Default The Librarian's Apology

All,
Sorry I have been a bit quiet lately. I have been shoehorning 450 sailors back into an aircraft carrier after a year in dockyard hands. It still looks like a ship under construction and is a H&S nightmare.
We have already changed 6000 neon strip lights!!!!!!!!!
Just finished reading 42 threads and god knows how many posts. Back up to date and I hope to provide a better service a a few weeks time.

Real life has to take over sometimes Mike, wouldn't worry about it.

Good luck with getting your Gin Palace back on the water.

Are you sure?

I thought we'd de-commed all our ships and planes?

Has this one slipped through the net?

Yea, work comes first until you win the Lottery

You mean that you guys don't just sit there all day waiting for me to post 'how to' questions about my '8?

You'll be telling me that Santa isn't real next!

Newsflash! Santa gored to death by reindeer. Rudolph held for police questioning. Elves distraught. Gnomes suspected of lacing hay with PCP.
