    Another thing they used to hang over the side Des was dead camels. I used to think maybe they did that to stop pollution of their inner waterways, but on thinking back it may have been their dinner after it had been stretched. They must never have gone hungry because there were always plenty hanging off various ships. JS

    Wot Wot ? You leave my Roots alone JS-what goes on between me and my Grecian 2000 bottle is my business.

    Well John,amongst other things,a Chad is the little punched hole paper circular remnant shape thing when you use a paper punch (well,you try describing it ! ) or a Chad is... ", ,a usually disparaging internet slang term used for a popular, confident, sexually active young white male!" - so,that rules me and I suspect most of us out then!

    I thought Chad was a place in Africa , but there you go. Just shows what an education can do for one .Also that roots were those things one squared like the square root of 1 is 1 . But there again the cube root of 1 Is me, myself , and 1 . A root to different people means different things now to Cappy it probably means private sexual things better not discussed on here, and to a pig it probably means a hunt for turnips. Do you buy your Grecian 2000 in Roots the chemist ?

    You are correct there John, Chad is indeed in Africa.

    The people are Chadians but am not aware as to the length of their nose or if there is a suitable wall for it to hang over.
    But if l
    Lewis gets his spy glass out he may be able on a clear day to see that far and find out.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Most of the ships I sailed on had a crew of 65, they were Castle, Port line P&O and CP ships, bit less on BP and Shell.
