Welcome
Hi! I really wanted to reply to Mike Lawrence and his mention of Virtual ship,but guess I've lost the thread(again!)..Anyway,Mike I really don't think I could join because I'm really quite shy and retiring-and a real stick-in-the mud(well thats what they said at the Enquiry after I'd gone Hard a Cardboard mid-Channel.I swear that damn nuisance Goodwins Light Vessel was heading straight for me!) But......I need the money(Did I hear sniggers of "He wants paying as well?" )As for 1 bottle of 8 Bells per day..Don't you mean 1 bottle per Watch? The missus has borrowed my Ticket again-I believe sh'es joined an all-girls crewed ship bound for ...is it Lesbos?.I Forget the ship,s name but think they all end in--------dyke or something.Know the company? Packing is going very well.Corrected my Esso roadmap ( 1958 edn.)up to April 1st 1966,then finished it off in the Firkin and Faggott over a pint last night..A few more wrecks and dangers have appeared on it-think they might be beer stains and peanuts.Tried to wash it off-too late to get a replacement now though. Discharge Book is OK,got 5 DR's and a VG-although that last one looks like the G has been changed to a D.(spiteful old skipper-how was I to know he was using my inflatable doll?) Bad news about my portable 'steam radar',though.Rang Marconi Marine and a snooty-sounding receptionist said Oh,we don't do those However British Gas are sending a man to give it a good servicing(they're very good at that.So all is not lost-or perhaps we will be! Other items I've packed are; a brand-spanking(steady!-new pair of brothel-creepers and a 2 years supply of those little blue tablets-oh! what are they called....yes---Niagaras!-as I've been a bit down lately. The packing is more exciting than the actual voyage-which has always been the case! Going now.Suddenly reminded me of 'Dolores',my steward. 'She' came to me 1 day in a terrible state: D (tossing hair) Ooh! I hate that boottopping-and the Mate! Me(puzzled) Ye-e-e-es?? D(very hysterical) Yes.I've just heard the Mate telling my lovely Deck Boys to go and touch-up the boottopping! I digress('tis a terrible affliction) Davey

Anyway Gulliver welcome aboard, I'm afraid we havn't a stwd for you so you'll have to make your own bunk. Oh and get your meal from the galley, oh and wash up. Oh Yes! and help us finish building the disterlery on the after deck. Just don't eat the bricks. Mike
Well Mike,what a suspicious old walrus you are! No,I will not definitely notbe your Captain now. I'd rather sign on as Crew-and have a much easier life!!(But as I said money is tight now and U.K. is in recession-but (ahem!) the distillery peggy(whatever) job sounds just the job. Don't want you to get paranoid,Miikie but we know that you don't know that you're not who you think I am... Dash! My bottle of 8 Bells just emptied itself into my schooner,Ruddy Rolling! Just for You,Mikie- Davey
HI ALL. WELL LADS AND BLOW UP DOLLS.Its about time we named this tub, sorry ship.????? How about we stick our thinking caps on ,and come up with a name for her!!!!. i know some names were bandied about in the begining. BUT as none seems to have stuck. Lets have another GO.some of us are not very good at thinking i know, but give it a GO. the winner of the best name gets CRATE of his favoroute grog,and a night ashore with his favorite pin up.( vasoline supplied by vernon, sand free.) Yes Mike i know you dont like covering up your head.and we know you think your bald plate is a solar panel for a sex machine. but i promise your battery wont run flat. But we might get raided by seagulls when your dome stops flashing in the sunlight, scaring them off. but we will cope. taffy 1eye.

Lets call it 'Eight Bells' and be done with it. Or 'World Link' Or 'Old Farts'. Or 'If Only'. Or Taffies Brew'. Or 'Rejuvination'. Or Brians Relaunch'. Or Vernons 'Lady Love'. Or John's 'Dazy' Or Gulliver's 'Esso Map'. Or Alf's 'I see no ship'. But me I prefer George's 'Bosun's Mate in Tight Bell Bottoms' . ( Very fetching she looked to. She was the blonde in the Guard of Honour at Tower Hill. Yeah that suits me!!!!! Mike P.S. I forgot Den's 'Bricks'

All this chat about, food, drink, ship name, etc, is getting me worried, because while we are aimless at present we are still burning fuel, I have just sounded the bunkers and though it's not an immediate problem it soon will be if you don't get your act together, by the way am I the only silly so and so doing any work on this ship?

We are risking our lives with Alf on the wheel as it is. SS Viagra might be a good one. Would keep us upright if nothing else. Den.
