With what the hell does one wash the bedlinens to remove marmite smear? Following Sir William's knee saga with one of my own (only the starboard one, the port side being already knackered) I applied a warm butter and marmite poultice to it (well I couldn't hot-butter a knee could I?).

I still had to call Mandoc at 0145 to check how much ibuprofen I was allowed as the engine room's patent antikneeknock was as much use as capping a gauge cock with a lavatory brush.
