    What wonders to behold whilst waiting at the bus stop.

    This has opened the floodgates of my memory Mo.
    I have only seen a bowline on a chair once, Suicide Syd went out in a blaze of glory with one around his neck. This was on the Barongedese, he was up the top mast for two weeks until docking at Bander Abbas where a crane with a high enough reach brought him down. We used to stand on deck and admire his all over bronzy, he had never looked so well, losing a few pounds in weight.
    His name is forever engraved in the long and glorious history of the Merchant Navy, being the only person ever to have been posthumously logged for keeping an improper lookout.
    We all missed Syd but Jimmy the Nose came out the winner, he now had a single berth cabin and inherited a pair of high quality go ashore flip flops.
