Come aboard....we're expecting you! Yes a couple of icons cruised into darwin harbour in the last 12 hours. The QE2 is tied up at Stokes Hill Wharf....and the Original Love Boat (huge in Australia) has arrived alongside. She doesnt go by the name Pacific Princess...She is the Discovery. Beautiful both.
If she is then she'd be the biggest bloody warship in the world wouldnt she? That'd take at least 6 torps!
Dont get me started Urqh... : ) Oh and you are referring to her being a troop ship during the Falklands war?
... don't say anything, but I have on good authority, that this is a video of a gleeful CAC, cruising Darwin Harbour aboard his beloved Pacific Princess. [video=youtube;Pgpxb3jyeI0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Pgpxb3jyeI0[/video] What a happy guy!
OMG! It was dark...That bloke in the blue DOES look scarily like me! Im imagining the other bloke is Urqh...somehow the hook just sits right. (and the voice). Put a pipe in my mouth, and put me in a tinnie at the back...and you are soooo right. You can go out on the harbour here at two in the morning...quiet and 28 degrees!
... wishing I was that guy passed out in the cabin. Don't tell Urqh, but I think he should consider the SS Yoga/Darwin Harbour Kelp Weight Reducing Plan, he's really put on the beef, er, or in his case, would that be mutton? BTW, be VERY careful when you pick your nose, you wouldn't want to scratch the inside of your skull at the same time. Ole!
Hang on....that geezer does look like me....But I don't have the hand...well I do..its the legs that are the problem...Urqh...looks wantanly over the cliffs of Dover...Sings the songs of old....Songs that made a man what he is... what do we do with a drunken sailor, what do we do with a drunken sailor, what do we do with a drunken sailor, earliiii in the mornin....ohhhh ey, up she rises...ohhhh ey, us she rises...ohhh ey, up she rises.....eeeearrrliii in the morning... Shave im on is belly wit a rusty razor, shave im on is belly wit a rusty razor..shave im on is belly wit a rust razor errrrliiii in the mornin....all together now... I'm getting a bit worried about you lot...This is a war forum...big bangs...guns...screams and urqh leaving the line to go for help...its a thing I do..... Love exciting fits into ww2 where exactly....apart from the old Hitler...he only had one ball...the other...fell down a waterfall...his mother...I'll stop there...but you get the gist....war is a manly thing....apart from Celementine obviously...no room for singing in boats....that guy does look a bit like me though...and if cac looks like that then he's been hitting the bbq too much...
If she is then she'd be the biggest bloody warship in the world wouldnt she? That'd take at least 6 torps! Among troopships, her WWII predecessors Queen Mary and Elizabeth were larger - not as comfortable though, they jammed in up to 15,000 troops. Also not quite as big as our Nimitz class CVNs.
I always thought that if they joined the Love Boat with Fantasy Island they could get two more years out of the combined series.....then you guys could say "The Plane" "The Plane" and see if it was of WWII origin which would get it back to our forum. See, you deserve this for making my mind wander. Then they could combine Fantasy Island with Gilligan's Island just so we could see Ginger and Mary Ann again...and we would let Clementine look at Gilligan for no charge...........perhaps catch him in lederhosen.
