ah well, in my defence I have to say that all the pretty lights on the outside of the ship looked fairly permanent, and I don't remember putting them up so I left them alone. Hope that's OK.

Tannoy: Attention all crew, we will be sailing for Port Said on tomorrows morning tide where we will anchor off and await confirmation of orders. looks like we will be off down through the Suet Channel for freemantle.
ES, as chief (pro temp) please make sure all is well down below. will need main engines on at 08:30.

08.30 is negotiable. I'm sick and fed up sailing in the middle of the night. The engines will be made available, for your exclusive use, at NOON.
The working class can kiss my ass, I've got Tmax's job at last. |

Is that Tmac's helicopter that I see on the horizon?
Renowned as he is for tact and diplomacy, ES speaks many languages at various times but I don't think that Latin is one of them. Initially, I thought that he didn't realise the meaning of 'pro tem' and that possibly Tmac would need to forcibly explain it to him. To do that, however, he will have to get his big shifter back which ES has had me polish every day.
