Ah that Ballinamuck (notice subtle rearrangement of letters). Never been there despite the obvious attraction of the Madonna with the big boobies.

If you ever lose the will to live i can recommend it. Dont forget to look in at the P.O. there is a vast array of wellies on the shelves, dozens of them all size 14! next year they are buying a fridge to put their only bottle of red lemonade in.

Well, offering day trips in the Levant is out. Baltic's a bit dodgy. Black sea and Dardanelles the same only more so. If you did your usual trick and followed the nearest pipeline we'd probably find a hole in it. I wonder if it would not be more restful to stay here until the port tanks show a low level.

(By the bye was T Denmark's EM D/A RR engined?)
Either the Frankfurt or Denmark had a big red RR Em Alt, not sure which one. On a big steamship a simple diesel Em Alt was required not a finnicky, temperamental prima donna that, like Tmax, let you down when exposed to a bit of work.

How about a trip up Shitt Creek? day excursion to Laxey to have a whirl on their big wheel? afternoon tea and buns in the Harland and Bluff shityard? I know a couple of guys there who do a nice bottom scrape at reasonable rates.
I don't care where we go as I'm currently up to my arse in Allegators which ES dumped in the deep tanks as ships pets.

Alligators?
What has he done with the crocodiles that I sent him? Has anyone seen the GD's ship's cat recently? Not a cat (or crocodile) lover myself actually.

Bloody All-Blacks.
They beat us without the need for Richie McCaw fouling and cheating all over the pitch. I hope they win because first prize is a week in the Isle of Man.

Tommy has been guarding the pump room bilges incase any low down rodent should make attempts on broaching the port. He is back in my house for a kip come my dinner-time.
(I'll have you know that I met a lovely choir afficianada this afternoon outside the Bridge whither I had been summoned by my usual chess challenger for extra humiliation. She would love to win that prize as she is determined to return in the Summer). The RR would, I submit, have done more than adequate emergency duty had we all not, in those days, done our utmost not to test them properly. The Saturday sports day start up to make acid exhaust and then to stop it again as soon as it excited could not have done more to encourage cold corrosion than a cold corrosion salesman. One failure I remember revealed itself during a real emergency - ER flooding following a mutiny in the South China Sea. Could only run for just long enough to re-aim the satcom dish before overheating. Piston crown found with a hole in it - testing less frequently and in more depth would obviate the need for steam plumbers to delve into Dr. Rudolph's mysteries).

As soon as it excited invariably the phases were totally unbalanced, and Lecky never had the confidence to check any further so the beast was put to bed for another week.

cant beat steam for reliability. ICE Engines art purely a convenience and noisy at that. This is where we score points. we have steam, Diesel and electric propulsion.

Never mind the turnips or Halloween.
Vegemite celebrates its centenary today 25 October 2023. Do we have sufficient in stock for the voyage?

Allan had sprout vindaloo for lunch. I don't think he is going to be worrying about Marmite substitute until ES has shifted his for Allan's.

When Ireland was part of the Empire the Bog of Allen was renamed The Great Plain of Maryborough, no doubt trying to flog bits off to chancers and idiots. Paddy might be a bit slow but he knew a bog when he seen one and he resisted the offer. Sound man Paddy.

I hope its Flash Point is above 60 degrees C.
If not it'll have to be stored with the petrol and may pick up unwanted odours.
