Nor should polyprop of any colour or dimension be!
What do people take us for? We are not bogans or amateurs - we are all too old for that?

I just found out tonight that sporrans are made from goat hair -- I suppose that using a certain part of the goat would provide a natural comforter for what resides under the kilt??

:yawn:

Varley 1st April 2019 11:11

Indeed. Sheep hair might lead to impure thoughts.

billyboy 1st April 2019 12:47

Honolulu eh...Heard stories of the tanned maidens there. Pubes like 5amp fuse wire. (perhaps Mr Varley could confirn the amperage). My tab is open at the pool bar if anyones got a thirst.

Varley 1st April 2019 13:20

Current, Sir. Current. Amperage is a term, much like "pubic", unused by gentlemen with T3 (and those with T5 without T4). I will join you on the all weather sundeck bar where we can discuss how, precisely, I can obtain samples. Would we also be worried about breaking capacity? This I fear would be rather low without features to blow away or cool down the gases evolved during the interruption of a fault.

Farmer John 1st April 2019 13:55

Nicky-tams for the gentry are thin leather straps, not fuzzy bits of whammy.

Non-peasants.

What a relief, that spares our last 150 fathoms of cable laid manila from unauthorised alternative applications.

Me?? Thirsty??? Ia the Pope Catholic????? I'll be there soon, if not sooner !! :pint:

billyboy 3rd April 2019 05:22

Steward! Bottle of Four Bell's for Tom Please. He's on his way up.

Tom Alexander 3rd April 2019 06:15

Good evening, Sir William. Beautiful night, Eh? Here, I brought the humidor from the wheelhouse -- help yourself to a Havana. So in keeping with the Cuban theme, I'll have a double Cuba Libre, please steward. :pint: :pint:

Varley 3rd April 2019 09:57

I'd love to join you but that fuse wire problem is taking me into field days. Moistness seems to be a factor now. I have had a couple of Caymans recently (present from a friend holidaying there). Too large but the No.1 has a hint of something new and pleasant.

Farmer John 3rd April 2019 15:02

I'm with you Sir William, the Plaggies are bringing some snacks for us.

Fuse wire, eh? I could use my plug in tester. If I could find it.

Engine Serang 3rd April 2019 19:26

And poor Varley still believes a humidor is for tobacco products.

Tmac1720 3rd April 2019 19:32

Bill Clinton kept his somewhere moist as well but I never knew it was called a humidor. :chuckle:

There once was an expression "Ah! Leave it in to soak for awhile !! )

Had to be a cigar. :bounce_angel:

Varley 4th April 2019 10:33

I don't think it was a hint of THAT. But I am researching a further supply!

Farmer John 4th April 2019 16:07

Trimethylamine detector is going off again.

Varley 4th April 2019 16:20

Is that why ladies don't compete at flatulantial conflagration sports?

I suspect it is because they are a little more ladylike in mixed company. What they do in their own company is a closed book.

I scarcely think one (rather risky) pastime can be elevated to the level of sports.

Varley 4th April 2019 23:17

Why? What else do weight lifters do? - can't imagine they combine it with synchronised swimming. Is it like Army musicians - all have to play at least two instruments?

billyboy 5th April 2019 01:20

A wise old man gave me an advice for getting old....
1/ Never pass a toilet
2/ never waste an errection
3/ never trust a Fart.

Guess he may have had some valid points there eh!

Farmer John 5th April 2019 15:44

Wise words indeed, Sir William. They can be mixed slightly and still make sense.

Never trust an erection.
Never "pass" a fart.

That will have to do.

Farmer John 7th April 2019 22:39

That last lot of booze must have had a Micky Finn in it it, 2 days and we have all just started to wake up.

Damn, my watch has gone, and my radio. How is everyone else?

Steward, a magnum of champagne and a box of oranges please, let's take this steady.

Tom Alexander 8th April 2019 06:40

Farmer John -- may I join you for an eye opener from that order you just placed with the steward??

The ECDIS alarm shows we are on last approach to Honiara and the pilot boat is approaching on the starboard bow.

Please ensure he has the appropriate gift to be allowed to offer his services. Berth lined up within crawling distance (getting back to the ship) from 2 or 3 bars. Nothing fancy but apparently the beer is cold. :pint:

Varley 8th April 2019 10:27

Your watch has gone? Why on earth didn't the 8-12 put you on the shake? We're all right thanks but you'll not see any of that Champagne, I'm afraid.

(What's the orange box for? Is the pilot particularly short?)
