The Tube Drivers Strike.

[Ivan Cloherty]

If any of the seaman on here had a problem at sea with scousers you brought it on yourself,

Bloody hell, glad I'm not going to heaven, as no chance of getting in, the queue will be full of scousers, hope St Peter doesn't run out of halos, and Wacker don't forget to take the pearly gates back up there when you go. FWE

[Jim Brady]

Ivan didn't you know St.Peter was a scouser.Truthfully the Holy Family were from Liverpool,Bootle in actual fact I used to pass their house on my way to school.Many times on my way to school of a morning I would hear a woman shouting Jesus,Mary and Joseph are you getting up this morning.
Regards.

Marian, Out of the respect I have for you I will break the rule and say this. I never insulted anyone, If I told you, you, are talking a load of crap.... Or out of you hat. You would be insulted and don't forget I sailed with guys just like him, They were never on the same wave length. Wheel amidships Re Terry.

I had intended to stay out of this now but as usual terry starts sending snide remarks which he will deny at a later date.
First.I was born in Liverpool(west derby hospital) and lived some time in Norris green
second.I sailed out of Liverpool for a while.5 trips on the Accra and 1 on the specialist with a full crew of scousersOne of the quotes was"any man who had a problem with scousers at sea brought it on himself.Tell me how would a sixteen year old deck boy bring it on himself enough to have his tinned milk and sugar stolen every week by a 23 year old and then get a kicking in Trinidad when drunk(shouldnt have been) by the same guy and nobody would interject because the 23 yr old had a sidekick we called Garth who was built like a brick outhouse.Had to sort it myself one night and slept the rest of the trip with a hammer under my pillow.
I am curious as to the guys like me you sailed with and how did you get to know me so well
I now consider the matter clo

I was very badly bullied on my first trip as Peggy, from Liverpool, .to the point where I used to climb over the rails at night and count to ten then let go. I used to get up to 9 then climb back inboard. Then I thought I have nothing to lose, If I am going to die then I will take one of the berstereds with me. I battered the next bully, he was from Southampton , who started to beat me up but I won, the bullying stopped. It is in SEAFARING STORIES Thread in Swinging the Lamp forum.

Then in that case John why did I get this?

terry your in a no win situation because you talk a load of crap.
This reminds me of the very old joke about the 2 mothers stood at their front doors watching the troops that had been recruited from their village and were parading through the village to ship out to the trenches(WW1)
One says to the other "Isn,t it a grand sight and look our Terry,s the only one in step.

You should have done what I done as a 17 year old O.S. Took your chance and called his bluff and if you had it in you give him a bloody good hiding and that's not crap its fact. { FINITO}

[john sutton]

Now Cappy #161, we would love to have hands across the sea, hands that could maybe have stroke of that famous leg of Mary, if she is willing of course.

Our proposed rail strike due here Friday has been called off no day off for the workers bugger./
