Welcome
I'll have all those bottles Madmick. Can use 'em for a new batch of 64 Bells as Den needs me to keep him and Terry in stock in the galley. The production of tabnabs has slowed somewhat in and had new orders from Northumbria to supply a load to repair Hadrian's wall. Have a few tomatoes to bring aboard but no one go asking for a 1bl as I can't cut a tom into a sixteenth. Why we're on food Vernon, my ladies on my polite page at F.R. want to know what Boerworse is. I've said it some kind of sausage am I right as their keen to try your Camp Curry. I've assured them it's nothing to do with bent sailors. Mike
Ok mike the bottles are yours. As for the tabnabs i think the production of said tabnabs could be a bit slow seeing as its dens birthday today, and you know what happens when you put BELLS and DEN together. madmick
Ok lads, I have dropped my windy hammer, pot of red lead and queenies tooth brush . Decided to have a trip down to the galley to find out what was going on. Guess what , they where all spark out on the deck, so I rustled up some black puddings bottle of old peculior and spotted dick or should that be dicks to finish. Tomorrow night its haggis neaps and tatties and I am going to invite jean on board.. Ive heard she is a good cook , and can manage to stay sober ..... By the way , where the hell are we ?
Here's to tall ships Here's to small ships Here's to all the ships on the sea But the best ships are friendships .. Here's to you and me . Mick. R832100

Hi All. Yep were still in Kingston, and were just waiting for the last of the alcarfrolics to come back. Dens one of them. Ho look! here he is now. Hes picked up two mates, he has one one each arm. No there not mates, its two cops returning him to the ship they said he was offering free tabnabs to the guys in shanty town. Well I think we are all here now except for the skipper and les b anne anyone seen them ??? Come to think of it i haven't seen them since we left the UK. Are well never mind , Ive had a look at our orders and our next port of call is VITORIA , BRAZIL. Stand by Engines, single up fore and aft, let got the back springs, LET GO ALL, FULL ahead engines , Alf follow that seagull. taffy one eye
KISS.keep it simple stupid
hi taffy. thats not a seagull its a pelican. see the fishtail hanging out of its beak? scoop? mouth. i would follow an albatross but that means going astern and i wont be able to see to steer ( no wing mirrors) glad were going to Vittoria met a nice girl there.can we stop off at Willhelmstad in Curacao ? i want to see the pretty houses haha. cheers. alf
Backsheesh runs the World people talking about you is none of your business R397928
You've got to watch that Gulliver, because if you shorten his name to Gull it brings in all sorts of connotations like Gannet, Albie and even sh*tehawk to name a few, which leaves me to think we could be in deep do-do. Seeing he's last aboard and with Les B Anne to boot or should that be 'old boot', do we still have a ship? Would he have sold it for a pot of ganja, or worse still would he of had a decent meal in part ex-change for it? Are we now going to be loaded with some narfarious weed, or with the way our luck is, kelp for sale in some quiet backwater. Then again maybe he hasn't sold the ship just Queenie and maybe he's signed on a sober cook who knows how to boil water. Maybe Den and Terry are about to find their ladles taken off them and a chipping hammer as a replacement. I think I better put the kettle on for a nice cuppa tea for our new 'chef' and talk to him about the 4 concrete mixers we're using to produce those worldwide acclaimed 'Tabnabs'. I could also warn him about the strange going ons on the foredeck with the Welsh Taffia and their magic cauldron. Will Alf manage a straight course, will Dazy John stay sober, will Den and Terry know what a chipping hammer is, and will Vernon give me the bloody answer about the boerworse? Stay tuned and keep regular postings. This is your special agent GalleyBoy signing off asap (going out to lunch with a real cook) Mike P.S. Will George still be looking at tight bell bottomed trousers and is Madmick likely to become sane. Keep posted

Ok lads for all those who have for got what a woman looks like, madmicks book store is now open. 50p a book (thats to hire). madmick your frendly librarian and ast/steward.
Well You really are a mutinous lot.Whilst Acting New-Fangled Female Skipper,Ms.Les B.Anne and me have been personally checking out all those long gone Pubs down the Royal Docks(as mentioned in a post),not only have you decided to sail without us,but you actually did a trip to Kingston.Well,I tell you now,the Company will not be liable for any damage,howsoever caused,....Alf,(!) to Hammersmith Bridge.,and Chiswick and Richmond Bridge etc. etc. You,ll find me in full 'steam',as usual ,conning you(again as usual) from the after docking bridge.Can't see where I'm going,but that's never mattered before.... Dismayed to see too many cooks now aboard.I want you all to come aft,as we really are down by the head,or 'the heads' in Queenie's case..Well at least we won't starve with all you lot. Good news for Den,I've received a pigeon telex from Buck House,hereby appointing him 'Tabnab Maker to the Queen'..although it actually said Queens. Les B Anne says in no way is she partial to Spotted Dick.I don't mind really,versatile as ever,you know,especially washed down with a pint of Old Peculiar. Don't mention Black Puddings though.I heard Keith...of Tregenna.....has gained ten stones in the last fortnight,just by talking about them. Hallucinating,too.Reading all the various topics,I see he's been Rapping in the shower with George Michael(is he a crew-member,well he's a 'sailor' of sorts I suppose),and Taffy 1-Eye. Clumsy Wilky's been dropping his windy 'ammer',I see. You know,that's one reason why I would never sail on tankers with you lot. Haven't got a chart for Vittoria,though that's never stopped us before. Just drop another lump of half-chewed pizza on our faithful 1958(corrected to 1971) Esso Roadmap,and there's Brazil(in 3-D!. Well,I know the course is obviously S x W 3/4 S,I think.So Alf,stop following that seagull,because it's actually a homing pigeon(Sigh)...and go for it! Never doubt Gulliver's navigational capabilities! I have Port tattooed on my Left hand(used to be Larboard,but the tattooist did Cardboard,so had it changed),and Starboard on my Right hand......or have I got that mixed up? Anyway,if you need me Call Me..which I know you all do anyway. Vittoria......we can dream! Gulliver

Yesterday being birthday # 73, I decided to celebrate and have a rare glass of rum. Shared ONE drink with Terry, then turned in. Woke up this morning [with a slight head ache] and looked for a livener. Be-gad, the bottle was empty!! Now, I can only deduce that some low life crew member stole my rum. If my bottle is not replenish forthwith[or fifthwith] I will have no alternative than to cease tab-nab production as of now. I know this is harsh and extreme punishment, and the innocent will suffer unjustly. Therefore. If you know who the guilty party is, you should encourage them to replace the missing nectar. And of course it must be of the high quality to which I have become accustemed. None of that Welsh caldron pee. The bottle may be left in a plain brown wrapper in the Galley. That should be safe there as most of the time the galley crew are ashore or passed out. Once again my apologies to the innocent, but this heinous crime must not go unpunished. Signed Sober and NOT loving it. Den.
