Virtual Ship

[Terry Wilcox]

Addressed to Taffy x 2. Oh dear Taffy, are you trying to remember your old days at sea ( blows and sucks ), I don't know what you mean.... No one has wrote in for a couple of days, it must be all the drinks and parties that they are having in the cabins and keeping half the crew awake all night. Well it's time to get up and get the range going for breakfast, let Den have a lay in, he has had a hard time latley cooking tab-nabs for you lot. Take care.....Terry

[Michael Lawrence]

Well the time has come for me to depart to deepest Cornwall for a break as Den and Terry have worked me to the bone, in fact there's more meat on a Yorkshire rib than there is on me. So I is off to Polperro to partake of pasties as they should be and Doom bar bitter. before I depart on Sat., I must away to the specialist Fri., for him to check the heart monitor that I'm wearing (I always hankered to be a monitor at school) and to give me a stress test. I did tell him that having Den,Terry, Madmick, and Wilkie in the galley was stress enough for anyone. He insists I get on the treadmill even tho I told him the Skipper has me provide the power for port and starboard lights via a treadmill. He also want's to know if my heart beats in line, I told him after a couple I can't even walk in line. Well my dearest shipmates ( ever the crawler) I will sign off and hope to catch you all again in the near future. If Den should wash up on the beach down in Cornwall I will try and give him the kiss of life after renewed the bonding of my teeth. I hope he has one of those blown up girlies with him. Mike

Now Mike if you are off to deepest Cornwall then you must keep an eye open for the press gangs that roam the streets there. There is a fleet ofd ships, not as good as ours, and the only crew they can get is by press gang. Heard tell the skipper of one only has one leg and a parrot on his shoulder. They get no food, only the weevils from the biscuits after the weevils have eaten them. Den could make a fortune selling tab nabs to them, but they would most likely want them on account, on account of they aint got no cash. So Mike keep an eye out and keep your teeth in place. Den you might just be right about breakfast, cook has some sausages in the pan and queenie has a very odd look in her eye, just hope the cook has not got a black pudding!

Mike, Polperro used to be my favorite place to go camping. Some good pubs there with Scrumpy for sixpence a pint!!
Have a good time mate. I will try to manage without you [buggers never there anyway]
Watch out for those Cornish nasties. No not the local talant, the pastry.
Maybe John is right, should open a tab-nab shop down that way.Could get more application than I get from this crew.
Den.

[Dennis McGuckin]

Should read appreciation. Yet another senior moment!!

[Terry Wilcox]

Helloo, shush, where is everyone, has the ship sunk???? Take care.....Terry

[happy daze john in oz]

So Den, you used to go CAMPING, does that mean you have been in the closet all these years? But you are not alone, Queenie is eyeing up the new cabin boy, and I caught the bosun giving peg leg the cat a funny look. Think it is about time you maybe started adding a little bromide to those tab nabs, might slow things down a bit.

Hellooooo Terry.
Glad to hear you , ive been on watch for the last few days . Nobody relieved me so i was getting a bit worried that everybody had gone walk- about. Talk about the Mary Celeste. Never mind , put the jug on for a cupper will you, I'm as dry as a nuns proverbials. LAND HO! LAND HO! (i always wanted to say that) Looks like SANTOS on the starboard bow. Hey Terry you watch , now they will come out of the woodwork.

[Les Woodard]

Well Taffy 1 eye your troubles are over as I have sent Queenie up there to relieve you before she hears about Den camping it up in the galley.

[Geoff Anderson]

HO NO, Ive heard a lot about her, not much of a bite , but a terrible suck. and theres me stuck up in the crows nest with no way out. One thing i can do is lock the trap door and stick my spike in its lock that will hold her off for a while. HELPPPPPPPP.
