Men o pause, is that when men paw at any female they meet?
Then of course there ae the Cougars, met a few, who only want you for your money, no good coming to me then.
But with the right woman behind you there is every chance you will be pushed the way she wants you to go.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Merchant navy crs10 log book questions - Edward blanch 954849
He had a wife and 5 children at home although the youngest was 11 when he signed up. He wrote to them all individually every month without fail and luckily the youngest of his daughters is still alive, and she kept all her letters he sent her. He spoke very highly of all the men he served with and I'm sure if it hasn't been for the St david sinking and so becoming ill shortly after he would have carried on into the 50s and 60s he intimated as much in his letters. He started out at 17 on the T.S Cornwall and dedicated much of his life to service at sea, as has been said more of a lifestyle than an occupation. As for Joe Dalzell who Terry mentioned bless him for continuing on so long I hope he had a peaceful end and was given a good memorial.
