Scorch marks??? My Dad used to say something about "nicotine on your shirt tails -- must have been smoking in bed!!."

I am sorry YM but although Ma's wardrobe does have a short skirt left I am afraid it no longer fits me. You'll have to do with imagination.

(I could do a boiler suit with the legs cut short but the pins are not quite as elegant and unveiny as they used to be)

YM-Mundrabilla · #**4129** 2nd December 2018, 12:18

David,

Many thanks for your kind offer of modelling Ma's short skirt or your cut off boiler suit but, as you suggest, I think that I had better stick with my memories, imagination and dreams.

At least my memory of those days is better than that of what I had for dinner last night!

Geoff (YM)

Standing on the corner of the Green Man Roundabout waiting for the pub to open is much more comforting than standing on the corner on Winslow Arizona.

Bugger! their goes another excuse for wearing make-up.

Tom Alexander · #**4133** 3rd December 2018, 08:22

You know, I'd have thought that the hair on my legs would hide the veins, but, dammit, my legs are getting something like the top of my head -------- and --- No ----- I didn't shave them to wear under my short skirt.

Think I'll go and drown my sorrows -- pool deck if anyone cares to join me.

Varley · #**4134** 3rd December 2018, 11:06

Indeed not, Tom. I have seen them. Tried plucking?

billyboy · #**4135** 3rd December 2018, 12:01

Off to the Pool deck Bar we go then Tom. Large one for me please Steward.

Varley · #**4136** 3rd December 2018, 12:34

I suspect Tmac left a sock in the Gripestil again. When that happened last it made it violently unstable when exposed to sunlight.

If I don't hear a bang in the next quarter of an hour I'll join you.

Dartskipper · #**4137** 3rd December 2018, 20:12

Would that be the same sock he uses as an emergency filter in the MGO fuel feed?

Tom Alexander · #**4138** 4th December 2018, 08:08

Valparaiso tomorrow - hopefully word has not yet got down from Lima about our shore side antics.

Mr. McCloggie, perhaps you could find the H flag for us -- the last time I saw it Tmac had it rigged as an awning on his funnel suite sliding door -- keeping the sun out and off his precious plaid boiler suit.

Varley · #**4139** 4th December 2018, 11:28

I don't know about the diesel filter but the ones he's wearing now are odd. One red and one white - don't go with his brothel creeper safety shoes at all.

Mention the GD in any port, some will blench, some will faint, some will get all loved up and some reach for the shotgun.

Ah, fantasy, you are a warm bedfellow.

Varley · #**4141** 4th December 2018, 15:02

I think that is more a fart than a blench.

Engine Serang · #**4142** 4th December 2018, 22:41

Below is moved from another post.

" Mr mcCloggie, breakfast in bed for Tmac, please.
A large Bloody Mary and 2 soft boiled eggs. A nice tray with one of them wee roundy lacy things to please him.
Any supplementary fee to my account please. "

At my age I cannae handle two web sites, SH & SN. Which one should I be serious on and talk about Brexit and climate Change etc, And which one can I introduce an element of forced jollity. Forced Jollity is code for abusing Mr V, the Laird of Mona. In fact bugger it I'll act the clown on both and keep using barbed language towards Bank Line.

Varley · #**4143** 5th December 2018, 01:04

That is really good news E-S. However having breakfast in bed with McCloggie, undressed of a short net curtain nightshirt (only fraternal affection though that, I am sure, implies), might frighten the horses and should be gratification denied until you are on leave together.

I thought his late Majesty had it as "Bugger Bognor" but I'll Go with Bugger Bank Line. "Vivat the Diamond D" (and to a lesser, but honourable extent ….. Marconi, Texaco and Fyffes).

Away, away, with Fyffes and drum, here we come, full of run, etc., etc.,

Valparaiso, How frightfully Jolly Chaps.
A pre docking party in the PAX lounge on my tab.

Mr.V has a topping recipe for Banana Daiquiri. It was very popular with Ffyfes and eventually led to its demise.
Do they grow bananas in Chile? Do they grow chillies (Jalapenos) in Chile? Does it matter, they were very nice to our three boys on Top Gear when the Argies turned nasty. I do hope BB /TA/ FJ are not harbouring thoughts of berthing in Argentina, fond and all as I am of a monster Rib-Eye. No greasy Argie will share my air-conditioning although Conchita can share my bunk.
As for bereakfast, Mr McCloggie was to organise it, not be it. Like Captain Main Waring I sometimes I feel I'm dealing with a bunch of idiots.

Engine Serang · #**4147** 5th December 2018, 08:28

What threadarenwe on??? Bloody US keyboards.

FFS lads youse have gone and put Tmac in a huff, he will sulk for a week, wear his Foreman's bowler hat down the engine room and make our lives a misery. BB and Mr V I'm relying on youse to humour him and fill him with something distilled on board which has been filtered thro a piece of Lingere preferably of the female kind. Nought queer abart Mr T.

Varley · #**4148** 5th December 2018, 11:34

You mean a hand of idiots, surely.

You are right. He's been awf'y quite since he caught Paddington making Irish marmalade. Do you suppose he might have mistaken Paddington for a Mexican Grizzly - they probably both have a similar accent.

Farmer John · #**4149** 5th December 2018, 17:44

Valleyperaiso! A name to conjure with, mentioned in song and...song mainly.

Sorry lads, bit distracted of late, Mum is heading for the other yard which is surprising as she never worked on a boat in her life.

Forgive me if I appear to disappear from time to time. I'm still here, sort of
