Funnily enough I did notice the shift in desgin earlier fireNice when I was forum crawling...I initially thought it was my computer playing up again
I blame my last ship for my addiction to vegemite. Started off with marmite, ate that on toast for breakfast. It was all I could manage when I had all of 10mins to bolt it down and then leg it up 7 decks to get to the bridge for my watch. Anyway back on track. We ran out in Tahiti, next port was Auckland, and with the stores order came vegemite not marmite, and with another three months onboard ship ahead of me it sorta grew on me
As for my tattoo designs Nephtys, there was a site but people kept stealing my art (and bandwidth) so it was taken down but I do believe that this page on The Collector's Blog Might still be displaying a few of my early fantasy tribal designs. I do take commisions in my spare time, currently working on neatening up a design for my friend's back and upper arms.
Funny you should say that about swimming TinklePants, a friend of mine can't swim and yet he still works for a gas carrier company...I think its Shell he works for, I could be wrong.

I'm sure I will enjoy my stay here Loki, if insanity its a pre-requiste then I'm nuttier than a squirrel poo! Who else willingly cuts themselves off from civilisation six months at a time? oh, and have a hug in return
As for ships Pink, I've been on a nuclear cargo carrier for three months(putting greenpeace activist (me) on a nuclear cargo ship not a good idea...ever) I was on a lighthouse tender for three and a half weeks. My last ship was a general cargo/ Ro-ro/ container... everything from bulk organic copra to coaches. As it stands at the moment my next ship is a BAS boat, aka The British Antartic Survey ships... hehe will have to take my poi with me ...first person to spin poi in Antartica that could be amusing....and very very cold!
