Happy 77th., Sir. But -- YM --I understand the need for some to apply some kind of deprivation on their part for whatever reason, But - again - Coke Zero?? The disgusting taste of that chemical they insert hoping like hell that everyone will mistake it for sugar is exacerbated to the point of revulsion in any drink. When mixed with over proof rum it renders the concoction almost (note "almost") undrinkable.

It was vaguely reminiscent of the B.C. ferry "Queen of Oak Bay" re-arranging a marina in Horseshoe Bay, due to a cotter pin dropping out of a key drive switching element. I will only admit that the "Titanic" situation had nothing to do with the injuneering department.

No, not that end. Not even for ready money!
(I understand that he claims ancestry with the Admiral as do I, one cannot choose one's relations only consider them often removed - perhaps I would prefer distantly removed but heigh-ho).

Happy Birthday Sire, to mark the occasion the whistle will play "Happy Birthday" at an ear shattering and deafening volume from sunrise to sunset today. The injuneers are immune to the effects of this cacophony of sound as 1, we are all deaf, 2, we have muffs on our ears, 3, we never listen to a bloody thing anyhoo and finally 4, we are all ashore in the pub with your credit card....Slante

Crikey! All those anniversaries. A barrel of 1812 Gripe will be available from 1900 (on me). The Noilly is already behind the bar. All we need is a little bit of left hand down a bit and we can have a deckfull of three year ice and a polar bear to go with it.

The Noilly is behind the bar but The Prat is in front. So sad.

Sir William, the bar is all sorted, best horses doofers served and a toast to be drunk to your good self till we can drink no more. Where did the engineers get all those muffs from, some of them look like Mole asses to me. Good thing they can't hear that we turned their Calliope off after one chorus.

I say E-S is a bit previous isn't he? The Sun's not over the grandstand yet (and it ain't. Haven't heard the bikes yet today - they're not getting a marvellous TT under their belts).

Just been across the road (felt a fart coming on and thought I'd see if could get it to McDonald's before it escaped). Roads were closed but opened again before I got back across the road so looks like today a total wash out (rain in North and West, tentative schedule announced for tomorrow).
Buggered lock on No.1 bedroom - with it closed and locked, of course. Guest arriving tonight. Good day all round - fuckertyfuckfuck fuckerty.

A very Happy Birthday to the admiral, and congratulations to the Skipper. Any beverage that appeals is proper to raise in a glass, except anything beginning with the word "Coke," "Coca," or "Pepsi," which should only ever be used to remove accumulations of crud from lead acid accumulator terminals.

Managed to finesse it (without brute force I may add). Locksmith still arranged for tomorrow AM - suggest reputation would take a turn for the worse if guest found involuntarily confined to bedroom.

Rather partial to calliope music but I thought that ours was a bit short on steam pressure ............. perhaps a bit more burnable pool deck furniture is needed or a return to coal firing. It's bloody hard work firing Bunker C with a shovel.

You call me louche! I cook with gas. An Ag Walla is simply a fashion of the nouveaus unless one has a stately pile and staff.

Should I acquire a pile I will ask cook what colour she would like. You know I talk of a live-in pile, different from the ones I have been modelling in MIG in 2018 (although both can be uncomfortable in winter).

Arriving at B-A. Dunno how that bl**y Tmac and his injuneers managed to get ashore already -- think they've been using the transporter without authorisation again. I'd offer to join them but it appears our new passengers are lined up on the quay and ready to board and all I can say is WOW !! To heck with the bar crawl, come on up my lovelies. Welcome aboard the GD II.

Farmer John -- Could you please relieve me for the next two weeks. Have to administer an extensive family road trip in Western Canada culminating in the High School Graduation of my oldest Great Grand daughter.
You main concern is to get all these lovelies who have just joined to Miami. I believe Sir William has the fine details.

Yes, there are certainly some lovelies amongst the ladies who have just joined.
What do the 'fine details' consist of and I trust that Sir William will share them with the rest of us? Enjoy your shore leave in Western Canada by the way Tom.
