CaptainSatan Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 It's 11:18PM Texas Republic Time It pleases me that this dark day is almost over. It was today (July 31st) in 1970 that the British navy discontinued it's daily rum ration. As we say in Ireland let's drink until the alcohol in our system destroys our liver and kills us.

Calico Jack Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Strangely, the Canadian Navy did not discontinue the tot until 30 March, 1972. We have the very last tot in our museum in Halifax. A sad, sad day, I'm sure. http://archives.cbc.ca/war_conflict/veterans/clips/13232/
