Re: John Sabourn has had a fall.
One of those emails came to me.
If vernon says he did not receive either of them then he did not.
On this website I will not tolerate any criticism of those without whose help the site would not exist, namely Vernon and Mike.
As very, very few help those that do are very much appreciated by me, we have been down this ridiculous road before and, believe
me, it is not going to happen again.
Start trouble then also start looking for another merchant navy website.
Brian.

Would greatly appreciate Vernon if you would remove my private email address from view!
Would have done that but must have missed this Yesterday, i notice that you sent Mike a message to do it! No Drama but why not PM me about it ??
Yes a Hulabaloo possibly but not a charade and one that needed clarification, as i did not receive any Emails to my Inboxes (Private) from you.
The only one was Re Directed to me via Brian Probetts!
Enough said
Cheers

Yes Marian can be a thorn in peoples sides, but the lady has never tried to teach us our jobs, or compete on a story basis unlike some shore people who have appeared on here who because they had been on a ferry or on a cruise thought they knew our jobs better than we did. I hope we can all proceed amicably together on a voyage that will have mainly calm waters but as on any voyage may encounter rough waters, but as seafarers we will take that in our stride.
with respect

Hello Ivan
Thank you for this and i do appreciate the reply.
We have got along fine Ivan and i was just upset at what i read, but as an old Seaman mate, Water under the Bridge with you and me, all is good so no worries!
Can understand your support and admire you for it.
Only hope that my fair doings will also be rewarded , i dislike having to remove or Ban anyone ! So yes hoping for calm WATERS now Ivan.
Take Care and again Thank You Sincerely!
