Coincidence??? I used to play in the Prince of Wales In Newhaven 3 nights a week. Never could understand why the gaffer handed me a paper with pictures of tadpoles on telephone wires though.

Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.

In the Injunroom, under the guidance of Tmac The First (Tmac I), we have a mutual admiration society and it works pretty well. My self esteem (e Steam) is such that I feel confident of bandying words with the likes of Tom, Billy and Varley. In depth discussions with Red 17 is my next goal.
Why does Red 17 sound like a terrorist organisation? (Well she terrorises me).

Tmac Chief you're looking good in the leopard print boiler suit. Are you going for a run ashore? Good, I don't blame you, the crowd in the Smoke Room are uncouth, ever so uncouth. Bring us back a fish supper.

Perhaps he was insinuating that you should play Davy Crochet.

Sealed orders require we rendezvous with a decrepit wooden fish boat in Bahia de Guaraguao on Nueva Esparta in Venezuela. Captain is a Carib Indian maiden by the name of Filthy Lucre.

Tmac, I think it might ba wise to run a test on our cloaking gear for this one. (I assume our torpedo tubes are all up to snuff as usual?)

Cheers Chief, there's nothing I like better than cold cod and chips, sans vinegar. Remind me not to ask you again. And in anyways were heading to Puerto Miranda so all hands ashore. Captain Alexander sure knows how to keep Jack happy, Ven-ee-swhale-a-here-we-come. Steward iron my dress chinos.

Cloaking gear is 100 A1 as always, it was so bloody good I forgot I'd left it on and couldn't find my way back to the ruddy ship. Wandered up and down the quay I did for hours while poor Engine Serang's fish supper slowly congealed into a frozen lump of lard. Eventually Squeek came to the rescue and smelt the rancid cheese he had stashed behind the capstan and thus was able to guide us back. FYI our torpedo tubes were upgraded yonks ago to Tomahawk launchers kindly donated by SSR.

As a one off special treat Engine Serang, Eric will make you an Ulster Fry for your brekkie, just scrape the rat droppings to the side of your plate and you will be fine (just in case you thought it was Caviar as a side dressing )

Red 17 I understand you are experiencing some power fluctuations in your accommodation, fear not young lady I shall send my best sparks to test all your circuits, he is an expert at wire pulling and can be easily recognised as being charred and blackened while dangling from the deck head light fittings. Alternatively you could present yourself with a suitable and sizeable bribe for which you will be allocated your own personal generator.

Bosun will you lock your ford store, Billyboy's on the turps again. Turps makes him hallucinate and talk gibberish. If he pulls rank let him have a small tumbler of paint thinners.

No - the red thing(s) up there was International Code Flag "B" -- when we were loading fresh "smart" ammo for our defense.

How could I possibly terrorise you ES, we have never had a personal conversation? I am just along for the ride and the exciting places we shall visit.

Why, in God's name does my name keep cropping up: I just want everyone to have a good time and enjoy the journey. What have I done, or not done, to deserve to have my name mentioned like this. Come on skipper, I thought that this was a vessel for all, regardless of their sex? I feel sure that if we were to meet in person that we would have a lot in common. I am feeling disappointed. Is it because of the fact that I among one of the few antipodeans.

My ancestry goes back to the 1600's in the UK.

Calm down dear, they're only trying to make you feel welcome. Sometimes we all have to modify our behaviour to accommodate a first tripper, and generally everyone bonds. Remember what Crocodile Dundee said, " There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about".
