It is my considered opinion and I am unanimous on this, nobody on GD2 should lead with their chin. Never ask a question you don't know the answer to cause you will not like the answer.
You would never hear Tmac asking if he was missed. On return from a spot of leave he would say, Here's to me, Who's like me, Devil the one.


So Red 17 give us 100 lines of:-


Here's to me,
Who's like me,
Devil the one.


And Fcuk the begrudgers.

I wouldn't ask if anyone missed me because I already know they did because before I left on leave I sabotaged most of the systems just so as you would know I was gone and appreciate the things wot I do.... some pup me, me da was a greyhound..

Anyhoo injuneers are a much maligned and forgotten breed until something is broke then the injuneer is wanted by all to fix wot is broke like wot we does.

Good injuneers are harder to find than a virgin in a brothel but as I is a great one I must confess to NOT being a virgin or even virginal so to speak... as my dear old mum always said "as pure as the driven slush"

Mary's garden is always kept quite neat, but this time of year, a firm hand on the potatoes is always welcome. I will put in some hard work on it if you let me know.

I think we should root out the Jerusalem Artichokes (if this is possible) after the last time.

only person NOT missed aboard here is ME Basically because i do nothing...except challenge the bar stocks of course. Then again as owner I suppose thats in order. and I do cover the occasional watch below when Tmac needs a well deserved break. I have even been driver at times...(Not my fault them people on the yacht decided to go for a swim right in front of me...still say they shouldnt have been there)

Yes, Yes, Yes, FFS we missed you.

I would welcome your help in the garden FJ, a job shared is a job halved. I don't think that the potatoes will be a problem but those darn Artichokes will be a bit harder to get under control. Do you think we should perhaps graze the goats in that area for awhile? Oh dear, I fear that I may well regret asking that question.

F stands for 'face' as in 'Why The Face' of course but as this does not seem to fit the context of FFS somehow I have no real idea. Sorry.
Nice dog by the way. Is he/she likely to bite me should I be encountered wandering the GD in the middle of the night?

No, no, he is an Australian Terrier and would recognise you as being a fellow Aussie. You are perfectly safe YM.

Thanks Red. I am greatly reassured.
I am just being hounded by our 15 year old Dachshund/Terrier cross called 'Tigger' as I have a Smacko in my pocket to give her at bed time.
I will bring one for your dog when next on deck.

Red, there are two states possible when growing things.
1. Gardens
2. Goats

The two cannot exist at the same time. State 2 is a debased result of state 1.

A vital task, rigorous testing enables us to maintain our very high standards.

Thank you Farmer John. I will therefore continue with my efforts. Purely for research of course.

Speaking of cigars, I suppose we should visit Havana next so we can replenish our stock.

"Then again as owner", well I'm flabbergasted, knockscombusherated and frankly amazed. Me and Tmac thought GD2 was a co-op where we all had equal shares after 100 thoughtful posts. Show us the Bill of Sale or Mortgage or be aware that mutiny is bubbling just under the Lazarette Deck.


It is rumoured that you have not been down the engine room in 20 years so less of your oul guff and show us the rent book, Captain.

Co-op? I must be owed an awful lot of dividends then. Not, in view of the port and smokes, that I'll be making a song and dance about it.

Oi, the necks been taken out of this one already!

Only one owner, the rest of you are highly paid (millionaires) by me. I have done my share on the bridge and Engine room in the past. Its just that I prefer to go on as a bar checker so you lot get good drinks. HIC!
