This first pic  might be a bit of a giveaway, shows Chippy Ned  and his better half Ellen  getting stuck into something chilled and sugar/ salt encrusted, but it ....................................................................... was  definitely not taken in their loungeroom at home...  Facebook posts revealed they're in fact getting stuck into a few pre-sailing cocktails  in one of the many lounge bars  aboard the Royal Princess...  In fact the pair are but two of a party of sixteen in all, made up of 13th MOBI Intake Artificers and their respective wives, girlfriends and two of our much loved widows...  Of course, getting them all together for a group photo op prior to departure is worse than herding cats, the photo above  at least captured half of them... L-R: Paulette Dunlop (widow of Bob 'Kip' Dunlop,) sharing with Denise Cocks, (widow of Chippy Bruce Cocks,) behind her in the hat, Pete Williamson, then Helen Williamson, Les and Karen Handicott, Terry and Lorraine Gunton... (Not present, Shang and Marlene Moffitt, Tim Baker and Brig, Bruce and Chris Chalmers, Ned and Ellen Kelly...)I'd actually travelled down from the NSW Central Coast by train with Denice Cocks, and Bruce and Chris Chalmers with a view to catching up with a couple of '13th Intakers' I'd not seen in a long while before they sailed, but unfortunately, they'd already boarded the ship by the time we arrived at Circular Quay and proved to be uncontactable..!  As nobody was going to come ashore once embarked, there was no point in hanging around, so this  pic was taken from the ferry I caught en route to Barangaroo and home... To compete my 'cruise collection', Ned and Ellen successfully herded all 16 of our 'cruisin' cats'  in the one place at the same time for a roll call  and I.D. check...  Thanks Ellen... ................................................ L to R (back row, standing):  boy, Pete Williamson, Terry Gunton, and on the rails, John Kelly and Greg Moffitt... ....................................................L to R (middle row, seated): Helen Williamson, Karen Handicott, Brigid Butt, Tim Baker, Bruce Chalmers and Les Handicott.......................................................L to R (front row, seated): Chris Chalmers, Paulette Dunlop, Marlene Moffitt, Denise Cocks, Ellen Kelly and Lorraine Gunton...

Geordie, I believe her name is 'Catapault', or 'Slingshot', or 'Shanghai'  or similar...!

The stories I could tell about Monsieurs Kelly and Moffitt, it would make your hair curl, luckily, like me, they are tonsorially challenged.
