I expect I'll be treated with deference and a great deal more respect from here on out.....
There's a lot of things they didn't tell me when I signed on with this outfit....

All you ole gray beards look alike!
You all look astonishingly like me except I'm thin and fit!

I think you have a point - way too many blokes with grey hair and/or hats and/or grey beards and/or wire rimmed glasses.
To even up the numbers, here are 19 blokes who have none of the above attributes - it's a dance ensemble run by the brother of the girl that SWIMPAL used to share a flat with - he's in the picture.

Never trust a man with a clean workshop.
The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.
Personal failures are too important to be trusted to others.

I expect there will be comments on the beard. I haven't shaved since I went into the submarine service in 1966.
So here's me feeling pretty good, just launched on Saturday. New boat, new boots and nice to get some good weather.
