Ah ... you're possibly thinking of Ricky R, Graham. Yep, like you, he's one of our Trusted Members ... though he hasn't been active on the forum for some considerable time.

Indeed, if I remember correctly, :icon_rolleyes: he and his wife (whom, I believe, also worked on cruise liners) had been planning to settle in Australia.
