One man’s Memoir of time in the RN during the late fifties and the sixties as an artificer.Firstly as an apprentice from 1957 to his first ship, HMS Diana, as a UA killick tiff in a PO’s mess thru a submarine depot ship, a frigate in the Far East onto 2 aircraft carriers as a Chief Tiff ”neither sought nor wanted”. Then CinC’s technical staff before leaving in 1972 with 3 years Chief Tiff seniority, 10 years before Falkland’s. A tale of fun, mischief, avoidance, travel and peculiar adventure in a failed attempt to by-pass success.

The continuing story of a journey through the sixties in the Royal Navy. This part relates the "restful" period in HMS Collingwood as an underused instructor leading to equipment courses for a move to an Aircraft Carrier as the Head Honcho. This then to the Carrier, HMS Victorious serving in the Far East, bringing it home through 5 day war Mediteranean to Portsmouth for refit. Whilst in refit it caught fire causing the trauma of a death and smoke inhalation injuries to make it a memorable refit. The ship was scrapped after that and the crew were in a state of limbo until a move off the cripple could be arranged.An altogether distressing memory for all involved.

The authors wife has frequently reminded him that there is a sermon in everything! The parables of Jesus demonstrate clearly to us that spiritual truths can be readily communicated with the aid of everyday objects. Just as Jesus used real life situations such as sowing or lost coins, so the attempt is made here to draw spiritual lessons from objects met every day. The emphasis in this book is on familiar objects, such as will be met frequently in life. Thus while it is a good and valid technique to add visual material to a talk by means of a picture, a word or a series of letters, this is not done here. The emphasis is on the object and the message gleaned from that, rather than on an attempt to visualize the message.Those wanting inspiration for children's talks that will not bore them, or illustrations to liven up a sermon, will find a wealth of ideas here. No time-consuming making of pictures and posters, but just the use of ordinary objects, found in every home.
