Dave did you have to climb the mast at Ganges, or is that just a myth told by sailors to us gullible civilians.

He had to search for the golden rivet. I believe that was another initiation ritual.

Not at Ganges, but I did go up the mast at HMS ST Vincent, if I remember correctly I did it several times, but not to the top, and didn't do any of the displays,

The Button Boys were amazing.

At college I used to have an arrangement with the storekeeper for dealing with first years when they came late. I'd send them to the store to ask for a long weight about this big.

After having kept them a while, and when they began to complain about slow service, he'd ask them how it feels to have their time wasted, then explain the joke/lesson. They'd shuffle back to the group looking a bit miffed.

Snowing a blizzard here and the car drivers are still flying about like they're auditioning for Ben Hur, half of them without the mandatory headlamps. No ride for me, in the interests of not dying today.

I was only in for a couple of years, then lived in Gosport for a while.
