What do Captain Kirk and toilet paper have in common? They both eliminate Klingons! Rgds. Dave |
I’ll give it a day or two…

Someone has suggested that Norway, Sweden and Denmark put bar codes on their ships…
When they enter port then they could…. Scan d’Navy in. |
The only bar code I understood was you can't stand at the bar unless you have a drink.

Clues?
What type of sword? What is Jean-Luc Picard saying? |
Claymore. The anti personnel mine has the same warning on it.

Shortly after a British Airways flight had
reached its cruising altitude, the captain announced: "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain. Welcome to Flight 293, non-stop from London Heathrow to Antigua. “The weather ahead is good, so we should have a uneventful flight. So, sit back, relax, and.........OH...MY GOD!" Silence followed....................... Some moments later, the captain came back on the intercom. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm sorry if I scared you. While I was talking to you, a flight attendant accidentally spilled coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!" From the back of the plane, an Irish passenger yelled....... “For the luvva Jaysus…..you should see the back of mine!" |

I have been browsing the user manual for my extending ladder.
Well, perhaps not a manual, more a step by step guide. |
Always attach your 5 point safety harness to the top rung of the ladder.
Just a little H&S advice. |
Well quite so, particularly if it is listing…
Or does that deserve a bullet? |

Somebody mentioned Boaty Macboatface.

Be careful Malcolm - That was devised by a design committee headed by Tom Vart and seconded by FG86!!!!!!
I am now donning my tin helmet and dropping into a shell crater! Rgds. Dave |
It's obviously an RAF IBTWL-GA-SM

Is it smooth bore or rifled? Gotcha! |
Neither.
It is grease lubricated. Perhaps my second name is Schmidt but, on reflection, it is more likely to be Schultz. |
Their real, not so much fun, names are:
ZP801 – Pride of Moray ZP802 – City of Elgin ZP803 – Terence Bulloch DSO DFC ZP804 – Spirit of Reykjavík ZP805 – Fulmar ZP806 – Guernsey's Reply ZP807 – William Barker VC |
RAF humour can be somewhat unconventional. A Shackleton based at Changi in 1970/1971and the subject of an Airfix kit, was decorated so that to any interested observer it was flying on behalf of "White Knuckle Airlines."

Pa (RN for the war) was fond of telling us that the RAF always had the best nicknames. His favourite was for army types, "Brown jobs". Another I heard from a AAIB presentation "Mechanical palm trees" - helicopters.

After leaving the Sea I worked as an HGV driver.
One day I had a delivery note with just [Evans - Caerphilly] on it, so phoned the Transport Office from a phone box (remember those?) for a proper address. "Have you tried looking them up in the phone directory?" said the wise traffic clerk! Remembering I had once been at sea I replied: "**** OFF - have you seen how many pages of Evans there are in the Caerphilly Directory?" On another occasion, I was in the said Office when an agency driver phoned in about 2 hours after he should have completed his delivery. "I'm in Wales" he said "I can't find this Tunbridge place anywhere." |

Many years ago a Solicitor aquaintance introduced me to the sedimentary filing system.
This is quite neat in comparison. |
