Lost in the mists of the Dollytub and Copper, if E-S can tell me what was found in the underside of the bedside table after some 60 years, Granny, I thought you had gone.

It was a pilot episode some time ago but all the characters were a bit wet. Never really got up a good head of steam.

Your rats ate the cherry and the pink fondant icing and the wee silver balls and the toasted almonds and the cakey body of the bun and to finish the aluminium foil cups. Still counting my fingers. Angst galore.

Stop moaning. They left the hundreds and thousands for you to lick of the table didn't they? (But miss the little black ones, they might have been left by the long-tailed fellas).

Shallow? Moi?

I never even knew we still had two of those twirly thingamabobs down the blunt end. I was using a big pump stuck on the end of a pipe to push us along. As far as I can recall we flogged the brass whirly things to a Gypsy type person to cover Sir Williams bar bill.

ydnour, ydnour is what comes from the washing machines. Eek squeeks (or is it Squeek that eeks?) every time the Port shaft makes one revolution. If he's tied to it face up one can hear it clearly by the bridge wing lookout on that side. When we get another cadet the revolvometer for the Stbd shaft will be repaired too.

Did you send a polite note to Tmac requesting the movement you mention? I am sure he would have complied if you signed it.

Hear that readers?...Peace and quiet runs through the ship. Must be getting close to that time of year again. No clanking of wrenches, no raised voices, no clinking of glasses......
DANG...forgot to remove my ear plugs!

Peace on earth and goodwill to all men was popular until Tmac got his Chiefs and Vmac began wearing a boilersuit.

Is this why we get sudden acceleration when we meet a shoal of Mackerel, followed by massive clouds of birds in our wake?

We do have some time to go before seasonal festivities, Sir William. Can we pick up a few coasting jobs as we move up the coasts, just some small tasks to pay for the heavy toll unwanted gifts always take. Mink lined knickers cost a fortune now, you know. Perhaps we should have a chat.

"Ask nicely?". If you don't stand-us one do we not thirst?

You will, anyway, have to cross my palm with gold francs but seeing as it's business I will knock off the ship tax.

Anyone got any ports for a quick call? We will be picking up a consignment of Fisherperson's Acquaintance, a mild violet flavoured dragee. Dartskipper, can we aim for Eastbourne, we can collect from there, we are taking this to several ports on our way North.

Varley, thank you for your help with this, a crate of Cointreau is in your cabin. I know how you love that whiff of Sugar Beet.

Anything consumed on the GD has no medical effect, that's stated in the articles. How could it be otherwise?

Try Bisto, it browns and thickens all in one.

Ah ES!! now THAT explains why you were moving so quickly around the injun room. I had, wrongly it appears, assumed you had forgotten the parable of the old bull and the young bull

Isn't it usually brown already? Cornflower or arrowroot would be less invasive. Making it browner as well might result in the stool being of a Robertson's Gollihue and causing Sister some alarm.

Did you eat something that week? That can cause it.

Scatalogical themes need to have some element of entertainment, at least try to do this and I don't mean just go through the motions.
