Early tide, bloody typical. Everyone up in the middle of the frigging night.
Sail on the afternoon tide, oh no the Office might think we were slackers. Come on FJ stamp your individuality on this rustbucket.

That is my definition of an early tide. If it's before noon it's a prehistoric bastard.

High tide, 7.26. SE, If you want to fart about all day (and we know you are capable) and then turn to for the next tide at 19.31, do it. We will have gone.
7.26, we have a good day ahead of us. 19.31, we have one half-hearted member of crew moaning away at Lerwick, but we won't hear this as we will have about 10 hours steaming behind us, a well satisfied crew gently digesting Left Over turkey curry and a new year ahead of us.

Turkey Curry now 11 days old. Grab an Andrex before the Batti Wallah gets them all.

Not knowing who or what a 'Batti Wallah' is or was I Googled it and came up with this:
http://www.pandosnco.co.uk/engineers.html I found it an interesting read and which might be of interest to some aboard the GD as we cruise for warmer climes albeit I don't think that it is what ES was referring to but. If we head for Victoria or NSW we won't need to worry about funnel smoke but, on the other hand, but we could perhaps help HMAS Choules rescue a heap of traumatised people off a beach somewhere. It's pretty sad down down here at the moment. Could it be said that there is an element of 'Oil and Water' aboard the GD??????????? 43C one day 20C the next in Melbourne (more or less anyway) Last edited by YM-Mundrabilla; 6th January 2020 at 01:00.

Well, now that the news is a little better from the colonies I won't feel guilty in inviting you to my house for a birthday drink. The galley has put on my favourite Nasi Goreng (culinary fusion a la crew Chinois) to follow and there will be a tab nab. Sir William is excused (ie don't bring your germ dripping, virus breathing, creaking frame anywhere near this deck or we'll have you hosed down and banged up in the brig with a double lock on the door) I'll send down a tot and a skewer of pork satay.

Dartskipper, please can we sail for a meeting with Varley, we got sidelined from a visit on our way to Lerwick and his invitation is very welcome.
Sad to leave Lerwick but glad to be going South.

Have no fear Mr Varley, I will stay in the sick nay till I get the all clear from Sister. Wouldnt want my worst enemy going through this, its round my neck and throat where it is exposed to the world.
I thank you kindly for the Tot and skewer, most civil of you dear chap and most appreciated. My only permitted visitors down here are the plasticos and cut outs. Apparently they are immune to the said virus from hell.

In fairness the half-life of Turkey Vindaloo is indeterminable and paired with Chef V's delish naan bread and pillau rice is indestructible. No need for freezing or vacuum packing.

Anybody ever tried a curried Ulster Fry?... just asking out of curiosity like
 Sir William, sympathetic as the injun room crew are to your plight you are herewith barred from entering said compartment until issued with a chitty for a clean bill of health. We are fermenting a new batch of "falling down water" and do not wish to risk any cross contamination

Right oh brave boy, you're off my Christmas Card list. And things are so dismal I may have to reinstate Varley. I do not like posting to the Isle of Man because I regard them as Third World and just about preventing themselves printing triangular postage stamps.

I do not encourage the two way (or one way) dispatch of festive firelighters. An anodyne greeting across the waves of SN or SH is more than adequate, perhaps Email. Just to know who still breaths without, at such festive time, the bad manners of letting-on if one approves of that individual state or not (the humidity, anyway, makes them difficult to stand up on the mantelpiece let alone light, just as it prevents triangular stamps from sticking).
The Christmas curry includes the baconny and sausagie bits of the Big Boxing Day Breakfast - an event not too different from an Ulster fry if not tackled on such a regular basis.

The IOM Fry is an Ulster Fry, without the bacon, sausage, white pudding, black pudding, fried soda farls and fried potato bread. The Wee Free's would approve of the IOM Fry. And that tells you a lot. And you can stick your muesli up your jumper.

You have not had the education of one of my breakfasts! Whist I agree with you about muesli it is bowelgrip. A necessary evil. Even Uncle Bruv would have changed his diagnosis that the only benefit to be had from cereal which were not All-bran came only from the cardboard carton.
If you get the bowelgrip over with, by consuming it whilst preparing the food for the oven (one should include the fruit ration as well which I do with half a melon) it will take your mind of how ghastly it is to get down. Then it's the pills and off for the morning ablutions after which the breakfast will be ready to serve (bar the eggs which are best as a last minute 'thing'). Soda farts? How would I recognise one of these should one pass by?

More fashionable crap. Secret Santa (opened today) has given me beard oil. At what point of a beard's survey cycle does one apply this strange lubricant? Or is it only for when it squeaks?
