| Summary/Abstract |
Since I now live in the Gulf, it was a happy coincidence that found me in Portsmouth on 16th July 2013 and therefore able to attend the Centenary Party; and what a splendid affairs it was. I must have taken much work to prepare and I'm sure members will join me in thanking everyone involved.

| Summary/Abstract |
I'm currently reading a wonderful book about the Battle of Trafalgar. Alright call me anchor faced if you will but don's forget that, as I look out my office window at an expanse of scrubby desert, I need something, a part from the tub of Atlantic sea salt on my desk, to reminder me that I am a seaman and not a Bedouin academic.

| Summary/Abstract |
There have been many figures, real and literary, who have maintained that there is no such thing as a coincidence. When, therefore, the last edition of NR did not arrive and the same was true for my work colleague, it seemed likely that there was a common explanation.

| Summary/Abstract |
I have just sold my house which, at a range of 4000 miles, is a complicated business. Not least of the challengers was the transfer of legal documents: whilst the contract could by dint of my emailed permission, be signed my solicitor, the transfer deed had to be signed personally by me. In this electronic age, the couriered exchange of documents just to facilitate my ballpoint scrawl in the corner seemed rather anachronistic.
