    Default Montreal

    A thought came to me a while back regarding trips up the Lakes. I remember being in Montreal and in the mess for smoko one day. This guy comes aboard, comes into the mess and offers to let anyone tie him up in a chair, on the premise that he would wriggle his way out of it. I stood there bemused at this and obviously a bit green behind the ears. I asked another crew member why someone would come aboard a ship just to get tied up. The look I got in response said it all, the guy got off on being manhandled by the guys. Anyone else remember this guy in or around Montreal in the mid '60's?

    There was a guy in Montreal in the late 50s,
    Mervyn, or `Merv the perv`. used to hang out in the House of Scouse, the Liverpool House.
    opposite the berth where the Empress liners tied up.
    He did a few `crazy things`

    Default The pervert of the lakes

    Hi shipmates, Hi duke Drennan He was on other ships if hes the same one? I was on The bridgepool one of Ropeners 1968 I remember some of the lads done a job on him in the drying room opened a steam pipe after hanging up on the drying rails and gave him a good beating, then they came back with the spray FLITT and more of the same treatment !!! I was told he was there for a couple of hours in pain after that. They were rewarded with $ 20.00 each {theres more to this } but not for mixed company

    I remember Merv always sat in Ma Greeks, a great big flash car outside,I think he must've been about 25 stone.I never seen anybody talk to him,he just sat there drinking coffee and looking at people.I wasn't there this night but I believe a few guys run in to Ma Greeks and kicked hell out him for some reason,he was squeeling like a pig on the floor.
    Regards.

    That is right Jim
    A big fat slob but loaded, a big Cadilac style car. I got his card off him it said he was a Show Biz Agent,
    A girl I was courting at the time fancied herself as a Club singer, she was awful . but I couldnt tell her. Then she kicked me into touch so as a parting gesture I gave her Mervins card and told her to contact him and he would get her into the big time.
    I never saw the girl again so dont know what happened.
    I believe, tho` I DO NOT KNOW THIS, ONLY HEARD, that he would sit on a door step and pay seamen to urinate over him.
    We always ended up in Ma the Greeks for our supper after the House of Scouse.
    Cheers

    I remember my first ever run ashore in Montreal in 1965, I was walking up the street and asked somebody the way to St Catherine street, he replied f--k off English bastard. Lol, my first introduction to our great world.

    Hi Frank.
    Same thing happened to me and my mate, first time in Montreal asked this bloke [French] the way into the main part of town, he pointed, we went that way; 20 minutes later we were re directed to the way we were going in the first place.
    Cheers Des
