Report to Bradwell berth F24 at 11.00

This is to allow time for a safety briefing (as in 'coffee may be hot when freshly made')

Well I was in F12 last Friday, so F24 is well out of the question.

I am also grateful for the double opportunity of keeping you in pensionable pay.

I read that as 'poor old retard'.
freudian slip?

I would love to come out to play on wednesday, but I too am sadly well entrenched in the work camp.

indeed - been back at work since early December. two months off - not enough. Have to say, a salary does come in handy though.

Brilliant

It does help ease the pain a little, even be able to put up with the old retards rubbing it in about sailing mid week!!

Maybe he is going for a 'tri sail' ;-)

Doesn't he realise it's closed season?

Doesn't it just.
Two years - nine months and 13 days to go.

I do - Fortunately I've got a boat of my own.

Crew for the day will be some of the US Navy's finest.
So, anyone in the Orwell area on Wednesday is advised to keep a wide berth.
Don't want any 'blue on blue' engagements.
Friendly fire isn't.

Yeah but once you retire you find that extra sailing vouchers become very handy.

Is this what passes for friendship in these parts? As a casual observer, what looked like a pleasant invitation has only attracted (admittedly mild) abuse. I wonder why?
