Its not a bad thing to have entertainment other than the messes. Living in the age modern tech advantages, we had up to 5 xboxes networked on the RóisÃn for the gamers on the trollop deck, thats ten players in teams of two split screen. Also for the laptops a three way hub for the coxns, engineers and dustys office. Very easy to run cables through the deckheads. Twas like our own netgames café never a dull moment and plenty of square eyes.
Coming soon will be an age of nightclasses for the likes of MIF PMS CAPS ECDL and so on. Instructers in these fields are in seagoing appointments so what better way to pass the time on a Loooooooong rotation ........As always, too many christians and never enough lions.

Originally posted by rosserThe Navy has changed quiet a bit in that regards Lads. Most people do stick to their cabins more so on the Roisin and Niamh. Its got more to do wiht the younger crews that we have now, the whole social aspect has changed. No more cornflakes and blues. DVDs are the order of the day and no Video rentals from "topa the hill" the week before a patrol anymore.
The days alongside side spent in banter and craic in the pub are almost dead and gone with the type crew we have today.
and we lived 10 of us in a billet- now a lot of places are 2 man rooms
great for self abuse but brutal for building up esrit de corps
You never see the young lads playing monopoly , scrabble or the likes of risk
nowadays
hurumph hurumphThings fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

So the days of drinking competitions, bag of shite competions and farting competitions. darts matches and dragging people out through the vents in cabin doors have passed.
Political correctness has got in the way of good old fashioned debauchery.Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe

couple of years in the reserve and then a couple in the full time NS.
It was fifa compitions on the playstation in my time.
And in regart to the last couple of posts. The certain chief mech told us a few stories during our mechs cource. some things never change!!The British were met with their own weapons,
They had gone down into the mire to destroy us and our nation,
And down after them we had to go.
