Yeah that’s what we have onboard. That Captain Phillips movie had a lot of bollox in it.
You’ve done the sea survival course? |
My first jon upon leaving school was as a decky learner on an oilrig standby ship.
I didn't like it from the moment I set foot on ship.
When the skipper was introduced to me he was taking a leak over the side, he still had his knob in his hand as he turned to greet me.
The engineer, who occupied the bunk beside mine, had a stack of porno mags and spent virtually the whole trip w@nking vigorously.
I spent the entire time seasick, really badly sea sick, I am a terrible sailor to this day. I have actually felt sea sick on a pedalo.
The skipper was cross-eyed, which gave me a bit of anxiety as we were bobbing about close to a rig and he was the bloke mainly in charge of keeping it away from the rig.
I did have a bit of luck though, the boat developed a fault and we had to return to Lowestoft two weeks early. The rest of the crew referred to me as Jonah after that, but I didnt care I was on my way home.
The ships cook gave me teh leftovers of a hock of ham for my dog as I disembarked, and told me to avoid customs as they wouldn't like me bringing it ashore. Everyome else just sauntered out of port, I got hauled in to the customs post.
I picked up my pay, went home and never went back.
Not the life for me. |  |

Bought an art desk, acrylic paints, oil pastels, loads of expensive paintbrushes and canvases and decided to take up painting again after 30 years! |  |

Number two looks like the sort of thing Captain Phillips was kidnapped in.
I have practised dragging and being dragged into number 3 in a pool in Lowestoft. |
Me too, they’re bloody hard work. I did my sea survival certificate at the Fire Service College as a student. Being hosed down while trying to right and get into one of those things in the dark wasn’t fun. I wouldn’t want to attempt it in the ocean. |  |

Have you seen Grayson Perry's show? Very good and strangely relaxing. |  |

That’s superb.
I have had a lot of sea sick cadets on ships. I normally make them up a ginger tea.
The North Sea can be good fun when you’ve got the right (wrong) weather conditions! |  |

Helped set up a local community group helping those self isolating with shopping.
Spoke to my neighbours.
Cycled over 650 miles in April :-)
For the first time in 30 years since studying it, have discovered there are practical uses for mathematical modelling.
Worked out how to use zoom / houseparty.
Reconnected with some old teacher mates.
Looked forward to bin day. |  |

I have, it's one of the things that prompted my spending splurge!
But Ihave to say, I am extremely jealous of anyone with any talent for art - as I have none.
The people I mean are those who can, with just a few pencil swipes or brush strokes, conjure up something marvellous. Whereas I, after a few hours of scribbling and erasing, or daubing and overpainting, always end up with an incoherent, out-of perspective mess! | |

You're making me feel infeerior now, helping others and defeloping yourself.
Well done on the cycling. I managed about 4 rides for 80 miles. Oh well, it's a start. |  |

Not go out of the house. I haven't left the house since the 1st of May. I've been doing home workouts and spending lots of time in the garden, so I'm getting enough exercise, but I can't be arsed to go out properly at the moment. [Post edited 14 May 2020 17:55]

Running.
Since my new disc last Nov I've been able to gently ease back into this activity I've always hated. I've got 24 years of running to catch-up on. I'm loving Strava and a few military physical training groups on FB.
1.5 miles with 500 squats and 100 press-ups. Took me three days to walk properly but what a rush! |  |

Ran over 12 miles for my weekly ‘long’ Friday morning run; I never thought I’d manage that.
But you’re enjoying MS Teams? Seriously?
It’s been the bane of my life since mid March! |  | | |

Just about, but I never want the feeling of peeing miniature glass shards again
Was it a cold or man flu? |
Just a cold. Plenty of paracetamol and sleep.
Looking forward to visiting the rubbish tip tomorrow. |  |

I get seasick in the bath. I went on a wreck diving trip off the east coast of Queensland once, thinking it'd be like the Barrier Reef stuff. But it was open ocean and we had a 3 hour RIB trip out across stormy seas to get there, which I spend the wole time hanging over the side, lashed to the side rope of the RIB.
We dived, I spent 45 minutes feeding the fish and sea snakes a chum out of the previous night's dinner through my regulator. Then they tied me back to the side of the boat for the 3 hour trip back.
Worse day of my life and last time I went diving (I'd just reached dive master and up til then I'd been loving it). | |

It’s taken me ages to feel anywhere near right again even after 10 days of strong anti biotics
Hope you ok now? |  |

Decorated my house from top to bottom.
I was in a Death Metal band in my teens called Morgue, we made one album then split up. I was lead singer/growler and I wrote the lyrics which were pretty sick/super offensive. I've started making a new Morgue album, writing the most puerile and offensive lyrics I can think of and screaming them over a wall of guitars and thumping drums. |  |

I've not posted anything up yet. I'm a bit unsure about posting it because the lyrics are seriously dodgy, I set out to write the most objectionable lyrics as I could. One song is about a pizza delivery bloke who has the virus on a death wish who coughs over every pizza he delivers. I rhyme Coughing with Coffin. There's another song about buying corpses from a care home and turning them into takeaway meals, "Grandmas aplenty/piled out the back/ I could them into/ a tasty snack" | |

I went to the recycling village, as it’s called up here, today.
Even number plate cars on even dates. | |

Managed to fit into a small T shirt again.
Stay relatively motivated to work.
Finally gave my (faux) leather studded jacket a paint touch up and added some patches.
Decided to not get a car when I move back Ipswich way and opt for a hybrid bike instead.
Ate far too many potatoes. |  |
