I have used the site quite a lot previously. The musical intro seems to give you a spark and a stepback in time...............every time.

 

"A Matelot is not born, he is made out of leftovers! God built the world and the animals and then recycled the gash to create this dastardly weapon."

Can't keep secrets here

I used to be a wireless op on RAF Marine Craft and therefore was a sailor in the Royal Air Force!

 

I know a few WW2 sailors, and they are just as drunk, full of life and still chasing women as ever. I swear to god if Bill Large wasn't already spoken for I wouldn't be safe.
