You know,guys,I used to think that this was one of the best of the Merchant Navy sites on the web, with many interesting topics and tales of nautical interest,but over the last few months it seems to have deteriorated into just another humdrum 'social'-networking blog.

Hi Jim. I 've never been bothered if nobody replies to my posts.
Lately I don't feel the need to participitate in any old banter...I do like reading all of the nautical-themed topics like Searching for Old Shipmates,Personal Tales,and Ship History ,WW1/2 remembrance articles etc.
Much of the other 'banter '(and we used to have it all the time at sea!),leaves me cold.

Regards
Gulliver

Came on to the" Off Topic Section" for some much needed R and R, a bit if fun and just for a change. I have enjoyed joining in and love the BLACK STUFF, but please all take it as it is meant, light hearted and informative. We are all mates and need not fall out as it seems some are possibly on the road to: TAKE ALL WITH A PINCH OF SALT, which is actually rather good with BP along with a sprinkle of cracked black pepper.

More than likely be back to research and remembering next, but will look in for a laugh and a chat again soon, hope you guy's will all be here and be as alway's mates and friend's.

Regard's K.

The Goodies once did a sketch about a Yorkshire sporting contest known as "Ekky Thump" Contestants would beat each other with very large black puddings untill one of them submitted, So I reckon Tiger and Jim should retire to no 5 hatch and revive that noble sport. While we all watch and make bets. Cheers Albi.

Shake hands and get on with having a great time. The world would be a boring place if we all thought the same - Agree to dis - agree if nec, but remember this is the British Merchant Navy - LOOKING FOR OLD FRIENDS. Emphasis on friends - Ship Mates ?

Hi everybody, obout the black puddings . It was only meant light heartedly and something we would probably all have debated on board after a few cans or three, If somembody had brought it up!. I thank you for all your responce, I have taken in all your comments on the best black pudding in the world ! It would appear that it as upset a few members of our community to which I am sorry . The reason I love this site is because its like being back at sea with all your old ship mates and lets face it, when we got in the pig and had a can or three we talked about anything. I personly feel that if we didnt diverse now and again that this site woudnt be the great site that we have all come to love. sincere appologies , All the best to everybody . Wilky

I see Gulliver is not happy with some of our comments and subjects, his right to disagree. But the fact is we area very diverse group with one common thread, the love of the sea. we are one big happy family who from time to time have little spats. So we are really just like any normal disfunctional family. But I love it all lads, the diversity, the tales, the commenst, so keep 'em coming.
