Ipswich with G. He was meeting some folk called 'Techies'-apparently they take care of those there computer thingies and all the wires and boxes that connect them up. Being an old sea bear I don't know much about this World Wide Web he keeps going on about. In all my travels across the seven seas I never saw any such thing!

Picture of me outside the Suffolk Institute of Technology. It used to be the building for the Ipswich School of Art - Brian Eno and Maggie Hambling were arty students there. I bet that they couldn't tar a ship as well as I could!

The other is this guy I met outside. No not an art student but some poor unfortunate soul who kept babbling that he was a Professor Gangrene (obviously I recoiled in horror -many a shipmate has lost a limb or life to it) and that some one called 'Action Man' had foiled his plans for world domination! I left him there in the street as he raved about neutron atomics or whatever. He reminds me of that castaway we found in the Pacific -he had been marooned for 20 years after refusing to share his chocolate digestives with his crew.
