Ha, Bosun, not that much sunshine yesterday (tho I think Tulip beached it) and the rain returned last night I iz no lobster, but still a little colour in my cheeks from three beautiful days a week or so ago where the sunshine was with us (such a rare occurence in the SW - sadly, tho it's not chilly so no complaints and the river has spared us thus far)

The nipper and Beth are getting married next month.
So "At Last" went very well with that. What a voice that young man has.
We can adopt him as lookout and foghorn on the ship.
Such lovely news for your family POMcT Wishing them well a blessed future and hoping all the plans are going well. You will all have a wonderful day, for sure. Congratulations to the Nipper and Beth!
At Last... yes indeed, and a mighty fine set of lungs that wee chap has - I'd listen to him sing any day... mahhhhhhhhvellous!
I just couldn’t believe it, I was so excited to hear the good news that reached me out here in the boonies, Ima sure y’all are thrilled at this unexpected turn of events; to celebrate my girlfriend and I watched three chick flick DVDs back to back. Luckily she was the one facing the TV, whilst I was able to read ‘Ontwaken en de strijd’ by L.J. Smith.
As y’all may know I was raised as an only child, which really annoyed my sister; but I'm good friends with 25 letters of the alphabet… I don't know Y, but you know you're a hillbilly when your TV is bigger than your book case and I saw a documentary on PBS on how ships are kept together, I can tell you it was riveting!
Did you see those Olympics? I’m so pessimistic that if there was an Olympics for pessimism… I wouldn't fancy my chances. But I did take part in the sun tanning Olympics - I just got Bronze.
Talking of bronze and beautiful; after checking my diary I find I’m a little late in wishing the delightful Mismi a happy wedding anniversary; I will decline to sum the years but if we were in Rome it would look something like: MLXVI – MLIV. May the Lord enlighten and guide your path over the next decade, or failing that checkout Henry Wellge's birdseye map of Birmingham, Alabama.
So, how’z thangs goin’ wid you and what’s his face then? You know the Old Testament saying: ‘all things come to he who waits.’ I’m not a million miles from anywhere, but I’ma million miles from getting there. (((Miss)))
Tulip, many congratulations on your daughters exam results, I’m sure you are very proud of her.
FS, I get the impression you are something of a mystic, in tune with nature and the rhythms of the seasons; may with you the force be.
MacT; hearty congratulations on the forthcoming nuptials of your son.
My dear Dutchy, I’m so glad you postponed your meeting with Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn and you remain the most senior member of the ship’s crew. Never underestimate the pleasure you give to others.
Which brings me back even though she's taken the "T" out of her GTL routine, mama-to-be Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi has an extra-special glow about her these days; "Everyone will be surprised to see a different side of me. I'm loving, caring, sensitive, protective and very maternal, no matter what people might think."
I think that’s what Lizzie Borden also said!
Which reminds me; I’m madly enthralled at the return of the Captain and the serendipity that perspicacity and sagacity will once again maintain equilibrium as we divest ourselves of surplus apparel and continue our discussions in the kitchen...
Blessed are the A2K throng.
Sorry, that should read, ‘Bleached is the A2K thong’.
Now, before y’all blame me….. It was only in the 1828 edition of Noah Webster’s dictionary of the English language did he drop the final ‘u’ in such words as color, flavor and humor, and don’t get me started on the dropping the last ‘h’ in place names; those poor people of Pittsburg!
Arrrrh…
As I was a-walkin’ down Paradise Street,
Way, hey, blow the man down…
A pretty young damsel I chanced for to meet
She was round in the corner and bluff in the bow
So I took in all sail and cried “Way enough now”…
I threw out my hawser and took her in tow
And yardarm to yardarm away did we go
She said to me “Try, will you stand for the treat?”
“Delighted,” says I, “for a charmer so sweet”
It was up in her quarters she piped me aboard
And there on her bed I cut loose with my sword
But just as my cutter was forging ahead
She shouted “The Bosun!” and jumped out of bed…
He was seven feet tall, had a chest like a horse
And right for my jawbone he plotted his course
He loosened my rigging; he kicked me in the stays
I flew down the stairs like a ship on tidal waves
I chanced on a packet that happened on by
And when I awoke I was bound for Shanghai
So I’ll give you fair warning before I belay…
Always take heed of what pretty girls say.
Hi there Tryagain, it is a pleasure to wake up and see you've honoured us with another visit. As usual your literary skills stand out like a beacon in the Sahara Desert, incredibly funny but also very educational. Your poetry also speaks of a Hillbilly of great wisdom and worldly experience but isn't time you settled down with a pretty senorita?
One last thing, congratulations on getting bronze at the Olympics, I got blisters. Ciao my friend.

@Tryagain,
Try, you naughty chap, you lifted all these jokes off the BBC website.
Plaigiarism without acknowledgement on this vessel means that you have to walk the plank.
I can confirm Mr B, did have a drink but he doesn't look like his photo 
I iz no lobster, but still a little colour in my cheeks from three beautiful days a week or so ago where the sunshine was with us (such a rare occurence in the SW - sadly, tho it's not chilly so no complaints and the river has spared us thus far)
