In case anyone was wondering about my previous dealings with Geordie-Peorgie all those years ago---Well, here is an enlightenment, in Nautical Parlance.---

               "Tug" Wilson was an Airy-Fairy oppo of mine on the Big E ,1966-69.He was a Baby Chockhead on the Upper Scupper ( a Roof-Rat) and I ( "Bomber" Mills ) was a Pinkie in the Lower Shed. He was U/A, so couldn"t draw his tot, but I was G, and got me grog ! That"s how I became a Bubbly Rat !!But we both got bitten by the Tanglin Tiger !Now I don"t know if Georgie Caught The Boat Up or not, but it wouldn"t surprise me, as he was dead keen on Nee Soon Virgins---or was it Kai-Tais ?-- I can"t remember now! Same thing , really ,when you"re completely Shyters ,and trying to fit a Purple Piston in a Sembawang Cylinder.Anyhow, after the Aden Withdrawal ( which was nothing to do with Bagging Off (Sadly !)), we went to Singers for Crimbo,Rabbits,etc,and I got a sort of Pierhead Jump to join the Crabfats at Changi----had to learn to walk sideways ,for starters !At the time, I was in a group called "The Guinness Grenadiers " which some Big O.D. ( OK, it was me !! ) came up with after singing about MacAlpines Fusiliers.There was meself, three Fish-heads ( a Stoker-Tiff, a Greenie,and a Pinkie Killick ) a Leading Chockhead,and a Waffoo Killick Pinkie from the Flying Bananas !!Anyway, we did lots of Sod"s Operas and Messdeck Hoolies, and Georgie, being Skin at the time, must have thought of us as singing Sea-Daddies, I suppose.You"ve only got to look at him today, to see the kind of role-model(s) he chose !! I mean, who else would do a pro gig wearing Brown Hatter"s Overalls ?? I still reckon he"s Beef !!He"s obviously fond of his Scran, and some Egyptian P.T.,by the look of it !! Cheers, Oppo !!
