  1. Past hour
  2. When I first started work there were lots of ex servicemen who had fought in WW2. Some had lost a leg, others were missing an arm and a lot had shell shock. Every pub had some poor sod marching up and down the bar believing he was still on parade. I remember asking one guy if he'd killed any germans. He said he hoped not, they were just in the f****n war like him. He said all he remembered was firing his rifle from a trench, with his trousers around his ankles and "skitters flying from my arse" from dysentery. He said you don't feel brave, or anything except fear and misery with uncontro
  3. I don't know mate. Several tourists were drowned in Teneriffe yesterday. Just unusual swell in the waves. I've often thought when I've been there that tourists were taking liberties with tides they know nothing about. Like cops the sea can be a good servant but a cruel master.
  4. You made it step 1 now it’s time for the gravy in the belly button trick and we will all love you !! Y
  5. Sending the stuff home in a balikbayan box for ukay-ukay,the country is currently being battered by typhoons,and wasn’t long ago hit with earthquakes,I think a Filipino seaman was drown off Aberdeen or Ullapool a couple of years ago?
  6. You can Kip in there ya self after a nights lamping once that pups old enough. Put you a few cold pasties in there , you'd fit in well you animal . Get the fishing bed out in there for you
  7. Na mate shame aswell as I had botch bred other way, 5/8th grey 3/8 wheaten an she done everythjn I asked of her, wasn’t the best dog in world but a decent honest notch j could take anywhere an have a bash at anything
  8. You may well be right. I got into a pigeon English chat with some Filipino trawlermen up in Ullapool. They had just about emptied a couple of charity shops up there. One of them insisted I talk to his Mrs on video chat on his phone. A beaming lady with half a dozen nippers greeted me with big smiles, waves and hellos. Quite a nice moment.
  9. No way id spend a day in prison. Have you seen how pretty I am I'd be destroyed within hours worse than one of iww sex dolls
  10. Looks a real wee character allright and extra forum points for being on the sofa
  11. Probably Filipinos Juk,Thais aren’t a known seafaring race whereas Filipinos pay the POEA in Manila to get a visa for UK boats.
  12. Love winding the plumbers up. I will shout look out the plumbers opening his tool box, just call that £40, oh oh the lid of the lunch box has been taken off another£40. Phones ringing that’s another£80 for answering it plus a call out of £40 .
  13. No I mean know the skippers. Scary feckers who have no moral compass and no or little fear. Some Thais actually swam for the shore to escape the conditions on the ship. Their abuse was proven in court, but the skipper got off with a slap on the wrist.
  14. You wouldn't have given them a job in the first place over your own. Throw them and the skipper over
  15. Recharging your batteries with animism,I get it.
  16. I have met a couple of Filipinos working on Brit boats Juk,they have it cushy compared to one young Filipino I heard of working on a Panamanian registered boat,his first trip raped by a shipmate and thrown overboard,horrific. as for the guys you know they can walk away anytime they want,they aren’t true slaves,they paid agency fees in their homelands to get a work permit for the UK.
  17. Sounds like a decent skipper, I’d have f****d them over the side ! lol
  18. I think it’s particularly apt today of all days to mention the millions of young men who gave up their freedom, gave up seeing their families and in many cases, gave up their lives , to volunteer to fight for their countries and came back, not to a “country fit for heroes, but to a country that was indifferent to them. Spending a year or two in a “soft” prison for a white collar crime, and coming out and still having access to your ill gotten gains seems a good deal in comparison…. Cheers.
  19. I came to the conclusion religion is the exercise of ultimate power, which often leads to sexual abuse and the extortion of money. I go with the belief that if there is a power out there, you are best communicatiing with or feeling that that power in the natural world. In the seas , the woods and the mountains. How's that for today's thought for the day? Lol
  20. Dog has that look that says “ I don’t wanna spend my life in a crate “
