"Who called the cook a c*** No! who called the C*** a cook."
I must adamit we in Brocklebanks had no copmplaints.
So were better than others.

Have just had the all clear from the hospital. Yes it was a cancerous lump and it's been removed. I can go back to the gym and swimming back to teaching swimming and also go skiing. They will see me in 6 months and have a re C.T. scan in January 2011. Lads I'm on cloud nine. Will now get in the galley and peel those spuds, lash thos carrots and mash the peas, might even try me hand a tabnabs couldn't be worse or should that be better than Den's and Wilkie's. Where are those pair of cooks anyway---- I did say cooks didn't I. Mike

[Dennis McGuckin]

I am still in the desert Mike. No John I do not have desert crabs, least I dont think that is what is causing the itich.
Good news on your health Mike. Have a run for me when you get to ski.
Thinking of staying here and opening a Restraunt in the desert, because of [wait for it]
The sand-which-is here!!!
Think I am getting too much sun.
Den.

Den as long as you do not get too much of the daughter you will be O.K. Blue Unction is what you need for the itch, and no Ron there are cooks, cuckoos and wilful bloody murderers. Mike no more excuses, clean bill of health is fantastic news, no more number 9's for you me lad.

[Geoff Anderson]

Hey Mike GREAT NEWs,
which means you can catch up on all that work you skived off, and all those new recipies you learnt with that cooking site you were on. should be better than that crap theve fed us on before.
Well id better go and clear out my cabin now that it looks like some of the crew are coming back for another trip. Come on girls home you go taffys got to go to work again. OK randy sandy you can stay, but make sure my cabin is spotlessly clean and dunp those empty bottles over the wall. We dont want john in a daze looking out of the bottoms do we.

nice one mike, glad you have passed the medical, now get working on the ship and get someonr to bring me a cuppa.cheers alf

[Michael Lawrence]

Your wish is my command Alf, but what teat ( this should read tea not teat but seeing it's you I'll leave it in) do you want coz on this 'ere vessel we posh. Youse can have brekkie tea (been stewed over night) or you can have Earl Grey's but he don't know some light fingered docker in L'pool has half inched it. You could have Tetley's but we don't have any and the Tykes are too tight to let us have any of their Yorkshire brew so that leaves the Taffy special or B.O.T. coffee( good for killing most things). The Taffy special is where the leaves are collected from the dew soaked mountains after midnight and washed in the pure mountain streams by Welsh virgins( at the moment we 'aving trouble with the last part so perhaps you'll except the washing done by Queenie and Les B Anne). What with Den swanning around the desert and Wilkie lying prostate in his bunk( I got one of those) will try and get your order together ASAP. Mike

Mike mate stop sucking up to that so called wheel man. If he was a wheel man and not just a shadow of his former self he would be obliging for you seeing as you has been on sick leave. Wilkey is prostrate thinking of how to get some black pudding, Queenie offered to help but Wilkey said it was not that type of pudding he was after. But Den will soon be back with some of them dessert crabs he caught, I told him they would go well with a blue unction sauce. No need for any more BOT coffee we ahve found a bottle of CAMP coffee. well queenie has, so maybe we should think about getting the still working again if we want a stiff one!

[George]

I'm pleased to hear you are well again young Mike, but keep away from Johns camp coffee you never know what you might catch ah well I did warn you back to sick leave
