The I.O.M. had at least one football player, remember Norman Wisdom played in goal. I would say the I.O.M. WAS MORE OF A HILLOCK THAN A ROCK. I blame Norman for all the Albanians heading this way.

I do hate it so when one's family capital is rudely lowered. I note neither Sir Norman's nor the fictitious (but equally long suffering) Mr. Grimshaw's suffered such an indignity. And done by a shipmate, too - not carrying an Albanian passport are you, Rusty? (note position of comma. ", are you Rusty?" would be quite rude
(I may have to forego my junket on Thursday - Much as I was looking forward to it there is a tickle in my throat although there is still only one red line. Etiquette has changed since Covid. I wonder how acceptable it is to be 'abroad' with a cold?).

tourettes of the fingers eh! ... nasty that!
Norman got a medal from the late Queen (bit like our Chief Injunier) Mr Grimsdale I believe was made Lord Laxey.

Cadbury's disagree, they say that because its good enough for Quality Street does not mean it's good enough for their products.

I prefer a sucky sweet to a chewy sweet.
To choose a sweet by weight puts you in the Private Pike school of making the most of your sweety coupons. BTW what age are you?

I remain heartened that the onset of my second, final, childhood is not yet heralded by the return of my boyhood's sweet-tooth.
Unlike some of my shipmates it seems. (A square of Bourneville Orange anyone? To go with the Colheita.)

Did charity beano Thursday night. Astonishingly His Exc. did not introduce himself. That is two opportunities he has missed, damn close to negligence that, what?
(Probably did notice however as one of my table guests fell on backside when seating herself after loyal toast and at same time threw her glassful over my last employer. To be entirely fair I had used her chairback to assist me in standing and may just have adjusted some of the chair's geographical parameters a tad in doing so. Anyway she enjoyed the attention of the two younger gentlemen in picking her up and, in the unlikely event champagne stains, I am sure the chairman has another shirt).

Now, when does the match start? Not my bag so I thought I would help the boy get rid of the OBS and see if we can raise GD I for a chat after that.

GD1 is now a conundrum wrapped up in an enema so probably best contacted by morse.
One genuinely wonders if Ham Radio is still an interest or hobby or has the internet buggered it.

WTF is all that crackling on the radiomaphone thingy? some body stuck in a queue and can't see? probably pissed from a run ashore playing golf with some Charlie named Romeo. Ah well each to their own I suppose but he wouldn't last 5 minutes in Harland and Bluff with a name like that.
Never mind I have an announcement to all you crew type persons..... testing, testing, Squeek is that macadoriaphone switched on or has Varley buggered it up again? Ahem here we go......... Christmas comes but once a year and when it does its bloody dear Times are tough and very hard so here's your feckin' Christmas card  Seriously here's wishing all of you a wonderful Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year. Sorry I haven't been about as much as I would have liked these past few months but fingers crossed things can only get better (cue song) Take care my friends and my very best wishes to you all and your families

I, too would like to add my best wishes for the season now upon us. Also 'all the best' for 2023.
(The radio room will remain open throughout our stay in the land of port - just don't give the boy to many R/T calls home on the the day) Carols and mulled wine on the forecastle in 20 minutes!
