Aha, after my game today, the Spanish port must have come from one of our prize ships!

My Booze for today is:-

Let's set sail in a Schooner today.
...and today
Morten

Very good Danish reply to David's post, Morten!
Afraid I can't match your Schooner Dave, but I have found the perfect partner for the Port.
Rob.
Thanks Jonas, but I could definitely use some Scandinavian help against the two English SOL's...Originally Posted by TexaS

It was Morten who was asking for help against we two Dave, so I thought I would send him some, as the story line that you started with your hands manning the capstan evolved.Thanks Jonas, but I could definitely use some Scandinavian help against the two English SOL's...
The Spanish were the best offer I could find.
Do you think we squandered our Broadsides weeks ago instead of reserving them for this?
Rob.
Oat malt stout...that is interesting. never taste it before i think, but it is sound like an old sailor ballad
...speaking of Port. This port i serve for communion in my church, but that should i get changed out quickly now:
NOW back to the real sea of beer. Mine for to day:
Caribbean Rumstout...
...put him in the brig until he's sober...
Man the capstan!
Another good one Dave.
I riposte with.
Rob.
Or for those with a more freebooting spirit.
Thanks for the goodwill chaps.
my pick of the day is.
Rob.
It was not a competition as such Dave, until you manned the Capstan, so I riposted with anchors aweigh and it went down hill from there. We now seem to be engaged in a sea battle.Man the capstan!
Rob.
WAUW...You two are hard to play with. I will try trumph you both with this:
Morten
...put him in the brig until he's sober...
In that case Morten I call you out with:-
....... wait for it.
..........wait for it.
A yellow card!
Rob.
The sequence should have gone.
Rob.
Arrrg...that is what i called:
I have more up its sleeve:
...but have to change color:
(I will re-evaluate the rules)
Morten
...put him in the brig until he's sober...
But it's you Danish that's the best beer makers here in Scandinavia. If you can't keep them at bay I'm afraid to say, but all's lost.
It's High Tide.
Dave I think our Scandinavian shipmates need a little help from the.............
Rob.
Scandinavian, Rob? Don't you mean Spanish?
There is still Fireship:
I did not know that this was a competition.

Aaauuuvv...every man is leaving the sinking ship...

And While you are busy reloading...TAKE COVER:

Morten
...put him in the brig until he's sober...
I'll float this as a possibility then.
Rob.
Ahhh no...infernal secret weapons.....avast and back to port....
I'll float this as a possibility then.
Rob.
Do not be fooled Neil, it looks like a hedgehog ... but no. they are cunning and shoot with everything they have, and right now I'm on the run...
...must seek land:
...WAIT...what is that? can it really be true?
help from the South
Hi ho, morale rises
Morten
...put him in the brig until he's sober...
actually I do not quite know what David did wrong, but my best guess is he has unloaded anchor the wrong place with put paying tax...SO, yes David is responsible for the new Epic naval battle
well, I was wrong when I anticipated that David was about to run out of bullets and at this moment I am trying to rectify my mistake...
Morten
...put him in the brig until he's sober...
Give them two salvos.
Fired upon from both sides. time to change course ...
...and i will be back gentlemen
...put him in the brig until he's sober...
Well done sir.
We have Captain Morten on the run now.
Signal General chase, and if I cant hit him with my
anymore, I'll run out my
And use it as a

Tough luck Captain Morten. Although you made it safely to port, the French Frigate coming to your aid was caught in a

Bligh.
Sheesk! I am living in Bizarro world!
Feel free to join us in Beer Wars Richard.
Rob.
I think I will pass on this for the mo, my mum has been in a care home for 3 years now with Dementia, and has now got pneumonia. She is expected to pass away today or tomorrow.
A bit of a blessing really, but still rather sad.
God bless you and your family Richard. I am so sorry 3 years is a very long time and must have worn you all up. Nothing i can say or nothing i can do, but one great Danish author and former vicar, Johannes Mřllehave, did put it in this way:
" Det ender godt" ("it ends well").
Morten
Dear Mr. Bligh
Given the circumstances, allow me to suggest we continue the sea battle tomorrow?
Morten
I have only just seen this on this thread. Not one I follow. I understand you as my Dad made the same journey 18 months ago. He was lucky and only had 4 months in a home. I was happy for him to go. I had lost the man called my farther a long time ago. All the things I know he did not want to happen to him, happened. This made me sick and sad. My Mum has moved on and we can remember him as he was before Dementia. It kills all around the person with it. We are now free to think of the good times we all had. Hope you and yours do too.I think I will pass on this for the mo, my mum has been in a care home for 3 years now with Dementia, and has now got pneumonia. She is expected to pass away today or tomorrow.
A bit of a blessing really, but still rather sad.
I send my love to you all.
Be safe
Rory
Thanks for your thoughts, This has been a long haul, at times, you wonder how you coped! I am focused now on the fact that this is as bad as it gets, and the route back to happy-land is ahead
My condolences to you and your family, Richard. Such situations are always sad and full of mixed emotions. I will pray for you.
Thanks Shipmates!
Its ok really. Once we get past the funeral things will improve, but there is much to do before then of course!
Please carry on having fun on this forum, normality is ok!!! I am finding a lot of pleasure on TMP and here which helps a lot!
Just got in tonight Richard.
I'm really sorry to hear that your mother is so near to the great adventure.
I just hope that her passing is an easy one.
Pneumonia can be kind in that way.
Although I did not know her personally, I will say a prayer for her, yourself and your family tonight.
Rob.
Thanks Rob, but I dont mind beer related things going up!!! I just had a call from the home saying she is rattly chested and showing blueness in her face, which are all good signs that the end, happily, is near.
Prayers are always welcome!see? the site even has an icon for it!
Be happy chaps! Death can be a gift!
Your wish is my command sir.
Rob.
Tsk, Tsk, what-ho? - taking orders from a mere Midshipman?
please remember that just because my name is captain Bligh, I am not the heartless flogging martinet whom some would have you believe me to be Mr Christian.
Now where's that MIDSHIPMAN Richard Herkybird hiding?
Ah, that would be telling!
Happily, my Mum finally passed away about an hour and a half ago, and I am waiting for the GP to come and certify it, then the funeral director, the council et al to sort, then back to sensible things like wargaming!
My condolences to you and you family at this sad time Richard.
A prayer has winged its way to you all.
Rob.
Cheers Rob!
Appropriate, perhaps?
My condolences to you and your family. Very appropriate beer and i'm glad you have the energy to participate in this remarkable battle...wich remind me...where is the stubborn Mr. Bligh?
French amplification did not help much...
while he is hiding and Mr. Richard apparently is up to something, I'll wait ...
Morten

Unfortunately Captain Bligh was caught in the tail end of the

My condolences on your loss. Take care.
