    Great fun before British forces left and tourists started to spoil things.

    Some years ago I took a very bad turn, found it hard to stand and was not from drink.
    In the end drove to the docs, which on reflection should not have done, but what the hell, got to have some excitement in your life.
    Got inside and almost fell over, had to be put in a wheel chair.
    Get in to see the GP and he asked me if I had Vertigo.

    No mate, about 2 kilometers up the road.

    Not the answer he wanted.
    But he then told ,me after looking in that my ears were blocked with wax.

    Drops in then for a week and had them syringed, great stuff now I can hear her indoors very clearly.
    Such as, 'have you got a second'
    Which translated means I have job for you.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    hi john in oz #30
    good morning, i myself a few years ago after joining a surgery near where i was living, went to see my doctor and after i told him my complaint he called the nurse in and told her to get a wheel chair where i was told to sit, my wife was then called to come immediately to the surgery whereby we where told that i was to go to the hospital immediately, my wife duly took me and i spent the next few hours being examined etc and then i was kept in until the following morning, and told to re-visit my doctor, which that morning i did in company of my wife and fearing the worst, my doctor then proceeded to tell me that i had meniers disease, which being short of the said follicles i was finding it hard to believe, it was the shock of hearing my wife state that i had not got the disease that the doctor insisted that i have, and we where promptly asked to leave the surgery with the said prescription, which i began taking even though my wife had diagnosed a completely different diagnosis than the doctor, to shorten the story the tablets where making me unsteady on my feet and before long i had sense to seek a private consultation, whereby he syringed my ear and i walked away as good as gold.
    so the moral is always listen to the wife, she knows best.

    -

    Probably that was part of the pre-departure testing of engine and controls,which we were/ still are required to do ,Victoria,usually 30 mins to an hour or so before sailing.We never called it the horn,it was always the whistle!
    Just to satisfy Doc's requirement to get back on topic I will say....er.....to stand on the funnel deck when the whistle sounded would just be like having your ears syringed !

    Thomas #31, just goes to show that not all GP are that smart.
    Wonder how many others have had the wrong diagnosis and got sicker than they were before?

    I know my wife had a bad turn and I had to call the Ambos, four hours in hospital from 2300 hours on.
    Turned out she is alergic to some forms of Paracetomol, so now the pharmacy we use has her listed to ensure any script does not have that in it.

    #35. Just showmanship Victoria most ships used to sound 4 long blasts when leaving port , was supposed to Mean farewell, you as a passenger would have been told , other ships in the port if they had steam on their whistles and hadn’t had any upsets with you whilst in port would sound 3 long blasts in reply , they may have put up two fingers as well . The Spirit of Tasmania though may just have blown one blast to conserve her energy as she was in and out like a swinging door for want of a better saying. JS

    #33 Might also need a brolly for the shower which would probably follow. Heres a query for you Graham , would maybe better for a meteorologist to answer , if you remember the term Dewpoint and what it means , just to remind you, it is the temperature at which air must be cooled to cause condensation. Do you think all that water coming out of the whistle has anything to do with climate change . Have shortened the query to make it easier, Cheers JS

    Well,in 20 years at sea I've never heard of that John-the 4 long blasts farewell ,and have never sounded the 3 long blasts in reply! I live and learn
    The only time I heard a cacophany of whistles ,apart from in port on New Year's Eve was on tele when Winston Curchill's funeral procession passed up the Thames in 1965.
    Other than that, we once blew the whistles in Takoradi,Ghana when a deceased big chief of the port's funeral cortege did a circuit of the docks en route to his burial place.Think the dockers had a half day holiday too....and a bottle or tin of beer each which I think would have been donated or bartered from the ships in port!
