Virtual Ship

[Doc Vernon]

Listen lads I'm thinking of starting a virtual voyage on a virtual ship, are you willing to join up? She won't be a B.O.T. feeder and will start sail from KGV pool London. So the ropes are off she's in mid stream of the Thames heading outward bound. Seeing I've started this voyage and was 1st aboard, I'm picking my job along with my nose and I'm galley boy. Now lads don't let me make this trip alone please sign on. Seeing we're in no hurry and can pull in anywhere, I'll make Tilbury our first port of call before the pubs close. So lets get started and make sure none of us back tract. May I suggest we go to 'La Continent' and then work down thru the 'Med' and around the world east to west? Mike,,,

Graham,
Beware me lad,the Captains needs may be greater than you anticipate! haha
But a little R&R ashore will certainly calm these beggars down,and then i too can relax a bit,been trying to avoid all the running around lately haah!
No one wants to eat the lovely Brown porridge Wow is me!!:
Think i may have spell in the Fog Locker now,and get me breath back!!
After squeezing out a small hole from the Bilge (haah! fooled ya all had the Vaso hidden used it to graese meself ) OK no comments!! John is hopefully still in a daze so wont pick up on that one haha! As if!
Must say though that the sand in the Vaso really left funny marks all over me body! Or have i caught the dreaded Pox !!

Thats it!
Bye for now

The question is, is Vernon squeezing out of the hole or into it. No wonder hae has a rash, that jar of vaso ran out and was replaced with a jar of metholated vapour jel mixed with deep heat mentholatum rub, he must smell like a very bad cold witha stiff neck now.

What the hell has Vernon been upto now. Did you say he was covered in scratches or bites Taff? I'm getting worried about this lad and think maybe we had better give hinm sick leave and Coedeine Annie to look after him.
She can feel his pulse and check his markings dab a little calomine on the sore parts ( give Vernon a nice shade of pink). Generally she could give him a good old overhaul. We then could get Reg (Kear) to sing him sea shanties. On second thoughts Reg can tell us some more of his poetry and Vernon can get in the galley and help me with the spuds. Des is cooking something special tonight (maybe it's edible)
Worried about our Dazy John as he's welcomed a lady aboard to join in our dreams and as he puts it mamories.
Wheres those Welsh Wizards, out harvesting the cockles to go with their Laver bread?
Has George surfaced yet and someone should relieve Alf off the wheel as I'm getting dizzy going in circles. Does he know his port from his starboard on in his case sherry? The weather here has started to brighten so I've got to vanish to mark up 5 soccer pitches for tomorrow. Working bloody harder now than i ever did at sea and going no where. Take care you 'orrible bunch and remember keep safe. If a boy scout offers to take you across the road tell him you'd prefer a girl guide. Mike[]

Has this ship lost it's way! Is this ship now a ghost ship! Have the crew all jumped ship? If so where, so I can join them. Has Vernon skinned out on a Castle boat, is Dazy John stranded in Victoria. Have the Welsh Wizards emmigrated to that last Druid stonghold called Anglesey? Has Leith seperated from the rest of the U.K.? Has Alf piled the ship on the the St Paul's rocks in the Atlantic? Even he could miss those, has Den scarpered from the galley? Has that Taffy X re-emmigrated back to Fonmon Cresent Ely? If he has he's bloody bonkers. BUT HORROR of Horrors is George still wandering around the Tower Hill looking for those two fine girls of the HMS President honour guard?
If you've all abandoned ship will some bugger tell me the galley boy as I've peeled 1 ton of spuds( sorry must be metric now 1 tonne) Mike

[Doc Vernon]

Well all i know is that i was offered a bit of sick leave,to relieve the Itch haha!and i grabbed it!
So been away for a wee spell,but now back aboard and rearing to go!
But wait!! If its just me and the galley boy and he's sitting there with a Tonne of peeled spuds,what on Earth must we do!
I know lets you and me start a spud war! haha! See who ducks first! OK You go first!
Ouch! that hit me right between the eyes! Ok now its my turn! Hey where did you go! hah!
Yes the Ship is rather abondened isnt it mate!
Ok lets leave the spud war and see if between us we can find the rest of this miserable Crew!
Bet i will find some in the Fog Locker as P--- as coots! haha!
Ok i am off on my search,you take the foward half and i will take Aft!
Hope we come back with some of them!
See ya later matey!
