Hogmanay
Good news for our friend Maid Marian.
Her favourite boy band the Bay City Rollers are reforming to play live at the Old Fruit Market in Glasgow. They will be featured on the B.B.C Hogmanay celebrations. We may see Marian swirling her kilt.
Happy Hogmanay. Happy New Year to you all.

Should have had that in the Union Castle book of signals to be made on the steam Whistle, Toot Toot whose fruit. Or is that what they said as they came through the door of the Navigators Den in Kapstaad. JS

I was going to make a comment about the old queens dancing around their handbags, but as it the season of goodwill to all men and bedroom stewards decided against it.

Was with a 2nd. Engineer from Sunderland one time who was propositioned in the Navigators Den by a steward from one of the Castle boats who said he was a bathroom steward, didn't know then and still don't know what a bathroom steward was, unless the obvious and looked after the bathrooms only Cheers JS.
