Re: Tony Wilding (This really shook me )
I am all in favour of what is proposed for Tony. A snapshot, they can be like an 'honor roll'.
As for Crossing the Bar too much exposure (of our exposures) could liken it to being whacked in the kisser and ending the voyage across in a heap by the barman or barmaid's feet. But then, we've already crossed it, haven't we?
Amazing where some ladies get there strength from when they're riled!

Re: Tony Wilding (This really shook me )

Re: Tony Wilding (This really shook me )
I cant remember seeing in Tonys posts anything for him to be ashamed of. We are all men of the world so to speak and mostly past the age where it doesn't really matter anymore. We are what we are, in fact most of us would not change our previous way of life. It was changed for us without our compliance. There is too much political correctness imposed on us outside of the site as it is. John Sabourn PS if cappy promises anything don't hold your breath, the 40 cases of beer if they ever arrive will be past their use by date when/if they arrive. Still waiting for rusty Rita who must have been abducted by pirates and molested, although the pirates will get a shock when their bits and pieces fall off with corrosion. JS

#16 What ever you do Brian Declare them you know what the customs are like here. Just say they were given to you by a dubious character just in case he has slipped anything else in there. May even have put Ritas bra and knickers in .Cheers John Sabourn
