I recall many years ago being at a similar Seminar with Engine Supers. The Deck Supers were a bit miffed they weren't invited or hadn't the wit to organise one of their own so they had a competition to come up with a collective noun for a group of Engine Supers. The usual words appeared, a flock, a herd, a crew, a troupe but the winner was;-
A nuisance of Engineer Superintendents. Who said the Deck Department lacked a sense of humour. |

Ah yes, smoking - I stopped some years since but I was the type of smoker who created a firestorm when I inhaled. Cigarettes, cigars, pipes…
I ceased for the usual reasons; Health and wellbeing The smell on my clothing which permeated the entire wardrobe. The shunning and shouting when one lit up in the ‘wrong’ place. Oh, and shoreside prices may have had a significant influence.

I have just seen those remarks. I won't keel haul the little beast for missing the ship tax on your BLT (betting-letter-telegram) as the administration doesn't allow them (but for small donation to Mrs Varley's Fund for sailor-boy sons .....). What I will have the little sod for is broaching the Tawny while 'in charge' and being caught at it. The next thing you'll be reporting is that my stash of left handed literature has been raided.

E-S,
1) just about everyone, I think. 2) You had more than one deck super?

For the majority that horse runs as often as it's name suggests and wins are even rarer.

Good heavens no. They were more Cargo Supers than anything else plus a couple of Supercargo's contracted out as demand required. |
