The Funnel Suite incorporating the British Steel Room is a bit like a Gentlemams Club, membership by invitation and no more than 50% Ladies.
The menu's, Vittals and Wine come up from the Galley where Sweaty Toby is in command of the deep fat fryer and all orders come with chips and grave A . Security is provided by a rather jolly Ulsterman in a string vest, befriend him at whatever cost, enjoy. Is Patricia of a disposition stable enough to visit the Funnel unaccompanied? I rather think not. Discuss, if you haven't done so already.

Best of luck to you PatriciaAnnT, attempting to get money out of Tmax is a lost cause; the old Miser.
We haven't been introduced but I feel I know you from your appearances on Deadliest Catch with Sig Hansen, Keith Colburn, Jake Anderson and Wild Bill. Mr V believes you add a touch of domesticity cooking in such dreadful conditions, I tend to agree. Serving up Gordon Blue menus every day would make Guy Fieri prove his metal. Sound Girl.

I would sooner she joined us in both dining saloon and smokeroom rather than being put to work in the galley (when there are more of her gender aboard we might convert the funnel suite into a withdrawing room for them - once the atmosphere of failed stay-fresh sock has been burned off).
(Would, anyway, the menues of the Chester-Perry canteen comply with BOT minima?)

No better girl than PatriciaAnnT to manage the BOT, one fortieth of an ounce of pepper per day and the conversion factor for turning stale bread into rancid beef.
And it was you, Mr Dining Saloon, who put the Lady in the galley.

Not at all. I merely suggested we smarten up the dining saloon as we had a lady present. Even Grandmama saw cook every morning to plan the day's meals (saving breakfast, of course). Doesn't mean she peeled a potato or took a slice off the cold ham herself.
No more am I suggesting I expected her to burn Tmac's stash of used stay-fresh hosiery before she can use the funnel suite for her withdrawing. I am not sure we don't need just to dampen them slightly and they will brew up all by themselves.

We on MV/SS/GT GD2 are far too inward looking, we are world class and should sell our goods to the world. Publicity, publicity is what we need, ideas to BB and FJ.
I suggest we run aground in some major canal, my choice is the very fine Manchester Ship Canal but with the recent rains every town from Sydney to Townsville has a canal. Lay out a course for Campbelltown or Toowoomba 2/O and don't spare the horses.

Campbelltown sounds good. It was a pleasant place when I was there in about 1962. I wouldn't mind going back for a break providing that it hasn't changed since then.
Here is a pic so that our fearless navigators will know when we are there! There is a coal mine nearby for bunkers.

with the amount of Diesel and oil in them there socks they would be ideal for flashing up the Donkey Boiler.
As PAT's Back aboard, lets not forget that she is a lady of class and beauty worthy of respect. No carnal thoughts please gentlemen. ETA Sydney Harbour 22.00 hrs. 2 harbour tugs will take over the barge from there and we can berth at the deep end of Darling Harbour for fuel and stores as required.

Happy Easter everyone.
A Baileys Irish Creme Easter Egg reception will be held on the Flag Deck at 11.00 Z. The Padre may say a few words but after last years shindig, discretion etc.

Werthers paid off in the canal (third degree burns and contusions caused by a hurled stay-fresh sock while butling in the funnel suite), I'm back on the bottle.
(Missed the Messiah yesterday - Handel's not Godot - should be on the disk for tonight courtesy of 'enjoy again' or whatever it's called).

I think the 2nd part is on this evening. Would that we could get some of our savages, sorry shipmates to listen, breasts may be soothed. Ladies can prepare the buffet.

As far as I can see from the RT yesterdays's was BBC2's National Opera complete covid performance. Perhaps radio today? Not so much savages onboard but furious nations raging.

As an Easter treat I shall ride my unicycle around the promenade deck while in the nuddy save for an Easter Lilly inserted in my stern gland.
 Now don't say I never entertain the crew type persons. Video recording or still photography is permitted upon receipt of the usual fee (12 ounce Black Bush)

Hmm. Perhaps savages was correct after all, E-S. (At least he's not one of those Chiefs that goes around with a small, usually neon equipped, screwdriver in his top pocket. Such men are like Cassius but only in the one respect, the only thing he does too much is Black Bush).

Little wonder he has so much trouble with his stern gland, what next? At least nothing will get caught in the spokes.

Bugger. BB cut out yesterday so download of Messiah failed. Tried again overnight.
Submit Lambeg not really Handellian but would be marvelous to open Verdi's Requiem - better get his days of wrath over musically without involving us. Wouldn't like to cross him armed with such orchestral artillery. What is this strange conductor? I did warn you of plumbers bearing leckie tools. The frequency will be all over the place using a supple cable, going down and up as the tension goes up and down. We might get just enough juice down it to heat the kettle water but we'd better get one of those AC/DC models off the plasticos.

I feel possitive that might bring about a Negative response, sorry to transist but couldn't resist it. Terrible stuff electricity, cant see it or hear it but by heck I have felt it a time or two.

For those who want to hear Handel’s Messiah. This is a superb performance by The Tabernacle Choir. A full 3 hours or so, a wee improvement on the BBC’s one hour show. Enjoy.
https://youtu.be/7hhcURZVx5k Happy, if belated Easter to you all on SH. KR
