Hi All, I have just had a thought, if any of my crew mates have a birthday, THEN we could get a OXO cube with any flavour and put candle in it, ( It would save me from making a cake ). and if you want a rum flavour we could get Den to breathe all over it??? By the way "where is Den", Take care..... Terry.

Den, last seen chasing a new menu half way across the Sahara so he said. Fact is it was Sarah he was chasing and for more than just a menu. Like the rest of this motley A.W.O.L. crew who will all have some outrageous excuses for being ashore, such as the one put forward by Vernon, gone to get some new corks for the bottles! What bottles, he sold them all including the contents.

Hi Terry.
Den has scampered down south and is sunning himself in some dessert, and knocking back the cactus juice whilst sitting by the pool.Or was it knocking at the back of the pool, whilst sitting on a cactus.
John in a daze. That paint we got, ive had a look at it and I don’t how me are going to use it. 50% of the cans are full of purple and yellow striped paint and the other cans are full of black and white spotted paint. So any suggestions as to where we use it. Do we want a striped hull with polka dot super structure or vise versa?

Hi shipmates.
ex Taffy 2 is almost correct, Still in the desert [change from being head first in my rum dessert] Partaking of the odd beverage and thinking of you all. That of course is when I have nothing better to do like bogging the birds.Although most of them here are more decrepert than me. At least they cant run fast with those walkers. Its them with the electric carts that are hard to catch. Oh well, it keeps me active.
Was off the net for a while, and had to change my e address. If you have sent me any mail to my old address i didn't get it.
Have also lost some of your address. Contact me if you like through the site.Not back to old address at home until the end of march.
Nice to be back aboard.Must get more rum extract and back into Tab-Nab production.
Love to Les B Ann.
Den.

Helloooooooooo Den.
Might i make a suggestion, PULL your pants up. As Confucius says," man with pants around ankles not run very fast and everybody knows his intentions".
He also says "a man who oggles the young birds will soon get a headache if the wife catches him." Try wearing the dark sunglasses.

Den mate it could be worse, some of those there Zimmer frames have now been fitted with V8's so watch out. But if you do catch one remember many a good tune played on an old fiddle. That of course brings us back to Vernon who is still fiddling with the still trying to make something, he is begining to sound like Nero, fiddling while the stew burns. Polka dot hull with black and white checked superstructure and yellow and whit striped rigging, queenie would love that colour scheme.

Hello Lads. Well back out of drydock but still have trials to do in Feb. Staff at the BRI hospital done me proud and since Gulliver doesn't like us to give out grisly details sufficent to say now eat smaller meals as have smaller stomach. This should certainly come in handy on this ship as I will be able to get by on the chippings off Den's tabnabs. Got a taste for tomato soup Den and surely you can make that up. Later I might progress to a bit of veg stew. You can have my 32 Bells for now Den as I can't drink it, but we'll not tell the 'Old Man' as he might stop my issue of grog. Will not be skiing this season as by the time I'll be ready the snow will be gone. Now if I win the lottery I can bugger off to Kiwi and Oz and ski down there plus call on that scurvy bunch in Melbourne, Sydney,Newcastle, Bay of Plenty, New Plymouth, Christchurch and all points South.
Going to lie down as talking to you lot as worn me out.

Glad to be back lads and very glad to see your all still aboard. Mike

P.S. Glad we've the NHS never mind what that pratt of a shadow health minister say's

[Dennis McGuckin]

Thanks for the advice Taffy and Daze. Will give it a go.
Welcome back Mike. Hope you are feeling better.
Yes i can knock you up a can of soup anytime. One of my many skills.
Don't put the boards on too soon mate. No rush, next season will come soon.
Surprised i am not missing it as mush as I expected after teaching for twenty years.
Life is good as long as we have the rum b*m & baccy. Well rum anyway.
Not sure I like the new paint for the ship. Colours like that could attract the wrong sort of crew members.
May have to fly the UCL house flag. Vernon would like that though.
Den.

Now Den, I have just seen queenie and she is not happy with your comments about the colour. She says you must not mention it as it could be seen by the P.C. brigade as a bit one sided. Speaking of which I think queenie is a bit one sided, but not to worry. Tomato soup for Mike no problem, Heinz make a very good one but someone stole the tin opener. Queenie also said if you make too much fuss she will bring all her UCL mates on board, then you will see how much Rum, B*m and baccy is about.

[Terry Wilcox]

Hi All. Just had a look at todays menu. CHICKEN SOUP? where am I supposed to get a chicken on this tub? chicken oxo is the only way. BRAISED BEEF ? no beef, ( beef oxo springs to mind ) and queen of puddings, now where am I going to get a ( no I don't think that I will go there ), Who does the food ordering aboard this ship? and once again where is Den? ( last seen having Rum, Bxm and baccy ). Take care .......Terry.
