Ahoy There
Now hear this. Vernon has changed the name to Mirage so keep your eyes open for a ship running loose in the Thames with a little airy backsided Welshman runnning around with a paint brush. He will more than likely be on the aptly named POOP deck. Somebody told me that a bloke has sneaked on at Millenium pier Westminster. Told that Taffy Geoff that he had experience as a 1st class winger and has a degree in garbled English. Believe his first name is John but if he tries to sell you a couple of cars throw 'im over the side.
I'm going back to lie down in the fog locker if I can find it and Dazed John hasn't shifted it.
