    Hi Arthur,
    I had an old friend on Islay, Portnahaven I think. Neil McNeil, he was a Bosun on ESSO.
    I think he is dead now for a few years.
    Did you ever come across him,?
    His wife was Wendy from Hampshire.
    Cheers
    Brian

    Marian, Did you know there was an Arthur aboard every ship that ever sailed, If you hit your finger with a chipping hammer/ Or had no money in the ship to obtain a sub for a run ashore/ Or after 4 hours on the wing of the bridge on lookout your relief let you down/ Or your ship was stuck on the hook awaiting a berth................................The spoken word was usually Arfer (*&*^&%$

    Hi Terry.
    Or as I was once up the mast on a bosun's chair busting for a pee and looking down seeing the rope tied off on the winch and no sign of your mate.
    Cheers Des
