My experience of religion is less than my experience of flying, I've done it once. I liked the fact that you got a price and an aspirational destination. I can see where faith comes in, in both recreations.

Sorry, in my last post, when I wrote "flying", I meant to put "sex". Makes much more sense.

Sex/Flying.... it's all much the same... initial excitement and anticipation then down to earth with a bump when reality kicks in

speaking of religion, last time I was in church a fellow threw water over me and called me names so I never went back. In any case his mate's handbag was also on fire

Just been up top having a look around...Cant see land anywhere...Plastic steward sat in the wheelhouse knitting something. auto pilot on, radar alarms set.

Translated that means "Splice the main Brace".
Ste them up steward! crew on the way for tots. Open a jar of pussers special please.

So solly -- prepared a rather convoluted post last night, only to have it disappear completely when I tried to add an emoji. Needless to say, I wasn't about to write the whole thing over again.

To update everyone, we have arrived in Wŏnsan, North Korea, and have anchored under our cloaking device so no one ('cept us) knows that we are here. We are in the process of loading a complete Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet onto the end of their jetty, along with copious quantities of Belgian Trappist Beer, (11.6% ABV) to be served by disposable Plastic Stewardesses in mini skirts. After the locals have delved into such depraved Western fare, their glorious leader will wonder what the hell happened.

Seeing the U.S. surface fleet has left the area he'll find it hard to blame them.

Varley, if you would be so kind as to launch our spy satellite over Pyongyang, we might get a peek at the look on Kim's face.

need a wide angle lens for a mug like his ha ha.

Just been checking our detection monitors. seems there a few folk got miss isles aimed this way and waiting for button pressing time.

Whilst we are under cloak and in the right possition we could always loose a torpedo off. it would run up the beach from here. Maybe sink a Horse and Cart heh heh heh

Have you any idea how much gripewater it takes to fuel the launch vehicle. We'll be dry for months if you do that. And what about the liquid oxygen. How will we pre-breakfast up-liven if we go wasting the stuff like that? (Besides, the bird's aerials are quite useful for drying my laundry).

Varley, I see the problems with launching, could your cunning mind and wriggly fingers not capture one of the many satellites already up there? I am absolutely sure that there are quite a few gazing down on the Leader right now, can we not sip a few gig of data from one of them.

Firing a torpedo up the beach could cause a lot of problems in the world, especially if it destroys the town horse and cart (and anyway, what has the poor old horse done), I suggest a sort of glittery parcel of the worst corruptors, like platform soled gold lame boots and jars of Marmite, would have a more destructive effect.

Will this do?

I used the old Inmarsat A terminal with the PA turned up a bit (see hole in cloud and hairdo of dear nincompoop).

Looks like he survived the nuclear weapon test that made the hole in the cloud. Trouble is, his short back and sides became a no back and sides.

everyone's entitled to be a wee bit silly at times but that Kim abuses the privilege.

I'm afraid we can't use that again. a megawatt through the PA can only be done once (and for a very short time). I might, though, develop a lower power option for instant tonsorial grooming.

(Has everyone finished sniffing the adhesive? I tried the prototype on a plastico and I need to re-attach his face).

Well, we can see from the look on his face that Kim has absolutely no sense of humour at all.

I suggest we leave him alone to play silly buggers with all and sundried. Sooner, or later he'll get his come-uppence.

Red said that she would like to go to India, so, unless anyone has any objection we can set a course for Kolkata ( a sister port of her home town of Newcastle, NSW) perhaps stopping off for refreshers in Hong Kong/Macau, and Singapore on the way? I did hear that there was a cargo of animal body parts to be carried to India and here I am with 8 crates of "Dogs-cocks" --- a bunch of back splices in 1/2 inch manilla rope.

Time to convene for a port parting tipple, I believe?

We have a crew of many and varied talents, Varley, your picture capture is brilliant. It looks just like him.

I think I was at school with him.

Will we be calling into Istanbul for some Turks' Heads too? Port Elizabeth for some smoke cured Monkey Fists?

Well, if we go to Kalkota we'l be on the wrong side for Alang, but not too far from Chittagong -- we've never stolen anything from there, only sold stuff, so they won't be expecting us.

While we're at it we could slide up the Ayreshire coast, do some diving off Carrick, and get the bends.

Now holding a "groaner" party in the Pax lounge.

I'm up for that, we could go for a drink in the Crown with Matthew Walker, but watch out, the sheep there are very comely, if you go for a Sheepshank, don't end up in a Sheetbend. Clifford Ashley, help me out here.
