Well it’s our last night.
A shame.
We’ve had a few tears and renting of clothes, but that was two Italian women fighting over a waiter.
Jobelson fell to his knees in front of me, clutched my trouser leg and held out his other hand.
Once I’d given him a twenty his grief at losing me evaporated instantly and he was off.
I shall miss those teeth. Every home should have a Jobelson.
I went to find a few people on deck seven to say goodbye to and saw yet more tears and renting of clothes. This time, two Italian men fighting over the same waiter.
Famous last words of the Nautical kind
Captain of the Titanic ………….”what the fuck was that?”
Admiral Nelson………………”Take cover be damned. These French snipers couldn’t hit a barn door with a banjo.”
Polar bear to Captain of the Titanic………….”What the **** have you done to my house?”
Admiral Nelson to Hardy………….”Kiss me Hardy”
Hardy to Nelson………………”Kiss my arse, I’m next in line for Admiral.”
Famous last words I don’t want to hear
Our ship’s Captain to the Port Pilot……”So that’s how it’s done! Here, let me have a go”
Wilma from North Carolina…………..”Gee, that sure looks like my husband waiting on the dockside”
This may be the last dispatch from Sailor Boy here, but I shall try to send a few messages, in the same serious tone of course, from Abu Dhabi. I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to seeing them all.
Love to everyone, see ya!
PS I’m flying BA to Abu Dhabi and I’d love to work an upgrade, how do you do it? Any ideas?
PPS Please – no suggesting I sleep with a stewardess, I’m just too tired.
