The Pansy Story............

[T.C.]

Mark, Ell & Marc.......

Just a thought................You've all posted snippets of the journey - have you thought about pooling your resources and writing the definitive story of Pansy? :yltype::yltype::yltype: - from the early stuff which Mark has posted, to your epic in bringing her to the Tyne.

I'm sure Jim / Elton could create an area on NESA where it could be held for all to read..........................or is there already a book in the pipeline

 

[mark]

there is a blog somewhere, but not a huge amount on it yet...

once the counseling and therapy is complete, there'll be at least 3 definitive versions from each view point maybe!

The story about me struggling with the straps on a life jacket, giving up and putting the "good 'un" on, then passing the rubiks cube version to Mark while he was steering us through that massive sea - will not appear in any version. I honestly feel quite ashamed about that

But then again I'm quite proud of my impeccable survival instincts -

"You are about to die - put down the knitting and put on that life jacket"

S'alright... I nearly told you to pull that little plastic thing on one side to adjust the size... you probably would of as well in the nervy state we were all in denial of, apart from those suffering from sea phlegm, who had the worst dilemma of all.... crawl off the floor an try stand up to get to the fags, and therefore witness what was out there, or stay moribund but nicotine free!

mostly said party achieved the former, but returned to the second position at the immediately afterwards whilst uttering profanities !

Aye Marc wins "Smoker of the Year" - honest if there's an award! Anyone got WD&HO Will's e-mail? Mind he always grabbed one for me as well. He also discovered a new survival technique - put your hands over your eyes and everything goes away, you also become invisible as well.

The strange tale of "Crispin"

At the hight of the Rattray experience Mark was talking to the harbour master on the video requesting permission and advice on coming in before we all drunned, the HM was also communicating with a Huge ship and the local pilot - when beaming across the airwaves came the a comedy posh voice

"This is Crispin - WE NEED THE KEYS TO THE TOILET BLOCK COULD SOMEONE POP DOWN WITH THEM"

"Stand by Crispin"

Lots of life and death stuff continues to occur

"This is Crispin - COULD YOU CHAPS TELL US WERE TO GET KEYS TO THE SHOWERS"

We moored next to "Crispin" and wished it was on top instead - we discussed many kinds of revenge from throwing stones at them to eating their sails. Marc you should have bashed them up mate

 

[mark]

for comedy posh voice think what paul whitehouse doing an impression of noel coward would sound like an it'll be bang on the money

 

[Marc]

Very, very drunk now, have to be but agree wih all that has been said, even the seaphlem, still should have done them though, Crispin that is.

Never buying their chips ever again.

Going to sell everything to do with the sea and buy a helmet..... who wants to go halves on a go-cart.

Tee shirts have been designed and are ready for print though..... watch this space.

Fooking loved it though, now am on dry land.
