    Default Who we all are

    It's been some time since we have done this and we have some new members. So, let's have a roll call.

    In the shop with Captain Haddock. It's only tea, though; the captain would not approve.

    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.

    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.
