How Chris Okeefe left the "outfit as a warrant officer and not a petty officer is beyond me.Look up "shaky"in your Funk & Wagnall and you'll find a picture of him;twenty years of undetected crime.

Peter!!!
You did not take the pink pill at the 4 o'clock muster when nursey dolls out the medication. That was very naughty of you and it is showing.

Now Pussasan will look after the nice police people (note the PC wording) as he has some experience in this.

...and Chrissey will be too fragile (with his light duties chitty) to lead from the front. So we will have to take a vote on who will be the leader. (that should take at least 6 beers at Jacksons to work that one out)

But don't fret now, we'll look after you. (he,he,he)

CJ.....where are you staying?......I'll arrange some champagne for you on arrrival.
6 beers at Jacksons and I WILL need a Pink Pill!!!!...........and a nursey!!!

Bob, I'm really sorry that I hit you with a squash racquet, but you were winning all the games, weren't you? And you DID drive a Volvo......

Gordon, just you watch out or I'm going to use my walking stick to rearrange your balance weights! and don't you worry about that!

Peter, I haven't drunk champagne since the Hobart was in Melbourne for The Cup in 1978. A memorable occasion that brought home to me the folly of drinking the stuff by the schoonerfull.

And there's no way I'm telling you where I'm staying!

I'll be at the basin trials all going well, but the kellick steward will still be heading down the coast and not getting in to GI until Saturday morning ETA unknown at this stage. Waiting on a reply to an email to see if she wants to go to the BBQ and sail. Time is of no consequence to me any more, my last working day was last Friday so I should be able to muster Sunday. I'll let you know as soon as possible Rick.
