Rum you say, yes very rum some of those Tab nabs made by his execellntcy from Canada, or so he thinks.
I did hear there has been a run on Rum essence over the last year or so, the only soaking has been by him on the Rum.
Do not be fooled ship mates , I kid you not tis 'baker' does Umbridge for breakfast, me I prefer porridge.

Also Quinns bar and La Feyette bar in tahiti not to mention the oh so friendly Kiwi girls......

Oh boy! those places bring back some great memories. We would be taken up to the La Feyette when Quinns shut, in those little trucks, already well oiled.
I remember the French cops taking us back to the boat after a big punch up in the La Feyette. I'd been on the gangway till midnight, and still dressed for it, when I just walked off to Quinns.
There was a royal navy ship in at the same time, and we were all drinking together, and the cops took me in the same bus as the navy guys, back to there ship. The cops wouldn't listen to my plea's that the white front I was wearing was not a navy uniform.
Getting back to the navy ship, we were all lined up to be logged on by a PO. When I got on deck he looked at me saying "I know you from somewhere, and it ain't offa this boat".
I explained how I'd been mistaken for one of their crew, and he asked me where I was from. When I told him, he said "That's where I know you from, just stand over there, and we'll have a chat when I'm finished here". After a while we went down to their mess and got well hammered on rum, and had a great laugh and chat. I got back to my boat in time for breakfast.
Just one of those little adventures we all had in those days.

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,,,

Sign me up as AB. 2 year articles.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT A NAVAL CUTTER WAS TIGHT KNICKER ELASTIC AND THE BOARD OF TRADE WAS A BENCH IN HYDE PARK.
