I reckon there is a party in the making if I can get hold of one for a day or so.
My Nigerian mate is not longer talking to the Somalian pirates so I won't be getting the cruise liner I had lined up.
now funny you should ask that on the very day i came into possession of the HMS ArkRoyal do i sense a deal in the making
sadly it is a bunch of pics of the ark from when i served on it but it was this morning
b1galus - Do you have any contacts? I reckon the Big Bike Bash lake jump would be overshadowed by a 120mph steam ram assisted launch into the Solent...
not any more although we must be due a squadron reunion but we used to launch pianos off the for'ard cat regularlyand the odd stoker
If I can wangle access to a boat, do you reckon it would make a good event venue?
two lt's on the ark rode a tandem of the bow cat for reasons known only to themselves. lt butler and lt kidner might have been subbies at the time and chris robinson the runner was also an lt and used to run and cycle round the roof lots of tight turns and obstacles to contend with
Have you been drinking or have I lost the power of English?
I don't understand a word of that last port.
I think 'lt' is some sort of rank and not 'it'
No. It's just that Matelot English and regular English are very different.
to much pussers rum for b1galus
As an actual answer to the initial question. It would, i'd imagine be an excellent venue. I have been to party's on carriers, i was serving on them at the time though.
I can't see you finding an aircaft carrier for rent very easily though!
So that means some bloke rode a tandem off the front of the boat and a couple of other blokes also rode.
Cheers
I will see if the Royal Navy are doing anything.
Big Bike Bash 2010 is on by the way, this is just a private party.
do you reckon it would make a good event venue?
drive it into international waters to avoid liability claims 🙂
there is a tot in the cupboard as it happens but purely for medicinal use you understand and yes they were lieutenants
my last tot of pussers had my dolphins in the bottom of it, near on choked to death in front of the capt 😳

drinking with the joss!!!
well i was in the tv series sailor and was on reasonable terms with the joss on there and the phrase 'WELL KNOWN TO THE REGULATING BRANCH " was on my docs lol
your forgiven, running ashore with branch failures is a cardinal sin... 😉
(grins) notice everyone else has quietly snuck out of the thread lol
cleary our dits are not making any sense to the civvies 😉
