I done a cruise.
SS Nevasa no less.
Bunk Beds, down the Adriatic from Venice back up to Naples & Pompeii
Now I would go on one around the Carib IF someone else was paying but nah far too many places to visit if I had actual money

When my time comes, that’s how I’d like to go.

Which ship?
We wanted one of the smaller ones but they were fully booked so had to settle for the Britannia. It’s the only one of the larger ones we actually liked…or at least didn’t dislike. We did a short cruise on it coming out of lockdown…it was only half full then.

It was the QE2
I’m not sure I would, what a way to be remembered. He was a Japanese guy, dining with his wife with half a dozen others on the table. You should have seen the state of it, and them! I had finished for the day but was on call with a pager, me and my opposite number took it in turns. I got the shout to grab a wheelchair from the hospital, go to the Stables of the World, as the restaurant was affectionately known, where a gentleman had collapsed. I just beat Doc Roberts there, the dining table looked like a bomb had hit it, waiters panicking, fellow diners in evening jackets, the ladies dressed to the nines with copious amounts of vomit splattered everywhere. What a fucking nightmare! The Doc confirmed to me that he had passed, we put him in the wheelchair tucked in with a blanket and whisked him out to the lift and down to the hospital, with his poor wife in tow. Thankfully there were a few Japanese punters on board, one in particular who was well known to Doc Roberts and he arrived at the hospital to confirm to the poor lady that he had passed away. I needed a couple of swift pints of Harp after that!
Totally made up nonsense.
Nobody in history has ever needed a couple of pints of Harp even as a death joke.

As it happens Draught Harp was the only draught beer available for the crew on there in those days, and to be fair once you got used to it it wasn’t a bad pint at all. It was also 20p a pint.

Brilliant drummer. The Jam were a special band for me. Sad news.

I once serenaded my missus as she was waking up with a rendition of Snooker Loopy in the style of William Shatner.
We’ll show… YOU
What we CAN do.
With a load of…
BALLS
And a snooker (rhyming with hooker)
CUE
She wasn’t happy.
This makes me sad. Some people today are so ungrateful

Flack’s version of Ewan MacColl’s The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face has to be one of the most beautiful love songs ever recorded, absolutely stunning. RIP.

There is a lovely story about when he wrote it in about 10 mins and spoke the lyric over the phone to his wife who needed another song for her set…

No foul play when his wife and dog are found alongside him 
Carbon Monoxide poisoning? …or a suicide pact.
