Tom Hanks new film "Captain Philips"

had as stowaway on a tanker we were running down to suez from Abadan .......wouldn't turn to ...so made to sleep on deck .....court in the night taking food from the mess.......nobody ate it anyway every night tinned pilchards and bread ....in those temps......all hands pi..ed off one morning wasn't there ......nobody saw anything ......he must have jumped........a german old man put a famous Newcastle footballer over the wall and was charged with murder ........I think more than one were put over the wall....intimes gone by.....saw one trouble cause filled in and left in Auckland on the dock area......nobody seemed bothered

#28 Think he means brain Cappy. I do have my barin switched on to dancing girls during the day, but they refuse to get into bed at night. Cheers John Sabourn

if I can get them in the bed as one Geordie to another can we share them.....but bags first pick

be careful what you wish for John- some time ago a guy called Herod had your namesakes head removed after being treated to Salome's Dance Of The Seven Veils. No more baptisms for him!!

wot know head

If got no head wont need the wax treatment John Sabourn

What happened to an earlier post from someone in Canada, saying there was talk about the real crew of vessel taking the real Capt. Phillips to court and suing for endangering their lives needlessly. Or has the receipts from the movie been enough to pay them off on the quite. Cheers John Sabourn

I saw the film recently in my local multiplex, there were seven of us in total watching. I can recall 'when i were a lad' queueing up at my local cinema ( at least three times a week) to watch a film and sometimes waiting for hours as the performances were continuous and it was a case of one out and one in. You could sit there all day if you wanted, but some managers had a knack of spotting patrons who had overstayed their welcome- so when a powerful torch was shone in your face you knew the game was up. I really enjoyed the Tom Hanks film- he deserves an oscar for his performance, especially in the closing scenes, and the actors playing the Somali pirates really scared the s**** out of me.
