We have been warned elsewhere about the difference between fluid phases and the efficacy of non-Artex underwear in place of a cyclone separator. Don't play with matches.

Sir William, leave a bucket out, we will all chip (?) in for your lost specimen.

Do they do a pregnancy test on it?

That might show up different specific gravities depending on who has imbibed the most alcoholic beverage. Could give the game away. Other than that it could be recycled through the lager dispensing apparatus, nobody would notice the difference, it looks like p and tastes like p anyway.

If we are very careful, could we get a layered effect? A little food colouring judiciously added after each addition, it could look quite pretty. Me first, baggsey the green.

A sort of tequila sunrise without the sunrise, or the tequila.

A sliver of lime on the rim of the bucket and it would look like Corona?

A couple of shovels of lime might help.

We shouldn't let any weed grow under our keel, so suggest we take off for Melbourne (weather nice there at the moment, then Freemantle, and then around the top to Darwin. Of course we could gather on the pool deck to discuss our itinerary over a glass or two.

Almost certainly above design ambient temperature - you will have to run your bollocks de-rated. Why on earth do you leave the steam on your underwear if the temperature is that high?

Getting ready for Brexit, perhaps, and returning to 'imperial' units of measurement?

Which is why I suggested Melbourne ----- we could be in Churchill up in Hudson's Bay where the current temp is MINUS 35 C (MINUS 51 C with the wind chill factor.) Take your pick!!

Lucky that Chief doesn't have any brass monkeys in his gang. Things would be dropping off all over the injun shack.

I'll have you scurvy lot know that Jock Strap was my journeyman injuneer in Harland and Bluff, taught me everything he knew but feck all about injuneering

Squeek is highly qualified in brazing so the danger of low temperatures on the bollocks are negated and in any case mine are safely protected by a weather proof and insulated bag.... her name is Tatty Oldbit, the sailors friend.

Us injuneers seldom leave our superheated domain where we abide sans clothes, saves a fortune in employing a dhobi wallah and FYI my nether garments produce a frequent and rather satisfying pharrrrrrrt, pharrrrrrrt, pharrrrrrrt sound accompanied on occasion by a rather watery crescendo

I am not sure which speciality you need to consult. If you do not have plumbers-lug then you certainly need to have the nose seen to.

I believe we are all aware that the cast iron cannon balls mounted on the triangular brass "monkey" on the deck would, with exposure to freezing temperatures, due to the difference in their thermal coefficient of expansion/contraction roll off the brass monkey. Hence the term "Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey".

The term "Cold enough to freeze the nuts off an iron bridge", however, is a completely different kettle of fish.

There are no fish in my kettle. I used a highly efficient descaler.
