Salary cheques? Now, that's an original concept. Beats passing the Skipper's cap around the deck gang and any stray passengers. Anyway, the standard of helmsmanship on the GDII is top class. Who else can write their autograph in the sea at 27 knots? After all, there is no point in having a steering engine if the CE doesn't want the lads in the wheelhouse to put it to good use. I did hear a rumour that the lower ranking members of the "black gang" had already started their "Let's welcome the New Year" pranks by substituting laundry powder for dishwashing machine powder in the Galley. The results will be similar to that occasion when the plasticos emptied bottles of Fairy Liquid in the fountain in Trafalgar Square at the Millenium celebrations.(Some of them may have been West Ham United supporters, I believe. They were heard singing "I'm forever blowing bubbles." Unless Bubbles was one of their contingent. Hehehe.)
Happy New Year to all hands. |

Poor Tmac, so misunderstood and neglected. However, you can choose to come up on deck and enjoy the sunshine and the company of your fellow crew members, without the bribery of copious amounts of Black Bush. They aren't a bad lot and they know that they would be going nowhere without your expertise. I don't know how you survive down in the bowels of the ship with all that noise and grease. Yuk! Perhaps I could come down sometime and do some basic housework for you. I promise not to go anywhere near your injuns.

Haven't seen the whole series but there was one of the 'later episodes' on TV here in Oz the other day. Just reconfirmed my view that the original was by far the best of those that I have seen.

I can confirm that we have snuck out of Lerwick and are on our way to Copenhagen. Should be a nice visit according to the tourist ad:

Spoilsport, I was hoping to unbolt her and then mount her on the wheelhouse top

Why on top of the Wheelhouse? We don't want to see your shenanigans. Put me off my breakfast, so it did.

Well, don't stomp too loudly. Our Chief Injuneer doesn't take kindly to unexplained noises above his Pit. I would hate to see you suffer the dire consequences of his senior hand zooming up your trouser leg to explore the origins of the noises.

Oh! A resident expert, Eh? Perhaps you would be so kind, if we hire a tour bus you could be our guide on a mobile bar crawl? Need a bus with lots of seats to hold any young ladies who wish to participate along the way?

And just what will Sir William be organising for this young lady who may not wish to do a bus tour? What about me? Hmmm, that could be the title of a song. Oh, think it already is.

I have always tried to avoid stomping on the upper decks and I would certainly not want to disturb TMac and his crew.

As for a trip round Copenhagen - no problems!
We can start in the Esplanaden/Nyhaven area. I have organised some international friends of the female variety from a certain Danish shipping company to join us. Once settled, we can head on to Cristian's before going on to Vesterbegoden. An alternative shopping and eating trip can also be arranged for those of a nervous desposition! McC |

Why you evil, scurrilous, thoughtless noncomepoop -- would you purposely raise our center of gravity, decreasing our transverse metacentric height and increase the period of roll and the resulting angle of heel ????? Any comparatively new crew members would probably be feeding the fish!!
