virtual crazy gang, part II

[Engine Serang]

Henners! Henners!
Get a grip my Lordship and for gods sake don't drink it. Look what it did to the mad xylophone player from mars.

[Varley]

I had no idea that the xylophonist astronomer was a connoisseur also of fizz. Even he, I suggest, would not consider the terroir of Mars suitable until he had had it tested. I don't think he was from there, just that he would have liked to go there.

[Varley]

I have received no requests from either Abi or Charlie. Is there something artistically unappealing about my genitalia?

[Engine Serang]

Nor will you.
One presumes.

[Varley]

Well. It is one explanation.

[Engine Serang]

Had a heavy weekend of drinking, no bubbles, and I feel a dammed sight better than I have in a long time. Bubbles is bastards.
Agree or otherwise.

[Varley]

Depends at which end the bubbles are featuring.

Top end, fine (and did some lunching Friday).

Bottom end, suggest porta and bothiebathjuice bad for gut flora/fauna (and any planned appearances at The Mistral, Shittam upon Peas should be postponed until the problem has passed).

(How's Tmac, bugger didn't leave any batteries with the Brightstar).

[Engine Serang]

Check there's a bulb in it.
Tmax is surrounded by empty tubes of Germoline and Sudocreme. Leave him alone you big bully.

[Varley]

Of course there's a bulb in it. I can hear it rattling about when I shake it.

Bully? It's not me with the four rings.

[billyboy]

bulbs? Bulbs? ,,,Spring time already out there?
I have no idea of where we are or where we are heading to. I left the ship in the capable hands of ES. Hope he gets it right or Tmac's steel toe cap boots will be brought into use again.
I seem to have a full time occupation swallowing pills of various colours shapes and sizes. they didnt give any diamond shape blue one though.

[rustytrawler]

Eyup billyboy, you keep batting and i will send round titty to help with the blue tablets.

[billyboy]

Hmmm. No activity since May 3rd.

Might be time to go into lay up in the Fal.

Lay off a course for Falmouth ES. Lets go lay the old girl up.

Hi . Billyboy .

My lay up will be in Newquay bay , my hometown .

I Have arranged for the local boatmen to scatter my ashes
on the sea .
Grew up with a lot of them .

All the best . wish you well .

Tony

[Varley]

Daren't lay her up. How would any of us get an ENG1 to rejoin?

Don't expect me to jolly you all up. I am out of Rochas (economising until my 'pot' is out of administration) and damn Tesco is out of its own-brand. On top of that my people have persuaded me to get another lawn mower (old people qualified type) just so I can join in that bloody fun.

[YM-Mundrabilla]

It's been a fun voyage.
These days, apart from ENG1, there would probably be some form of shrink (err aptitude) test.
The mind boggles!
Will there be a redundancy payment or should we take out insurance and scuttle her?

[billyboy]

I am open to all ideas Men, No news from the agents, No charters, No Towing jobs. It either find a semi permanent berth somewhere or go into lay up.
But you never know, something might turn up to keep us all employed. (goodness knows what would become of our 4 legged engine room crew).
Mr Varley, please keep one ear open up in the shack in case something crops up.

[Varley]

As long as the groceries keep coming (note importance of licensed type) I am happy to drift off. Off where is not so important but with those tightwads I/C the A/C somewhere not yet globally overwarmed would be sensible. However I will have the boy copy the Russian traffic lists as well. I hear there may be a few opportunities for salvage if we are quick enough on our toes. He's brought-up the copper aerial tubing lovely so doing a watch or two extra will take his mind off that - he's been showing signs of wanting to do some fault finding but I don' think Brasso and the Avo are ideal bedmates (he tells me that FeverTree doesn't improve the flavour either and his teeth are going a strange colour too).

[Engine Serang]

Me and the Memsahib take a well deserved break in Munich and now we find our erstwhile shipmates have organised a putsch behind our backs. Well I have a message for you scurvy dogs, I'm back.
I'm back and going to kick arse. Lay up indeed.
More will follow when I calm down and the froth stops.

[rustytrawler]

We need to be at sea, if we stay ashore fish'e sunak will have you in the Army. left, right, left, right.

[Malcolm G]

Not just Army!
Gnash nul service used to include bobbing about in boats…
Press gang anyone?

[Varley]

Tightwad-one was on leave? We could have had the A/C after all. I wondered why she'd taken on a starboard list. Taking port from port (ye-hah I found one bottle of the Rochas left yesterday) whilst the bothie-bath-juice tank stayed unused. Tmac must still be on no-booze medication.

[Tmac1720]

I'm still here I think, well what's left of me that is. So many bits have been removed I feel like the bloody Cheshire cat, soon all that will be left of me will be a feckin' smile. (and for those of you who know me a smile is rarely seen)

I have CCTV installed in the injum room, cobbled together with bits purloined from Varley's stores, its no wonder the bloody thing only works occasionally !!!!

Anyhoo I have almost completed work on my escape tunnel from the second floor but the air gap to the ground might prove a tad difficult to overcome but I is a injuneer so back to the drawing board and the crayons.

Bollocks to the lay up idea, those bar stewards will find me again on a static ship. Wind up the knicker elastic, hoist the windy things and get the hell out of here...... AFTER I get back on board

[Engine Serang]

Welcome back old shipmate (sincere bit over), about bloody time. A stern tube is not rocket science.
And in anyways I'm Skipper and I'm well aware of what goes on down the pit, so watch it.
TKmax, Lord V and YM, youse three are a right pair if I've ever seen one. Start warming thro.

[billyboy]

Ahh... Thats more like it, Well done skipper, crack the whip and keep em on their toes.

[YM-Mundrabilla]

Your wish, ES, is my command.
I don't use a drawing board and crayons for my precision designs. I draw them out with chalk on the garage floor.
