Ah, but you made a much better career choice, owning and operating a very successful English pub in France! 
Re my drawing, Dr Welli was not too impressed by my heavy lift arrangement.
And looking at it in retrospect now, I think that my vessel should have had more freeboard forward - I think that foredeck would get rather wet. Although I think we had to do a full works set of calculations at the time including for freeboard and loadline, so I guess she must have passed in that respect - Dr Welli didn't comment on it.
I remember the saga about that snooker room - although the table(s) would need to have square balls unless there is a very efficient set of stablisers on the ship.
Sadly, Mr Cooper crossed the bar last month - here is a nice tribute to him.
