One question.

Did you ever go right outside the gate and eat "Heavenly Hash?"

I have no idea.

I can't remember what I did yesterday, and you expect me to remember something from 32 years ago???

I live on a naval base, Im going to check out a thread that say's 'i like ships'

Baw bag

I lived on a naval base, in an official residence, when the Royal Navy still had a Battleship.

I worked in HM Dockyards when we still had cruisers.

I've been spoilt for cruises. I travelled First Class from the UK to Australia in 1960 on the flagship of the Royal Rotterdam Lloyd Willem Ruys. The experience was unrepeatable e.g.

1. the excursion from the port of Naples was to Pompeii. The Willem Ruys First Class passengers had Pompeii and the guides to themselves, hours before it was open to the public. Only sixty people in Pompeii, and the small groups never saw each other as we toured the site.

2. In Sri Lanka we visited several historic sites not open to the public. In one Buddhist temple we were taken into area that even Buddhist pilgrims couldn't see.

The power of hard currency in 1960 was awesome.

The standard of cuisine in the 1st Class Dining Room was the best that Europe could offer at the time, with one drawback. The menus, most of which I still have, were in Dutch and the Dutch version of Restaurant French. It took us a week to work out whether we had to order the meat, and then the vegetables, or whether the listed dish came with the vegetables and our vegetable order was brought as a side dish.

If you felt hungry, breakfast could be fourteen courses.

I've been on many cruises.

We had Beef Stroke Me Off, Shit on a Shingle, Beef Tits and Noodles, and all the Bug Juice you could drink.

We had a dead Master Chief in our fridge for a couple of months. Right next to the tube of bologna.

You can't fool us. There aren't any surviving witnesses.

It was a borrowed skiff.

After the men were rescued, the skiff was seen floating out to sea.

And you can't forget mystery meat and roast beast.

Roasted beast is good. I think it's the meat from a Nauga that remains when you take the hide.
