Hi All. For the life of me I can't ever remember having a birthday when I was at sea. I had to work it out on my discharge book what ship i was on when I had my 21st. British Piper probably up the Persian Gulf eating that awfull grub they served up. cheers Des
I was on the Ivernia, sitting in my cabin with a pint feeling sorry for myself when a couple of the lads called me into the next cabin. There too was the cake of mashed spuds and most of the tourist wingers turned out to be quite a night. Nice to have friends. Pete in sunny California
