That's right, we're I live you often get people off what I suppose are mini cruises and there is fuck all to see apart from the old walls and a pub which shamelessly changed its name to the Titanic and they take photos of themselves under the sign, if I'm walking past I often tell them it's got fuck all to do with the Titanic but they don't understand. 

A nothing happening town for sure. 

The only good thing about the place is the level of fanny in West Quay in the summer. If I was ever going to get myself nicked for wanking in public, it would be in the Zara in West Quay.

I'll bear that in mind.

Can Halewood Pete officially be labelled a Cruiselinerspotter? Like a Trainspotter, but with cruise liners.

He's just hanging around the docks, trying to earn a few extra quid.

Great ship. In 2002ish they had a random drugs test after a deployment to the Caribbean and about 20 got booted straight out of the Navy. 

 

 

EDIT: Just checked, it was 2008 apparently.

Prince of Wales carrier had to drop anchor off the Isle of Wight, a couple of hours after deployment. Some issue with the starboard propellor shaft?

I’m in Fowey in Cornwall, a yacht called Slipstream has arrived overnight.  Apparently Tom Cruise was on it recently but this time it’s a British singer. If it’s Dua Lipa she’s deffo stalking me.  
 

Its €330k a week to charter.

When I was in Ibiza there was a Yacht called Resilience all I could think was these people who own and use these are a completely separate species.

I remember being in Venice and chatting with two girls who worked on this big fuck off yacht. Absolutely a 3 way would have been on the cards if it wasn't for me being there with my missus. If I'd known she would turn out to be a robbing cunt I'd have gone full throttle. 

 

Some of them yachts are just unreal. Jammy rich twats

Exactly that, if I'd had the benefit of hindsight. Not sure about the toe fucking though. I know you lot down there don't mind a bit of it but it's not really for me.

Looks like the Kruzenshtern one of the biggest sailing ships in the word. I remember going on it when the Tall Ships were in in the early 90's.

Try living on one of the bastards. 

 

Nah, ships are ace. Great days. Unless you happen to be swimmer of the watch during a man overboard exercise in the middle of the north sea in winter.
