    The Real McCoy, is mostly naval but 99% privateering from back in the days of US prohibition. Keel hauled was a bit of a stinker if you was adverse to a bath. Ice in your drinks anyone??? Said the captain of the Titanic :eek: Cash on the nail is another great old one and we’ve recently had our nails removed.

    Ozziedog,,,,,,,,, all ship shape down here in Brizzal:)
