Life can be so easy: Mentioned I may be away, cancelling my trip thanks to you. realised if the locals look in, I may be robbed. Her Indoors was to distressed to go.
A huge thanks, cost me a few bob, wrecked much.
The personal attacks on site should stop, yours really is the limit.
Ta, Welsh for thank you, as I bite my tongue.
Keith,
Please correct me if I misunderstand the meaning of your post ( a common occurrence I'm afraid), but are you suggesting my pointed sarcasm was responsible for creating a breach of your personal security therefore compelling you to cancel your planned trip to Rotterdam? Aside from the arrant nonsense of such a claim, if, for one moment, I thought my post had caused your good wife distress in any way I would not hesitate to offer a genuine apology, however (and please don't ask me why), I'm inclined to think it's just K at T trawling for a sympathetic shoulder. As the Yanks would have it, there are times when you really are a piece of work. Someone once intimated that contact with you is much like walking on eggshells, how very true! If, occasionally, you took the time to remove your head from your fundamental orifice, you might realise there may be some members who do not hang on your every word, who are not overly concerned in the day-to-day travails of your life and who do not share with you the same level of interest in all of your varied pursuits.
Keith, perhaps if you were less of a busybody and took time out to smell the roses you might find that some of your detractors, like me, would be less inclined to 'snipe'. Although very often quick to express hurt when criticised by others you are equally capable of 'sniping' and dishing out your own brand of disdainful comment, the noticeable difference being that few others play the 'sympathy card' quite as often and as readily as your good self.

Someone asked if the Loonie party led by Screaming Lord Such is still around. Well I have to tell you it has emigrated to Oz, but thankfully the last leader Rudd the dud has nowe departed. However in all his fiscal wisdom he has left the nation with a gift, a wonderous gift thta is costing us some $30mil per day in interest paymenst. Whilst the rest of the world suffered from the ravages of the GCS we here in Oz sailed through, or so we were told! But now the chooks are coming home to roost, The feral erextion nlast year got rid of som eof the problems but left bigger ones which the current gov wishes to fix. Sadly as bad as they need fixing it will not happen, the budget to fix it all, due May 13th, will never pass the senate so the debt cycle will continue until in the end Oz will dissapaer up it's fundemental orrifcie drownding in debt. The current gov has announced that the retirement age will in 21 years time rise to 70! Just catching up with europe.
So you think you have problems making a choice in UK at the next erection, we only have two parties, and the Greens, to choose from, both regularly extend the size of the trough. We are now in a situation that if they extend it any more we will need a bigger parliament house to fit it in.
#73 Roger, how could you, shame on you, he will probably now cancell his trip to Australia in case he bumps into you
Now the question is,
1. Will the flags be flying at half mast in Rotterdam, or will there be extra bunting out for the cancellation you have apparently caused.
2. #64 Keith says he would like a near normal conversation...................... I somehow don't think that is a viable proposition
3. #67 He is concerned about the elections in the Emerald Isle, as it is important to him.............. Why, he lives in the UK
4.#72 The personal attacks on me (Keith) should stop, he bites his tongue in not replying...........if only
I am sure to be censured for this, but eh! ho!
the same thing week after week.......it just a ritual an attention seeking self promoting dialogue......this is a true tale in auckland we had aboard a chap who was not compatible to any one ......he was known as the south shields yank.......he had given one of the catering boys a really hard time......he had been told about it many times but still carried on .......i was 2nd steward it was a tramp ship and it was suggested we leave him i kiwi .....he was helped ashore with a very hard telling that if he came back hewould go over the wall ......he didnt come back .......sadly this ship is not at sea
Your little ship is though Cappy (Avatar). Have finally got round to counting its masts as was making my head spin. 3 masts so is a proper what the dictionary used to call a ship, alas no longer does as is just another vessel now. Cant make out the pennant its flying though. Ref. the South Shields Yank was he a home grown one or another illegal immigrant. Seen that nickname somewhere before, but as the granite city had many imitation ones from different parts of uk may have been a common nickname. That train from Aberdeen to Newcastle used to be full of them, a proper pain in the Ass. Cheers John S Anybody could be an imitation yank, all that was required was a baseball hat, a chequered shirt, pair of expensive Jeans, and the most important item a pair of Redwing boots. Also sunglasses, chewing gum optional. Had to try and decide which part of the states you imagined yourself from and try and use that particular drawl. Many off the rigs thought it gave them an attractive look. Ugh!!! JS
I think we all had the oddball at sea, who did not want to fit in with everyone in general. On one ship we had a guy who was an aggressive weirdo, his hobby was weightlifting and he was about 18st, it was a longish voyage, and as many will recall the best overtime watch was the 4-8, so we would swap watches after a port, trying to be fair. This guy worked round until he was on the 4-8, and then announced that he was not going to change round anymore. the bosun was half scared of him, and was to weak to tell him, so three of us had a little heart to heart with him, and he was in fact a total coward, and nearly s*** himself. needless to say the watches changed round without a hitch KT
####the figure on the pennantwas a woman in bed.....her name was crosseyed mary .....and she had a wooden leg ......when i had my boat john i called her harbour lights .....youhad a boat of your own ...but never told me what her name was....interested regards cappyQuote:
