Food & Bloods
Vernon. I think you should put it to Brian to sign on as Chief Stwd/Purser and he can order the stores and of course the drink.
I think myself that all the 'Bloods' should be feminine and either, Blonde, Brunette, Redhead, Mousy, straight haired, curly, wavy or bald just so long as their feminine.
By the way Alf the doctor said Viagra not Niagra so don't make any turns to starboard when we do get thru the 'Channel'
By the way the 'ladies' can be from anywhere just choose well. Mike

Is there a shortage of lighthouses now as it would appear they are setting fire to the piers to light the way. Stop off in Dieppe to pick up the grog, and maybe a few frogs legs to go with the tabnabs.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Frogs
refpost#22
The beauty about the frogs is they can hop themselves without us swinging out derricks to lift 'em on. Besides brandy and wine what beer you picking up in France, 1664? Mike

I see no pier
] ref post#23
Listen Geoff, you must keep quiet about the pier some of 'em don't know its gone yet. Are you using your paint brush industriously and making sure you've left no 'holidays'? John reckons along with the frog legs he can get some good smelly French cheese and if he kidnaps a French baker we might get some good fresh bread. Has that bloody Nav., worked out our course yet? In between swanning around with a paint brush chase it up will you? Mick the Galley
