All of these scared the crap out of me when I was a kid!

Oof, the Black Nun. Still think of that today when climbing the ladder into the attic.

Yes, that was the one that scared me the most, and it was pre-watershed!

On the subject, I highly recommend this book. Over 700 pages of this stuff:

Yes!

I was a musician on board, was sent home from Freeport after the accident and then rejoined in Cadiz a week before we resumed our cruises.

What kind of work were you doing?

[Mcphisto]

I wasn't working, I was cruising We were onboard the first cruise after the repairs, thought it was going to be cancelled at one point.
You weren't the guitarist in the pub were you?

I remember you, you were very good, We were the annoying couple that kept asking for U2 and Oasis and checking how hard your finger tips were as mine hurt as I had just started learning to play ;)
What a small world!

I will probably bump into you somewhere, on Anthem now and Independence later this year.

Do persevere with the guitar, it gets easier, I promise!
