My best mate who died about 3 years ago was a day older than me. We were going to have a combined 21st. Guess what? He went off to Liverpool to join his first ship on his 21st.

You should be sorry Bill. Those cooks couldnt make a Tab-Nab to save their soul. Thats if they had one in the first place, which is doubtful!

Spent my 3 days in the ships hospital [northern star] strained myself lifting gash down the galley shute. Had to sweet talk the nurse to let me out when we got to Cape Town on my 21st. Had a great day out limped backed and it
was not the strain.

Birthday coming up, always makes me think about birthdays at sea or in port.
My 21st was on the Pinemore, in the Bay of Biscay. As usual in the Bay, blowing a gale.
Took a couple of cases of beer to the mess, but most hands had turned in. Had one beer, wished myself a happy birthday, then hit the sack. Didn't know that my folks had planned a bash for me when I got back,and invited a few girls I knew. Instead of going home,went to Workington[ had met a friendly girl there homeward bound]. Then shipped out again. Do recall having trouble finding a date when I finally did get home.
