life was an unforgettable experience spent in some exotic corner of the world, locked in the firm embrace of a Gina Lollobrigida look-alike with a nymphomaniac disposition, overcome by her sweet-scented breath as into my starboard ear she whispered mind-boggling suggestions for ways to further enhance the wonderment of our copulation ROGER.

. Bah Gum Roger,
You could have made a fortune writing those yarns in the Port Said Book Club.
Cheers

Thrown out
Not my 21st but still the arrogance of youth.
Absolutely rat faced in a bar in Cristobal, went for a pizz and in came this coloured gentleman who was certainly built like they were all said to be.
Could not resist letting all and sundry in the bar about this amazing fact so once back in the bar shouted at the top of my voice,
"you should see the size of the guy in the pissore, hung like the proverbial donkey".
Result
Thrown out by the scruff of the neck as the club was not the usual Cristobal bar but the service club for the (then) American workers of the Panama canal company.
Should have realised it was different as all the girls were well dressed and refused my offer of 20 bucks for a short time.
Staggered back to the ship in a sorry state made even worse by getting thrown down the gangway of an American flagged ship tied up astern of us after deciding that it would be a good idea to cement the "special relationship" that the USA and UK enjoy. Much to my surprise the huge QM on gangway duty did not see it in quite the same light and after a short discussion picked me up and literally threw me down the gangway.
Worst part was having to be up 3 hours later for the transit, massively hung over and battered and bruised from a**ehole to coffee time.
Oh the joys of youth

I try to forget Cristobal , a Scottish Engineer took me to a night club where the young lady dancing on the tables performed a party trick by picking up coins off the top of a wine bottle , hands free , My drinking buddy thought they might be a little cold for her , so warmed them up with a Ronson Varaflame lighter , she let out a piercing scream and sizzle , we got kicked out , literally kicked
