List!
Hi,
Well the list looks good so far,but wait! no mention of the Captain?
See i wanted to tell the Cpt to have a word with Les the wheelman,as everytime i get all the Tables setup and ship shape,off he goes again on a course all of his own,and its playing Havoc with the passengers,not to mention the Bleedin Crockery and Cutlery all over the damn place!
Does he perhaps need a new set of Specs! haha!
And please try and keep that ships Cat out of the Dining Room,Grrrr!!
Now there is another problem,John the Bar Stwd has gone missing,and all the Bloods are screaming for a bit of Grog! Bar is all locked up!
Ahoy John where are you! Needed urgently!! haha
Whats going on,i really dont know who or what i am now!! Age is creeping up fast!
Cheers
Vernon The Piles are still making my eyes water!! Help!!!

Seeing as you are the chief and the most senior on board this problem rests with you. I know that you had problems with piles before joining but that is behind you now. What with the cook sitting in the galley refusing to provide food and the galley boy watching him with a menacing look in his eye. It looks like we will have one memorial trip ahead of ourselves. I think my capabilities on the wheel will keep everyone on their toes in the dinning room because seeing as I have already eaten then I know what is coming up and it feels purrfect. Les
hi les,the reason i called yuo and alf, wheelsmen, is because mike has brought 2 jags onboard.i thought you would enjoy being a chauffeur as well. you never know, maybe some tips or better in it for you and alf. so i'll amend your articals as .quartermaster/chauffeur.if you agree that is.?also i think jags are abit better than holdens. what say you taffy 1i
