Thanks for the message. I didn't get your email address and would have to reply though PMs. This will get very confusing for the few brain cells I have left.

Nobby, I have seen your name on the forum and was wondering if it was you. Neither you nor the anti/tankers are forgotten. And I am pissed that I missed the FI reunion. Through these pages I have just found Mac McIntosh and now communicating through emails. I would like to here from any of the old ...

Ditto, John_D, Good luck with your application
and medical. Watch-out for that first question in the aptitude test. They will show you a picture of a wood screw, then you have to put a tick next to the correct tool one should use. The choices are: spanner, screwdriver and hammer. Phew! that one had ...
