Nerys that brings back so many memories 😂 normally accompanied by an occasional 'sandy bottoms' but only with Port 😂😂

And the cry goes out, accompanied by the appropriate pipe, 'UP SPIRITS'. 'Sippers'? or 'Gulpers'?

Cneers, Nerys

Thank you Nerys and Colin hope managed a quick splice tonight in celebration 😊
I cheated and went for a couple Captian Morgans with his spicy friends as my Pussers Rum seems to have evaporated 😉

Well done sir, the ladder gets shorter the nearer to the top you get. Just gets harder to limb with all the brain and scrambled egg.
Cheers Colin.

Congratulations, neilmc on at last regaining your Warrant. Well deserved after a lot of hard work. I'll do some splicing to keep you company.

Cheers Nerys

Hi jaffy012,
I see you have gained promotion to Leading Seaman.
Congratulations.

Martin555.

Doug, we still have three Tilley Lamps for emergency lighting at home and to hang in the caravan awning when we used to go to vintage rallies. Tilley lamps are quite collectable and one in really good condition will fetch quite a good price. I had a Tilley heater that used to stand in the wheelhouse of 'Nellie' my motor barge years ago.

Cheers, Nerys

Apropos 'Tilly', shouldn't that be Tilley, from John Tilley the inventor (1813)?
I vividly remember as a young whipper-snapper pumping up a Tilley Radiator (1st pic) to avoid freezing to death in the bathroom ❄️🤔 Pump pump .... pump pump 🔥😊
😎

Unfortunately Tilly Lamp put his query to CB90 about some pictures into the wrong thread.
As the thread owner objected the query was deleted, along with CB's answers, causing the 'system' to bust Tilly back to recruit!🤔
What do we learn from this?
Please check which thread you are currently in before you post a Reply or Comment, maybe intended for a different thread😉
Cheers , FLEET//😎

Two more promotions to announce.

Congratulations to :-

Able Seaman astromorg.
Able Seaman Tilly Lamp.

Well done guys.

Martin555.

I graduated in 1979. I like Queen, thought they were great, but for that era, I really dig the Blasters, John “Cougar” Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen..with some Ramones and Stray Cats thrown in. However, most of my pop base comes from before I was born..the Drifters, Platters, Dion and the Belmont’s, Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly...I have a list, it’s quite extensive.😁
Oh..swing music too..and marches and waltzes.
And polka. Good country music too. Also surf music. Old Hymns.
I need to stop this could go on for days.

Great choice in Queen and the move Bohemian Rhapsody I think is well done.
Rick

Yes they are good but my main music choice is Queen, followed by the drifters. This modern stuff just doesn't work for me.
Cheers Colin

Guess you’ll be hanging out with the Knopfler boys😊
