Re: the old man
#8... ME ME ME I'm 17. Went to sea in 2013, and after listening to all you old fellahs thought it was going to be the answer to my dreams. I blame that bloke Cappy for raising my hopes, found it the most boring and wasted life, so resigned and went back to my paper round this year. A pox on you Cappy. They even reduced my paper round wages whilst gone. JS

Never mind Ivan, Cappy still likes you. There again he also likes sheep so be careful. JS
