CooWee Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hello everybody, this is my first post on this forum and I have noticed a few from the other side as it were. I am on Moonlight Shadow from this Saturday, based at Brundall and we'll remain south during this trip and if we have guests have a quick trip around Breydon, amongst other places. I notice Baz that you are a fortnight older than me, happy brithday. I notice it is a different setup on this site compared compared to the NBF, as regarding computers. So hopefully I don't mess this post up. As I type I notice that the NBF is still down, shame, hope Richard can get it sorted and I wish him well in his efforts.

MauriceMynah Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hi Keith, Maurice_Mynah here, This forum wouldn't accept my normal screen name to I've had to use an old nickname. Hope you have a great time, sadly I'm unlikely to get up there within the fortnight so have a boat coffee for me! Edited to add... JTF stands for "John the Fish" ... don't ask 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MauriceMynah Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hi John & Mary-Jane, Without wishing to derail Keith's thread, I used to drink in a pup where there were rather a lot of regulars with the same names. Several Johns, quite a few Andys and more Pauls than you could poke a stick at. Very quickly the rather welsh habit of adding something relevant to the name developed. 'Andy the gas' was a gas fitter and M.E Paul suffered from M.E. I used to arrange fishing trips and do a lot of fishing generally and thus became "John the fish" that got shortened to Fish by some, and JTF by others. There was one exception to this system. There was a chap called Albert. It was uncanny but if anyone in the pub mentioned his name, he would arrive within a few minutes. After a while he became known as Jane Fonda by a few optimists. That became shortened to Jane. I don't think he ever knew why he became known as Jane, but it didn't seem to worry him! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 thanks for that, John.... "arrive"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooWee Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hi everyone, Thank you all for really pleasant greeting, this site does have a really nice ambience to it, I could Judge that by just reading some of the posts before joining up. There doesn't seem to be any angst out there. Dave we'll doing the usual suspects I dare say, in no particular order, Geldeston, Beccles, WRC, Oulton Broad and where ever the fancy takes us. That reminds me I must print off a tide table. And JTF, couldn't you drink out of a glass like everyone else! The imagery that conjures up, well, what can I say. Again though thanks again for the warm greetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
