  1. Divers doing 6 monthly inspection and prop polish. Removed some metres of fishing net we'd picked up somewhere.
  2. One of the perks of being on leave is I can do stuff when most poor sods are at work. All the old farts tend to be out though but as I now qualify as one of those it's not like I can complain. Of course when I'm away I can do naff all so.....
  3. Harsh but shit happens. You'll be right next time I'm sure.
  4. I must admit I'd not object to a tasteful Italian plate on the Mutley but I'll struggle on with the yellow blob.
  5. What's with this sails rubbish? This is what you need:
  6. Sun is the one thing I'm not short of. A balmy 30 C outside today. A more comfortable 22 inside thanks to air conditioning.
  7. Well done that man! Enjoy the bike, Scottish weather or no.
  8. If I was home I'd never follow a "dry" routine. As it is I'm at sea so it's an involuntary dry January replete with unannounced alcohol tests etc. As to veganuary just piss off.
  9. Could be interested but if its the back end of summer I'm unlikely to be around.
  10. Belated Happy New Year, just goy internet back after days with minimal service. I really hope its a better year than the last one.
  11. I know at least one present I got - 15 yo Dominican Rum. That'll do nicely thank you.
  12. You've not converted me I'm holding out as an elitist beef eater.
  13. Sorry but yorkies are absolutely only to be had with roast beef. Anything else is nothing less than sacrilege. Like ketchup on steak.
  14. Don't know what I got. Might not have got anything. Scrooge speaks.
  15. Could well be. The English is certainly strained.
  16. Merry Christmas to all. It already is here and just like home its pissing down. Just a bit warmer. I'm channelling my inner Scrooge as I detest Christmas away.
  17. I like Japan but its awesomely expensive. Its a place I'd like to see more of.
  18. My condolences for your loss Mississippi Bullfrog. Horrible time of year for it too.
  19. BBQ's verboten. No booze ever and Christmas is just another working day especially as we won't be out in the big blue.
  20. What is this Christmas bonus of which you speak? Some urban legend perhaps? I'm working every day anyway but it looks as if on Christmas I'll be picking my way through the South China Sea, discharging in Malaysia on Boxing Day and probably back loading in Singapore on New Year. About par for the course.
  21. India is swarming with the things and they're considered at the higher end of the spectrum. Some of them look rough as a badger's arse but they do run.
  22. About 19 C I believe.
  23. How are you still alive?
  24. My experience of the NHS is that most of the people on the sharp end are pretty good but the bureaucracy of it and those who administer it have a special place in Hell.
