Re: eh?
 

That one was too much for me!

I am MAN, hear me SNORE!!:D

I love this
 

Rolling R´s - is it? Do remember I attended Gillespie´s High School in Edinburgh (Mc Pherson tartan - You like kilts).

Anyhow I love this ship. In 1950 she brought the Java Tiger closer to me. But it took another 20 yrs for the Tiger to find hunting grounds in Sweden and in 1974 finally I got caught.

The m/s Johan van Oldenbarnevelt, built 1930, 19.429 GRT, Stoomvaart Maatschappij Nederland, brought my beloved Tiger in security from Mr. Soekarto & the communists in Indonesia. I love that ship!

However she was sold to Greece in 1963 and renamed m/s Lakonia. Later same year she caught fire off Madeira and sunk with a loss of 128 persons. A tragedy.

But by then my Tiger was safe on shore since 13 yrs. I am so glad for that because otherwise I shouldn´t bother to learn Dutch and Indonesian.

So here is the unhappy ship that brought me happiness:

The Java Tiger - A Family Affaire
 

I guess I am the only one interested but ---

See:http://photos.yahoo.com/stellanbojerud

Select CELEBES album for a part of the Tiger´s family history.

To understand the story:

1) The Radja of Boni was the father of a o the Radja of Goa and Princess Batjé.

Batjé married Johan Claproth. One of their children was Ida.
Ida married Wim Claassen.

2) Frans Schreuder was a Sergeant-Major of the KNIL. His son Jos (father of my wife) married Letty Claassen - sister of Wim Claassen.

3) My wifes parents died in WW 2. She was adopted by her uncle Wim Claassen and his wife Ida neé Claproth and granddaughter of the Radja of Boni.

So in short the story tells us how my wifés grandfather Frans Schreuder took part in hunting down her (by adoption) mothers grandfather the Radja and the death of his son the Radja of Goa.

Stellan ...
 

Hi STELLAN,

I am interested!!! I'm just a little inundated with the many threads going on that I'm in (hold your tongue Marko :p ) plus all the catch-up of other things I do these days. I promise I want to give many of these threads their due attention from me. Right now my mind really isn't "absorbing" much and when that happens I tend to joke around in here.

I feel like I've gotten behind in school and fear I shall never catch up :eek:

I'm very interested in seeing your photos so will visit ... there are still photos in these threads, at the ends of pages that my old Dinosaur setup hasn't let meload to :(

Meanwhile ... this story of yours is VERY interesting! I thank you for posting all about it.

:cheers: Karmen

Re: Re: eh?
 

This one STILL works for me Keefy:D :cheers: :yappy:

Roaring and snoring
 

Tonight the Snoring Lion and the Roaring Tiger are going to a party. No, not going, I am driving. So there will be no:cheers: for me but for the Tiger.

As usual I will be able to bring my Tiger back again - with a little help of my friends:

Be a Lion
 

and protect yore Tiger? Yes ... good plan Stellan ... I'm sure you'd miss her ROARRRRRR :D

Re: Roaring and snoring
 

Stellan, as long as no-one "parks the tiger" in your vehicle all will be fine.

(Ask Salesman Bob the meaning of this phrase).:D

Re: Re: Roaring and snoring
 

I'm STILL waiting for Salesman Bob to explain the meaning of that phrase! :D

:p

Re: Re: Re: Roaring and snoring
 

Another way of saying the same thing is to cry Ruth. Or Herb. Or drive the big white bus. Or talk to the big telephone.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Roaring and snoring

...or, the Technicolour Yawn... :p

Laugh

You go girl...let 'em know who's boss..
(After all this is your thread..)

Subject: The real story of Genesis
"God, I have a problem."
"What's the problem, Eve?"
"I know that you created me and provided this
beautiful garden and all of
these wonderful animals, as well as that hilarious
snake, but I'm just not happy."
"And why is that, Eve?"
"God, I am lonely, and I'm sick to death of apples."

"Well, in that case, Eve, I have a solution. I shall
create a man for you."
"Man? What is that, God?"

"A flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie,
cheat and be vain; all
in all, he'll give you a hard time. But he'll be
bigger, faster and will like
to hunt and kill things. He will revel in childish
things like fighting and
kicking a ball about, but he won't be so smart that
he will not need your advice to think properly."

"Sounds great," says Eve, with ironically raised
eyebrows, "but what's the catch, God?"

"Well, you can have him on one condition."

"And what's that, God?"

"As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant and
self-admiring -- so you'll have to
let him believe that I made him first. And it will
have to be our little
secret. You know, woman to woman."
