Twisted & Bent? Sounds like a firm of gay solicitors.

Re: Gay Murders
Can anyone say what connection these murders have with the British Merchant Navy? Perhaps I am missing something.

Re: Gay Murders
Hi Derek
Nothing at all really, but as this site caters for all kinds of things , it has many Topics as you can see, so this is just another of the Topics not related to the Merchant Navy!
Its a site not only for ex Merchant Navy Men, but for one and all.

Re: Gay Murders
#3, John, We took our hand guns home with us as we were still wearing our uniforms. Once home they were unloaded and handcuffed through the breech, even on our days off they were at home. the only exception was when on leave and away, then they were stored in the detachment safe....It was like that for my 30 years with the force....

Hi Stan.
He had his gun but the police now say that the ammo was not issued.

Derek.
Don't tell me you never met a Queen when you were at sea? They where part and parcel of the MN, many went through the war in the Atlantic, mind you I will admit that they now seem a bit over the top.
