We can get into it BB before Mr V and the rest wake up.
This is one of the advantages of being on our side of the world.
Need to be wary of ES though as he is a bit unsure of his location and could appear at any moment. Bit like the Cheshire Cat, perhaps?

ES has just been told that he will be lucky to get out of this world alive so he's out on a bender hoping to finish up at Mother Hubbard's for a turnip fry up.

Happy me. Just back from bonnie Scotland where a slack handful of seafaring old hacks had lunch in Hope street. Long way to go for a glass or two, even, but a short way to go for that class of company.

Tawny. I say again Tawny. Easy enough to get a bucket or so from the Port tank but with Vintage we'd have to have a cubic metre of decanter. Rocking that is just as bad as shaking the bottle!

note to self:
Must order a few cases of TAWNY for Mr Varley,

Tanoy. Attention all Crew. Stand by for docking. Cut outs get them stringy things ready. hang them cushion things over the Starboard wall.
Stop engines, let her drift in a bit, slow astern Port, stop.
2 and 1 each end. Gangway when you can and shore supply cable.

Welcome to Singapore guys.

A few? What say I do genny watches and you put the cash saved on shore power towards 'many' or even 'extremely many'? A few won't get me as far as passing the bar outbound (the only sort of bar I find it easy to pass).

A gentleman, sir. You surely made some fine judging decisions to get to where you are today.

oh dear so much has changed here, Even Buggis street is not the same. Cab driver said he knows of a bar not too far away that opens in the evenings with "entertainment", music, Girls(?) and food.

Cab driver reckons its now over at clark Quay ES. we could go see the Ice Cream Museum or even the National museum. I think there are still a couple of OLD church buildings around. Hardly recognise things these days.

After falling down the accommodation ladder I'm surprised you made it to Bougis. Another Mars Bar for the Chief.

Bougis street (as was), too posh for a merchant sailor boy? Who was it then provided the flaming rsole recitals? The amateur bunch I suppose.

I suppose equal equality requirements would have lead to her forcing an opening.

Ping Pong balls?

I must of been back on board having a mug of Horlicks and reading a chapter of Treasure Island when that was going on.

(There's a depth to Tmax that his shipmates were unaware of, crafty bugger).

Now we know who gunged-up the control room kettle. At least you didn't spill any on my mattress (my teddy bear smells a little odd 'though).

I didn't tell Rusty any such thing! How does he know you have hairy legs anyway? The standard assumption is that it is another part of the plumbers' anatomy that's most often affected.

The kettle will probably be clean enough by smokeo tomorrow. I had forgotten the 12-4 use it to warm their cognac, even gets most of the 8-12's evening pot-noodle debris off.

To stop your teddy bear smelling fusty you need to play with it a bit more and wipe it when you have finished with it.

My teddy bear is faithful and would never take Horlicks from a stranger.

Ballynmuck Village Hall??? I rather think not. We don't do Highways and Byways.

Highwayand byways, let me tell you, Ballynmuck has two pubs and a P.O. and only 20 miles from Carrick. it's main buisness is watching a cow roam round a field and blathering outside the P.O. about the lady with the large chest.......You dont know how to live in Dublin.
