Remember the old Virtual Ship? Wonder if that New Fangled Female Cadet Thing Les B.Ann is still around?
Those days seem long gone now.Those palmy barmy carefree gay(oops!) days before sockpuppets and trolls and nasty Burmese site hackers had joined our saucy lot.What a laugh or two we had.....using an old 1957 Esso roadmap to navigate the Channel, going hard to cardboard to avoid the large rock it depicted in the Dover Strait,which turned out to be a drop of dried up pasta dropped on the table.... then always trying to avoid Den's tab-nabs......forever trying to recruit crew members in every port.
I think it was called the m.v.VIRTUALITY (apologies to Everards fans!,) also known as m.v.CALAMITY.
Last known sighting of her was here,I think..Attachment 13852
Ah Les B Ann and all the others, the Welsh witches, where are they now, living next door to Brian I wonder???

Language evolves and changes so quickly doesn't it.
Does anybody here remember the time when a tranny was a miniature radio?

Re: Ship losing its deck cargo of Cars.
I thought it was a miniature Radio , I expect Cappy has a different sort up there in the frozen North East , I have seen the movie , I think he is definitely a bloke and he looked a bit like Kirk Douglas

Yes, but you must make sure it is spelt with a TR and no other letter.
