Thanks for sharing Steve. I really enjoyed out chat too. Hopefully we will have a chance to continue the discussion next time around.:up:

Exactly. :rotfl:

@Steve

I am now in possession of my fathers merchant navy discharge book.

Give me a few days to scan the pages and I'll zip them up in a file for you.

He informs me that all vessels with steam engines were prefaced with SS and similarly those that weren't steam were prefaced with MV......pretty much as we suspected.

Thanks, Jim. I wanted to use the USAT and MoWT prefixes for fun, but I was pretty sure they didn't really use them in service.

Would have been a nice change, though.:sunny:

sounds like fun was had by all
i was hoping to put in a suprise visit .. but unfortunatly time nor money was on my side
maybe i will make it to the next one

Sounds like a good time was had by all Sailor Steve. Was in SLC week of the 6th to visit wife's relatives. Went on the tour of FT. Douglas. ( what's left of it)

You should have let me know! We could have had lunch. :sunny: I love meeting people.

That was well written i read every word, looking forward to some more. :up:

I'll have to try and orgainse and Australian Subsim get together one day:hmm:. That will just have to remain a dream at the moment, as there are some family issues that need to be dealt with:cry:

The tail of sailor steve now that should go in the new Almac !

Great narrative Steve!
Well written and told with style!
It's almost like I was there! :p

Setting the record straight
 

actually... nevermind

I do remember, but my minor corrections turned into a long and very boring story. I figured that the least I could do was spare the rest of you from pages of tripe.:D

"Pages of tripe" James? :hmm:

Well....you'd be amonst good company here :lol:

I obviouly include myself in the above statement http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...es/whistle.gif
