You had better hurry Geoff, just follow the sound of the clink of my glass, I'm in the boiler room curled up snug and warm by the port side boiler, I'm still using a glass so there is still hope!!!!!!!!!!

[Dennis McGuckin]

now lads. i'm fed up with this cruising in the bay, dodging those sardine fishermens cockleshells. we are now going down to the famous straights of gib, turning left (port)and heading for m****ille. going to get some nice truffles and roquefort to go with the port then on to genoa for some spag bol, plus some emmanthal cheese to go with those red onions previously mentioned, and we must have some oysters and mussels for our fish stew. get your skates on cookie and serve it all up on the bridge. cheers. alf

What happened to the old days? All hands were happy with a bowl of Scouse, not this fancy-pansy scoff!!

hi all and Les
well there we are trying to raise your culinary taste buds, providing you with mouth watering delights from around the world. to witch i might add,that some fools would pay a kings ransom for in some posh yuppie restaurant. and all you can say is,dos it come in tins.i prefer it out of a tin'can. so you can go ahead and raid our merger stores. but it will do you no good,vernon bought them on the cheap, as fire salvage. most of the cans are blown,and the ones that arnt, have no labels on them. due to the water damage from the fire hoses
so best of luck, and dont come running to me when you get the screaming AB DABS,or monty zummers revenge. plus we are locking you in the bridge,so that you cant get out.and you can stew in your own juices.
right I'm off to find pemcol in the boiler room, and do some rambling. move over pemcol, wheres that bottle of 4 bells, hic
taffy 1i
PS les's post has gone AWOL. i must have lost the bet vernon.

[Geoff Anderson]

I went AWOL with my last post because I had not engaged the brain before operating my figures on the keyboard. As they say the best way out of a hole is to first stop digging. Still at least Vernon won the bet. Les

hi les.
NO vernon hasnt won the bet. its still on.you didnt get what i thought youd got. haha. try and work that one out!.well at least your out of the hole now , thats always a good sign.

Now I dont want to worry you all but those tins with no label came from Uncle Bens factory, and Uncle Bens make cat and dog food. We must raise our culinery tastes if we are to survive in some of the most exotic places Alf is going to steer us to. Now as it is that time of year maybe we could set sail for Christmas Island, then maybe we could make Easter Island by April and on to the Whitsundays six weeks later. Oh Oh just seen Venon coming along the deck waving a Gideon Bible in his hand..............

Hey, you were happy enough when you used my "bricks" to build your Karzi back home.
Den.

Hey Den. Its nothing against your' bricks'. They're very good 'bricks' impervious to bad weather and soak up the rain nicely without allowing it into the outdoor 'karsi', but I thought the idea was that you could slice them up and put in toaster smother with butter and glorious apricot jam or ginger marmalade. Please keep up the good work as I've got orders from a local builder who sya's he take all you have. He was concerned about the little brown bits in them but I assured him they were just kiln dried weevils and gave the 'brick' its body. Now where did I put my trowel. Mike

[Michael Lawrence]

All I've done is gambol around like a four legged animal saying 'Bah' to everything since consuming them. I'm going back on my 'Niagra'. Mind you it's getting expensive to jet over to Canada all the time. Mike

[QUOTE=Les;9817]That is it now that we have a bloody sky pilot aboard. Please tell me he is not a born again pilot. Just glad he is not in our mess though. Les[/QU

Lets put the sky pilot on the wheel and Vernon helping me skin these goannas ( they are rather lively. What!'
Sorry I've been missing lads but had a order for some of Den's 'bricks' and the local builder was insistant that he have them by the weekend. The money he is paying will make for a good pay off (I'll drop Den 10 shillings) and will help me open a rum factory where I'll produce a brand called 'Eight Bells' which will have twice the flavour and strenght of that old favourite. So don't eat any of the 'bricks' as I will need them for the factory. I was thinking of employing the Welsh Wizards as the mixers as they are bloody good at stirring. Make Dazy John chief taster and Alf oh God where can't he do the least mischief! Vernon can order in the supplies I need and should be capeable of that as there's not too many ingredients and he won't have to take his socks off to count.
So lets be 'aving you off the after deck as thats where the factory will be.( It's close to the galley and Den's 'bricks') We'll use a couple of those cement mixers out of the cargo to start us off. Lets get to it. Mike

Think I need to renegotiate my wages.
I believe chief baker/brick maker is another rating. As I haven't had a sub yet on this trip,for now I will settle for an extra rum issue. Hold on. Come to think on it, I haven't had one of those either.
Jumping ship at the next port. Hope its BA and not the Bluff!!
Den.

[Michael Lawrence]

Listen Cookie. The next port of call is Genova. I can still see those beautiful 'Sheilas' from Via Lucia (dirty street) Oh I can't wait to get there. Den I'll share the proceeds of the rum distillery with you, but you can't share in the brick job coz I went out and got all the contracts for them after finding how great they are. Thinking of flogging them to the Government to help in low cost housing. Now be a good chap and get back in the galley so we can meet our target. I promise that you will have the first bottle of Eight Bells off the production line. Mike
