My education consisted of 15 years English, 5 years German (O-Level failed), 3 years Latin, 2 years Greek, 1 year Irish and 71 years Ulster-Scots. So I don't stand a chance with Cyrillic script.

When did Cyrilic Script join us? Engine or deck?
We have a fair few Ukrainian and Russian students at King William's and some professionals in the wider community (I know one Russian lady lawyer and one Ukrainian teacher who was in tears at last Friday's lunch meeting more especially over vile comments posted on an Irish site on the topic of refugees). I am told the Island is not sufficiently upmarket for any Oilyghasts to have been taken up.

The topic of refugees is far too serious and emotive for me to comment upon so I won't.

getting a bit too noisy here now. I suggest we cast off and head away from here. Anyone know of a decent bar in Malta? we would be safer down there. someone might think I am an oilygarth and try to impound the Golden Dreamer.

St Patricks Day dawns bright and clear.
Tmax is preparing his famous Irish Stew, I am concocting a big tureen of whiskey punch and organising a beer-lift of Guinness from the Bond. All hands are invited to help us drown the shamrock in T's suite at 11 hrs.

Fine I will be up there soon. I just happen to have a bottle of Black bush and a couple bottles of Jamiesons I have been saving for such an auspicious occasion. Stewards has made Cabbage and bacon and thawed out some white sausage.

Open house in my funnel suite tonight lads, eat drink and be merry and no worries as I will be footing the cost. No I haven't gone mad or soft in my old age but it's St Paddies Day and I can't keep up the pretence of being a miserable oul shit today of all days.
Anyhoo things could be worse we could all have contracts with P&O. Bloody disgrace how this was handled and announced, shame on the lot of them.

Good God is it the 18th of March already? Tmax is a grand host and the guest Sommelier for the evening a Monsieur de Varoeuly had ever such a light touch when on topping-up duty. Why are we slowing down? are we at Eastham already? Com'on Tranmere Rovers.

Please don't issue orders coupling 'cutout' with 'cable'. At less than 2 quid an hour we will be without lights before you can say knife and I will be four on stop on until we leave.

No worries Mr Varley. get ready for a run ashore. I have heard of a luxury lounge bar I want to check out. Nice background music, comfy armchairs and pretty young girls for decorating the place. Top of the main street next to the cigar shop.

My shipmates spent manys a pleasant hour searching dockside pubs and clubs looking for girls (and boys) with balaclavas and handcuffs; now P&O Ferries are bussing them in. Enlightened times indeed.

Ah wonderful Belfast, nothing like the taste of smokie Vodka with a dash of ceiling plaster as an extra garnish. The balaclava boys were so helpful in asking "what size do you take in a hood?" or "would you like a limp for the rest of your life?" such a friendly city and such exciting times.
 P&O Ferries bringing a taste of the Orient to sunny Larne

Mr. V is very quiet recently, Thank Goodness, but I believe he is up to his oxters in sh1te in the other place. If he gets Parkhurst or the Scrubs we will visit him.
At least with his education he will understand the Latin phrases used by their Learn'd Friends. Last edited by Engine Serang; 26th March 2022 at 09:57. Reason: Clarification.
