Virtual Ship

[Michael Lawrence]

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,,,

Hope the wait is not too long!

[Michael Lawrence]

No offence X Taffy but I remember you as lookout on the Titanic. So you can't have binocs you better have a telescope and don't come the Nelson. As for ships names how about 'The Return' lets all give our choice and best one gets pint(schooner) in Ma Gleeson's, Auckland. Mike,

[Michael Lawrence]

Vernon, Look out for 'The Return' but you might see Taffy over the side overpainting it. Mike,

[Michael Lawrence]

Alf. It will have to be a pierhead jump as no one has worked out how to stop the ruddy thing yet. We need greasers and fast. Mike

[Jack Jenkins]

I would like to be the ships cat,so as I can rub up against Wcrusader,s
leg as he is serving the sardine tabnabs...Purrrrr Purrrr.

Now then Taffy the eye, no relation to that well known Castle skipper Swivel eye Lloyd. He could see more out of that than any of us with two.
