Chasing sailors down Church Street

like a scene straight out of On The Town

now i understand your facebook update.

watched your tall ships vid btw.

Second from left has a bit of a Frank Sinatra cock-of-the-walk walk doesn't he?

Glad you watched one of the vids nige.

Hello Sailors!

I expect they had a good reception in L'pool.

Bet they're not swaggering - reckon they're landsick. :)
You could probably put them on the walzers for half an hour & they wouldn't get dizzy but after being at sea for a while, dry land squirms & rushes up to meet your feet. Very odd sensation...

(Those hats are quite something.)

something about this image that i keep coming back to. i really like it. i'm fav'ing it, in fact.

Thanks Nige. I don't think I've been fave'd before.

Hildegard, I take your point about landsickness but you still can't tell me these young men weren't feeling just a little bit full of themselves.

Love ths - first thought was the same as Sprocket, but also makes me think of that Margie Clark film - Letter to Breghnev?

Thanks JD. Another friend said exactly the same thing on Facebook (where it was my profile picture).

D'you know, I don't think I've ever seen Letter to Brezhnev.
