Only because I have been out up north and had two bottle of fizz and good grub. Thanks for the thought. If we won can we form a cabinet?

Only if it's a metal one.... injuneers aren't that good with wood :smoking:

I have it on good authority Theresa asked you if you had a bigger shovel available.:jester:

found a new mug for Mr Varley....just to serve as a reminder like...LOL

I see the Zamboni is working in #1 hold -- could it be that we are hosting game 6 of Lord Stanley's finals?? Either that or we are having an impromptu game of interdepartmental shinny? (Why did they stop the lepers hockey game? -------There was a face off in the corner !!) OK - PC incorrect I know -- 20 lashes with a wet noodle.

I think it is time we had another garden party. Farmer John -- I assume the plasticos have the stainless bar all polished up and ready to go??

As you know Tom, all my equipment is in good working order and endlessly buffed and tweaked. And the bar is fine. We couldn't have a better time for a garden party, all the plants are growing robustly and provide deep cover for... Anything you feel should be covered, or even coyly peeping over some foliage.

A Garden party......How nice. Great to socialise in the open air in an interdepartmental evening. Nice cool breeze to waft the Pharts away.

Mr and Mrs Phart are not invited, last time they brought their cousins, the Unfortunate-Followthroughs. Hung around for ages as well.

lets make it a lamp swinging evening. lets hear all the yarns.

Peeping over some foliage could be very interesting -- but also stupid!

I hope that that is a Mr. Volt and Ms. Ampere or vice versa. If it's the other vice I don't think we want to encourage that sort of thing on GD!

I find the family Phart are related to the Often-Buttinskies. Seldom invited always turning up. When they're in the mood 'though, they can be quite a gas. It's the Phart-Browns that always leave a nasty taste.

it may not be in their Capacity to resist the charge Varley.

That's shocking Sire, those poor people might just have their wires crossed.

remember once someone threw me a Capcitor and like a fool i caught it....OUCH!

a capacitor from a distributor held with tw pairs ao pliers whie engine runnng will charge itswelf. you can hold either end and no problem. But catch one and you get both ends....Wham! I never forgot that. (and managed to catch a few folk out with it myself later in life)

I couldn't resist having a gigajoule at that while I was driving ohm. :bounce_angel:

Tom, get back in the car, it's not safe with the bonnet up at 60.

What?...He's 60? thought he was younger than that. He's only 15 years behind me!

Why would a Jap get a stronger shock from one of these unfriendly tricks?

Because they're very into High Q

reckon some of the sparkies could tell a tale or two of tricks they had played at sea Varley. shocking as they may be ha ha.

It was a dark and a stormy night, and the Captain turned to the Sparks and said "Tell us a tale!". So the Sparks began....

PARTY TIME on the helo deck....

Normally a bring and braai back aft.. this one's on me.. (er.. our fearless leader... just don't tell him)...

Celebrating the Lads winning the Stanley Cup last night... beverage of choice .. Ahrn...

Oo Err!...spooky....please continue.

Hello fellow crew members of the GD. You may have noticed that I have not posted for a little while? That doesn't mean that I have not been checking in occasionally to see what damage was being done and what naughtiness was being discussed. I have needed the humour and I always get a chuckle out of what you 'boys' are getting up to. Was it like this when you were at sea?

Anyway, the garden party. If you need a hand with anything Farmer John I am ready, willing and able. I take it that you have secured the mules, remember the debacle last time. Hopefully Pats chickens are not part of the menu nor my lambs????:eat_arrow:

Question; This has nothing to do with this thread but I wondered if any of you knew crew members of HMS Cassandra in the early 60's.

One dark and stormy night, three smugglers sat in a cave,
Tell us a story, Bill, said one, and so the tale began----
