As if. Someone could get a smack in the chops for saying less.

If I say nothing at all, will I be obfosculated?

I've never been obfosculated.

Free speech is always welcome Farmer John provided you agree with the injuneers at all times otherwise you may find yourself disgruntled. :supercool:

There isn't much worse than having your gruntle removed by an irate injuneer.

I admire free speech but not on my ship.

Relax Skip your gruntle is not going to be removed, merely smacked, a lesser pleasure.

way too much disgruntalising going on. Smack?? thought that was a small fishing trawler...one of those in the mouth would hurt a lot for sure.

I think I'm gong to head out to do some "clubbing" (No - we're not sending out a press gang today!).

This looks like a good place to start.

Tom, count me in.

After all the grumbling on-board I'm all for a night ashore drinking Southern Comfort and Mint Juleps, listening to good music and chatting with a shipmate.
Lets give the buggers the slip, we will pretend to go ashore to read the draft and make a run for it, Farmer and Varley will never catch us up and Red 17 will still be in the shower.
We have all the time in the world ....................

If you are mixing Southern Comfort with Mint Juleps I would keep us to windward if you don't want us to meet up. One fart with that mixture and a dead dog with no nose could track you down.

Ah yes indeed Varley. The effluential gasses...powerful stuff that.
Personally I feel like a nice hotel bar and restaurant. Nice drinkies with pleasant music followed by an excellent meal and a taxi back to the ship for a nightcap.

Then again....theres always this area.......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paVQpI22H2Q

And Red17's still in the shower trying to scrub that oul red dust from the Nullabor Plain out of her pores. The Evaps are straining to keep up with her consumption and Tmac is at the end of his tether.
Another Southern Comfort Tom? Indeed, and have a drink as well. BTW why are you wearing a Russian Nerve Gas respirator?

Too many aged flatulators around my guess ES

Red on the Nullarbor!
She certainly wasn't at Mundrabilla when I was there. I am sure that I would have noticed.
If she had been, however, her shower time would have been severely limited as we only had a 10,000 gallon water gin (tank wagon) of water.:jester:

See post #2963 :jump::jump:

Phewaaar....thats a bit of a Nasal invasion...someone Let go aft?

Let go aft, aye aye sir.
Christ our aft end has swung into the channel, small gas tanker bearing down on us. Rauchen ist Verboten. Merde.

Hmmmmm...fluent in German and French....have to keep an eye on him. No wonder he always gets the best chicks ashore.

I don't care what language the effluent is in -- please pass it down the injun room vents so Tmac can bottle it for use in our CNG plant. :shock:

"Best chicks ashore", oh so 50's. Cool it daddy-oh.
Billyboy has a gramaphone record of the Lonnie Donegan Skiffle Group in his cabin and you can groove to it whilst Tmac and me have a quick run ashore.
Chicks indeed.

Red 17 isn't a Chick she's a full blown Shelia, and wouldn't have it any other way. She can come ashore with Tmac and me, if she'ed get out of the bloody shower.

What... you go ashore without me?
Hmmmm i am going to sulk now...maybe even pout a bit.
Good I have a private stash of booze in my cabin.
Going to listen to my LP's from the 50's and 60's

I don't know if I comply E-S. Mine doesn't smoke but it does steam a bit.

(And don't you dare knock off the unsanitary extraction fan while I am 'at stool'. The cowl falls out on my head).

Sounds like you have alternative sanitary arrangements in your accomodation. OK -- you have a stool (Do you have a keeper of the stool? or do you empty it yourself?) And the head onto which the extraction fan cowl drops is either the one regularly installed with the flushing arrangement, or the one perched on your shoulders? Or both?? Then there's the foot washing arrangement with the "bidet" sign above it. The shower with the massaging feature is a nice additional touch as are the heat lamps. :supercool:

Nice set up. as long as you obey instructions. "all stools over 1 kilo to be lowered by hand. No anti splash gear fitted.

Ahhh, that was the best shower I have had in a long time, someone has increased the water pressure to my shower and it is just perfect. Stimulating for the scalp and for my body. So, ES and Tm where are we going, somewhere with soft lights, good music and great food and wine I hope. One does so enjoy a dignified night out.

ES, I have been meaning to ask you, how come someone who lives in Dublin knows so much about Australian parlance?
