Tmac, you know we honour your competence and marvel at you sagaciousness and perspicacity. Your efficacity and erudition are bywords in every sleazy bar where dirty boiler suits are permitted.

Scaling the girth of the boiler suit against the crankweb deflection and taking into account the whiteness of aforementioned boiler suit I can only deduce the wearer is Mr. Varley.
ps Billy, have I won the Sweep you were running?

My girth was usually contained with a Sears tool belt. And does this look that white to you?:

I always thought a sailor boy should use Tide. Anyway back from the smoke, join me for a Cuban out on the all weather sun deck to go with a drop from the port port tank if remaining uncontaminated with Guinness or Hibernian Black paint stripper (aft of the funnel, of course).

According to the Azores on 22 Megs the local forecast is for a fine day with zephyrs. Where were my manners. I should have waited for the ladies to withdraw before suggesting a cigar.

A fine day with Zephyrs? Aren't they just a slidy front seat with a a column change? Not a style I admire, but not a common beast. Bags I the blue one.

Zephyrs - don't they have a red one?
Oh, it's in the workshop with some loose teeth in its box! Lucky that the teeth are still in the box they might come in handy sometime. Perhaps Tmac can fix it. Sadly, the yellow, green, white, black and the other two blue ones are also in the workshop with misaligned teeth. Just be careful on your excursion in the Zephyrs that your teeth do not get loose in the box enroute. Perhaps Tmac could do a test run for you if that blonde bird is available at the time.

YM-M, I was going to ask for the red one, but I felt asking for a red one might get me regarded askance by about 75% of the GD's crew. So I asked for the blue one.

No, no. Zephyr is a nautical terms to do with which way the smoke goes after it leaves the chimbley. Like Zodiac, the thing they point the ham bone at around noon.

I'll take the green one -- just like an old buddy of mine had -- 1959 - 6 cyl. engine with lots of "poop" for those days, "Three in the tree" for a gear change, standard steering and standard brakes.
Made for some memorable camping/pub crawling down to Hastings and Brighton to terrorise the local maidens.

Tom what sort of people did you mix with? Gentlemen or Ladies or Maidens would not Poop in anyone's car, how did you clean the mess and get rid of the smell? The casual way you introduced it makes it like a bit of a cult, was drink or drugs involved? I think it may be a bit of a fetish after sex, Hitler, it is said was a big fan. 1959 in Brighton, what a year. We hope you used a French Letter or Aspros from the top shelf as they were popularly known by.
Please ask your current crop of Tarts not to sh1t in the Smokeroom or bilges but to use the Lavvies or crap on deck. BB are you sure our old shipmate is officer material??? Last edited by Engine Serang; 25th March 2019 at 07:09. Reason: Terrible smell.
