I am still at my witts at how I arrived at this site - please ignore all my entries which were supposed to get a reaction - the Margeaux 69 has satisfied my frustration at not finding the FORUM. NB. George Blu - would love tpo hear from you ! |

Yes JW there are more than a few of us out here - My own contacts number about 40, look at the TWPP to see the quality of our forebears – I would estimate that around 200 regularly view the GUESTBOOK (though they are not members of CLOUDOBS) ! So if you have a message for anyone in your past you can declare it here and our most honourable secretary, she who must be obeyed, will forward. For Ray B – our PO in Singapore was the late Roy Barroclough (relieved in my time by Percy King). Percy and Ginge Howarth had enough offspring’s to field a unisex football team. Yes I remember well our trip to BUGIS St on Roy’s scooter – though I had won a BET earlier re downing about a half bottle of whiskey – I was 17 !. Peter Jones was another in the office – ‘tink he married a Met (female of course). Not Sandie – as I once thought – maybe Green ? not sure that Sandie ever served in Singapore. Ray – apropro your earlier comments re wearing sarie’s etc – once when there was three carriers in dock – there was a ‘Far East Fleet’ “skin” competition down in the dockyard NAAFI club organised by a carrier MET (I ‘tink) (Bryn Telfer ???) - Did’nt you win that competition ???? if so …. does Sandra know !!!! For Ken – in an oblique way in my efforts to get to the FORUM fail me 9 out of ten and which, maybe through my own fault – passwords etc – I came across the Malta pic of you and Sandie hanging out the window at Hal Far – as a native of Dorset her ‘lovely’ tones were a regular visitor to my ears. Wonder if I am right – did Sandie (did you) do the Sunday programme that was called …. Forces favourites --- or something similar . I will try to put the link for the Halfar pic as an addition to this entry. Now that the snow has stopped I can go out and feed the birds – good for you !! failed to get the link to copy - will put it in a following bulletin in the next few minutes. |

Having presented the story about Johnno abusing his car in Malta, it is only fair that I highlight the fact that I didn't exactly treat my new aquisition with a great deal of care either. |

Glad to see us three back on the Guestbook - a good tale from Ken there too - he always could spin a good yarn, especially to the opposite sex. I spent two drafts in HMS Terror; one as a single man, with amongst others, Spud Murphy and Ginge Howarth; and a PO - was it Barrington? I always remember the three of us returning from a run ashore on his motor scooter! |

Hi Ken and Johnny - yes, back from Burma two weeks ago to this crap weather. Glad to see we are communicating once again. I'm off to do some sea-time at the end of the month - well, a narrowboat on the Monmouth canal in Wales. Break out the duty frees! Can't remember if either or both of you smoked blue-liners back in the day........ |
