Re: Present Waffle
Lewis, it appears apart from having a lot of time on your hands, you may also have been in the wrong position at sea, perhaps being a stoker may have been more appropriate.

I am sure that is certainly not with in the rules or certainly not the spirit of what this group is about.

As to 'implied threat'.......Don't put words in my mouth Lewis, THOSE are your words not mine It's sound advice considering the mentality of some over there but hey, do as you see fit.
So no threat implied Marian , A word to the wise Lewis your address is here for all to see as are your posts which wouldn't endear you with the lowlife terrorists that still lurk around the hotspots north and south. You wouldn't want to be run out Ireland again...where could you go at your age for goodness sake. and for the record no one was ever run out of Ireland.
Away and annoy your other half Marian. It does confuse me why a 63 year old married woman would be spending so much time on a site talking to a load of elderly ex seafarers, have you ever actually been at sea ? signed on a ship? You would not have lasted very long that is for sure. Back on the ignore list were I should have left you.

Re: Present Waffle
Lewis you miss the point, the Royal family are no different to any other, a normal disfuntional one.
As to Andrew, so he was a friend of a sus guy, does that make him guilty.
I met with Reggie Kray a well known gangster once in London, does that make me one of them?
AS to the 'Troubles' a time well left to history and not reserected...........ever.
Most of the problems with Harry and many others is the media, any story they can convolute to sell copy they will.
Lewis you put in some very good post about your time at sea, you sound like a man with experience, yet when it comes to shoreside matters you somehow jump ship.
I will say hello to good old Tipp with any luck next year and enjoy a drink with all the good people we know there.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
