Not a better tasting beverage out there I quite like Tennents when visiting the inlaws. Gives me a proper headache the day after though. Sounds like a character does Captain Gordon. My dad was in the Navy and had a few tales but an entire career at sea is something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter fatolive Posted December 28, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2020 I enjoyed reading that, fantastic stuff. real life tales are always more interesting than any fiction can produce. you are right, an afternoon with a few pints listening to your dad would have been fascinating. RIP Captain Michael Tennant Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

embankment Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Thankyou everyone for showing an interest in Dad. He was a gentleman , old style . If you are lucky enough that your Dad is still around. Next time you see him. Give him a massive hug , even if its not what you would normally do . And tell him you love him.

The Sky Boat song. Yep - I brought Dads beloved Highlands to Howe Bridge. And it even chucked it down, proper Scottish weather. Just had haggis and mash for tea .
