Just an update on my lad seeing as how you were kind enough to take an interest in his career earlier....

He is currently on a 747 flying Heathrow to Miami to join his vessel the Zuiderdam tomorrow.

So it seems to be a hard work, you were kicked by a sheep?

Yes but just the once, I kept a safe distance after that.

He was round our house last night and he reckons he will sort out a fortnights cruise for his mother and I but we're not going to hold our breath

Two years ago we were supposed to be going to Alaska but that never materialised either

[Betonov]

Wait untill he becomes captain. It's risky to ''arange'' such cruises, even for ones parents when you're not alpha

His recent promotion brought him a very substantial payrise, a $250 per month onboard drinks allowance and most imortantly a forty five days per year family onboard entitlement...so I reckon the bugga can start considering his family a little more

[Gerald]

^Maybe he's planning a long trip for you a little later,

[Jimbuna]

James doesn't plan...he plots.

OK! I was referring to the trip to you,

[Jimbuna]

Yeah I know and appreciate that

Tell him you'll book it with his inheritance! That should get him moving.

His latest remark this time home was "If my ship is in the Caribbean I didn't think mam and you would want to pay for two return flights".

My response was "For a free fortnight, all-inclusive (apart from alcohol) of course we'd pay for our flights. It's funny you never considered finances when you scrounged a substantial interest free loan of us last year"!!

Love him to bits but everything has to be on his terms, which is probably why he's advancing so rapidly in life
