| At random: The USS Blenny SS 324, on her last patrol of WW II sank 63 vessels. One by torpedo and 62 by deck gunfire, demolition charges set by boarding parties or by burning. On several occasions shotguns were fired through the boats bottoms. These were all vessels under the 500 ton JANAC limit for tonnage sunk and not counted in the "official" totals or ships sunk. This is also a record for the most vessels ever sunk by a submarine on one patrol. |

COMSUBBBS Posts: 2974 Location: Liverpool, England | Subject: RE: The Golden Age of Woodies Sid, I find myself going down the same path of all our yesterdays quite frequently of late. Whether it be old cars, motor cycles, guitars, old flames or whatever, I seriously wonder why I persist on this nostalgia kick. I can no longer drive a car or ride a bike because of a narcolepsy condition. I can't play the guitar or ukulele properly anymore due to severe arthritis in my fingers. Sometimes I feel I would be better typing with my bloody elbows and that's a fact. Forget about those old or new flames. To be honest I can only identify with Willie Nelson when he said he has outlived his John Thomas. To rectify that situation I would likely need half-a-bed-to-let and a bucket of Viagra. Apart from that I am still firing on sixteen diesel cylinders; thanks to meds and those lovely care nurses. Seriously mate, I do enjoy reading your posts and it's good to see you back on the BBS. Yours Aye Pedro  | ||

COMSUBBBS Posts: 2974 Location: Liverpool, England | Subject: RE: The Golden Age of Woodies As a post script to the above. This morning I was sitting in my dentists waiting room opposite an attractive blonde young lady wearing a Chanel suit with a very short mini skirt. I couldn't believe it when she loudly said to me, "Excuse me, are you looking at my legs?" This local beauty was so far up herself I couldn't resist answering, "No madam, I am above all that." It obviously went way over her dumb head because she didn't respond. I may be past it but I am still observant lol. Pedro | ||
