I saw someone driving of with them and took chase but lost them and when I got back you had sailed. Have one container full of beer and the other has fifty percent of it full of spirits (Rum mainly for Den) and wasted the other fifty percent of the container with food. Thanks for covering for me Alf and I got you a lottery ticket which won so cashed it in and I have your two and half thousand quid being your cut of the deal sorry I meant your winnings. Sorry about the cars but as they say that is the way the cookie crumbles. Please do not log me to much Mike. Les
    hi les ,dont worry about the cars mate . we found them, outside buck palace with the motors running, so we borrowed them to get back to the ship. des is rigging the jumbo, to bring aboard some tarts.so we can also lift the containers,on to no2 hatch. then when empty we might be able to sell them to some yuppies,as state of the art homes .

    Hi Geoff
    I've been asleep mate on the 4to 8. I don't know if I will be able to handle those bloody heavy gin blocks to lead the guy ropes to the winches. I hope the mast hasn't rusted up and can stand the drop when she comes out of the clamp. Might have to use a container crane if there's one handy.
    Cheers Des

    Default Crane

    Being a resourceful Gallant Galley Boy have a crane rigged on the lighter of stores I'm towing. Can't ask the tarts to row as they might get their dough soggy and no sailorman wants a tart with soggy dough. ( Well Welsh sailormen may(will). Am also bringing a flag to fly so which one would you like as I'm finding it hard to locate a 'Red Duster'?
    Den do you need in hash to mix with the flour or shal I just try and find some whacky backy. Don't thing I could handle a Wild Woodbine these days. Vernon seems to be missing along with that Dazy John could be their in the fog locker. Why not remove them both to the crow's nest to keep lookout for the Great White Whale wherever he is. Alf your doing a good job of turning the wheel but we have no need to go in circles. All you lads who want garlic apply now, but no Welshmen aloud(noisy sods when they're grave robbing.

    Hey I've found the Crusader lurking on deck instead of checking and fiddling stores. It seems he's had a dodgy offer of lamb(more likely mutton) from Dazy John who swears its prime Australian. Does lamb have pouches and big ears or is it Noddy's mate he's calling prime cuts.

    Michael.Good idea.
    I have a heafty supply of B.C. Bud on hand. Mixed in the flour may be just what it will take to get this crew moving. Guess we wouldnt notice the differance as far as John is concerend!
