Have you looked through your Threads capt.
Search Results - The British Merchant Navy - Old Friends Plus (merchant-navy.net)
Too many for me to trawl through but i am sure they are there
Cheers
If you just go through all the Swinging the Lamp Topics on the Right hand side you should come up with them.

Vernon, times are hard for our Brian, no cruising just now.
Maybe just drowning his sorrows a bit too much.
Come on Brian, they are there, have you ever considered they are hiding from you?
LOL
Happy daze John in Oz.

That's it Vernon, at last thought I was going a bit mad when it appeared no one knew it.
Thanks for all your efforts, much appreciated.
