Virtual Ship

[Dennis McGuckin]

I don't find that even a little bit funny Chris!
Wait until the day when I am serving some delectable tab nab creation, and you don't get any.
You wont be laughing then will you?
Den.
PS.If that gannet had eaten my tab nab it's head would not be above water. So there!!

[Chris Allman]

Sorry Den

[Michael Lawrence]

Chris. Your only sorry if you eat one, sorry I meant try to eat one. They'll crack any dentists fillings

[Les Woodard]

I have to come out in support of Den's tab nabs. If you do manage to get one down you then they certainly clear out the tubes but be carful later on that you do not break the toilet bowl when passing them. I am with you Mike about where to sign on and who is the owners of this tub.

[Dennis McGuckin]

Thanks Les,
To me that is a complement.[don't get many on this ear barge]
Nice to know that there is a gentleman aboard who appreciates culinary delicacies.
Most of the wharf rats who signed on were brought up on jam and bread. No class!
[sigh] My talent is wasted.Should be on one of those Italian cruise ships. Then again my tab nabs may get the blame if she developed a list!
Better stay where I am.
Den.
When is the rum issue?

After reading the posts i am handing in my 48 hour notice before she goes deep sea.

[Les Woodard]

Stay with her Red as doing a trip on this one will eradicate all those rotten trips we done before. Nothing could be worse than this feeder. At least we have a baker who owns up to being signed on as one. As for Vernon he has gone walkabout in the mountains chasing up bush tucker to save a few bob in case he has to move to higher ground now he has cornerned the eucalyptus oil market. Kangaroo will be evident in the qualdron that is for sure.

Hey Red lead I agree with Les. \when you sign on this 'ere wreck your'll be glad you sailed on decent stuff once. Anyway if I remember rightly you skinned out before just before Gulliver was going to have you logged er it could of been flogged knowing his preferences.
John in a Daze asked if we could get Brian as 'Kipper (where's that bloody S gone to). I don't mind but think about how he got the name Kong 'coz looking at his photo he hasn't any claim to good looks and he might have a disposition whatever that is to go with it.
I think we better keep Gulliver as the navigator as his store of old AA maps and books might come in useful and he does have a way with Les B Anne. How about Alf for first trick on the wheel and why we are travelling in a circle Kong and Gulliver could punch the thingiemerbob to get our course made out. Better make sure that the DOC don't try to feed us euqualyptus oil instead of virgin olive (and it was along time a go that Olive was a virgin. Must make sure we've plenty of sugar, salt, rice, flour and other staple foods for Den to practice on as he's the only bloke I no where practice doesn't make perfect. Anyway tbhe W.R. is calling me for one last decent scranbag before I steps aboard the good ship 'Virtuality' whereever she may be/

Guys
Before we all set sail on this voyage, there are a number of things to remember
Firstly
BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the AIS and VDR has been purloined and fitted so watch your language, even if the tab nabs are a bit off.
No 5 hatch smokos will be strictly timed as working hours regs MUST be complied with and hours of duty/rest forms to be filled in daily for all staff, so no overtime.
Feeding rates will be set by the shore catering superintendent who learnt his trade as a fry fry boy in KFC, where they deliver daily
so
who ever is navigating better make sure of landfall every sunset.
The amount of paperwork that is required will be sufficeint to ensure that she is always in heavy weather ballast condition so at least smooth sailing should be guaranteed, not that much sightseeing will be done as remember that from getting out of your bunk in the morning until getting back into at night a risk assesment for every task, including eating tab nabs, will required to be filled out in duplicate, discussed at the daily safety meeting, granted approval from head office, a tool box meting held before starting each task, then follow up and feed back to all.
So hey ho and off we go...ooops forgot to fill in the risk assesment for going up to the bridge to start unmooring, slight delay will ensue whilst I carry out the necessary paperwork.

Sounds like a trip on the good ship 'Bounty' could be more fun!!
