Not sure what program you were watching, but there was no one called Master Bates or Seaman Staines in Captain Pugwash, and the cabin boy was not called Roger either. It is was a student joke that has now become an urban legend apparently. Though Master Mate is quite close.Oh yes Captain Pugwash with Master bates and Seaman Staines it took me a long time to work that out having watched it as a kid.

Nah. That was Dick Emery"Oh you are awful, but I like you" Sid Snott
So how come so many large container ships have been hi jacked?You have a rowing boat, you have more chance of being attacked and losing the battle to a duck.......
You are rather well informed BE you got shares or something. joke.Because they are/were crewed by cheap inexperienced labour, many ships that operate in those seas now have anti piracy equipment fitted and it happens a lot less.......wouldn’t go through there in a yacht though
Pirate is right thought those Somali are state sponsored terrorists....they even sell shares in the spoils before attacking.
Ha ha I wish! Spent many years working on ships as a stevedore (second generation) trust me once they put the piracy barriers on and replaced the crew with some seriously hard Russians the piracy rates dropped rapidlyYou are rather well informed BE you got shares or something. joke.

Agree now that is one country that doesn't take many prisoners either. Got locked up there once my self Scary times back in the mid 80s, only for a few hours mind you, for a motoring offence, still scary though.Ha ha I wish!

Met many people from all over the world on them ships Pete and the Russians were without doubt the hardest/coldest people...Agree now that is one country that doesn't take many prisoners either.
I had 17 Russian staff to supervise, most of them were Ochin Harisho OK in Pidgeon Russian.Met many people from all over the world on them ships Pete and the Russians were without doubt the hardest/coldest people...
I have a major dislike for them.Met many people from all over the world on them ships Pete and the Russians were without doubt the hardest/coldest people...
Why is that SW? Genuine question. I found most of the Local Guys I worked with were OK just from a different culture, just wanted the same things we wanted, It's the system they lived under that is at fault, I respected their views and they reciprocated, I think. Before you ask "No I aint a Commie either"I have a major dislike for them.

Don't suppose many folk wouldn't have a dislike for anyone that annexed them for so many years.Never met a polish man that did like a Russian either SWD.....thing used to get a bit frosty if some of our polish boys had to spend to long with them in the gold of a ship! Got many polish friends and not one of em is a fan of mother Russia!
