Re: Doing a John Sabourn
hi john sabourn #6
good evening well for all your ills to both yourself and your good wife you have not lost your sense of humour, and im sure in your life you will have not have suffered fools and i believe that will always be you, you are a man that i would have been more than honoured to have sailed with and called a friend, my friends that i have around me are of similar age to yourself and of the same character and back ground, those characteristics are bred into you from birth and im afraid this generation coming forward will never attain them, the times are changing indeed they are,
but i bet you remember sucking the monkey or lapping the admiral or maybe riding the pony all are axioms used in describing broaching the cargo used when ships where ships and men where men.
my regards to your wife,
tom

Re: Doing a John Sabourn
Hi John.
Just went down for my implant, prostate cancer receding so all good, but the best part was the Dr asking me if his third year student could interview me as I was the best patient he had. Lovely Chinese girl did the interview and asked me if I'd mind if she read out her notes at the next lecture at Canberra Hospital, I said not a problem that's how people learn.
Hope you and Gwen are now boxing clever and both looking out for the other.
Cheers Des

Re: Doing a John Sabourn
I have no blood pressure problems apart from when the Pm comes on TV.
Wife has some though, currently on experimental tabs to see if it can be reduced.
Apart from that all is good, but the bottle is now empty, excuse me while I find another.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
