Ferry Crossing

[smokie]

Hello sailor

[Brian(Liverpool boys)]

Here's a proper ship.
I did 5 months on this baby in 1985.

That's spooky it looks like the one that went down with total loss of life, named, The Derbyshire. What company was this one owned by,on closer inspection she look's like a tanker not a bulk carrier, Ex MN, also.

So has Ferry been cut in half and had a new bit welded in ?

This could be worrying, as you are always told to be careful about cars that had been cut and joined together again - cut and shunt jobs I think there called.

BUT A FERRY - THATS BIG.........

[nopanic - neil]

But thinking about it, don’t they do this with some cars to make stretched limos?

That’s a thought a stretched limo ferry…………… …

The I. D. Sinclair - Canadian Pacific (or CP Ships) - a 250,000 tonne VLCC or very large crude carrier - with a 35,000 hp engine

Golden rivet? Is that the one that fits in the brass eye?

This is more like it!
In one 'recent posts' page we have:

Golden rivets
sequinned merkins
crude carriers
and a sound underneath...

Nordic, I just can't believe there are so many sad, inadequate bast ards who would post such inane drivel on a single issue forum....  

Erm.... oh....  I think I got it wrong again Dad.

[Nordic]

Your so right Mr Zarse, there are a many more interesting things that fourms should be used for, like
erh............Commer vans, Guided buses, T-shirts, camping tips, WIFFY things on computers,20 year old photos, and trailers.

These people need a dam good smacking, I shall join the p&o fourm saturday and tell them.

My may also get a few tips re European driving and a discount on my next Aurn jumper.

I was told of this site a while ago by an old mate who works at P&O , my shock horror when i see his name on the user board , and he's a spotter..

"My favourite ship.......... Prode of Humpshire, when i worked .... blah blah blah.. "

Next time i see him......

advice will be via Brians Black n Decker.

Makes for a long day but you get a chance to wander around St Peterport on the way out & have a mealin St Helier on the way back and not too much driving either side (Starting in Devon)
