Might the Algebra suggest that the imported rum suffers a lack of similarity in volume or Proof to that of the hooch?
(The introduction of the Aldi constant might also tell us something of the import method. Here, 6 bottles or more of fizz is 'delivery included' - no shortages have as yet been detected in volume or Proof, after several academic exercises in the gathering of the required data). Perhaps Aldi would do bunkers?

The Pinot Noir has a Cetane Value of 48. The main engine can run on it but the Chief can't. Bunker 600 tonnes and get a free Ottoman to keep your dirty boiler suits, or dungareens. We don't go a bomb on fizz, it gasses up the fuel pumps something terrible and causes Tmac to run around the top plates like a half-wit. Puts one off ones breakfast.

[QUOTE=Engine Serang;23908]4 cases of white rum (WR) = 3 goats (3G)
3 cases of local rum (LR) = 3 goats (3G) By a mathematicchal process known as calcullas or trigonometry we can prove; 4 WR = 3 LR Unless you shop in Aldi. And on that bombshell i'll head off to meet Capt Morgan. Obviously an Injuneer wot understand liquefaction or how many pints you can get to the gallon  We don't have Aldi in Norn Iron would Lidl do instead

I think it is important to consider that rum obtained from a numerically named two dimensional cutout from a ship with no real history, just back from a trip to Somewhere Clandestine may not be equivalent to rum obtained from a purveyor and purchaser of goats and other animals (for personal use only, not guaranteed of Comestible Quality).
I know that Cutouts No4's rum was good, I had just bottled it myself after relieving it's alchoholic head ache with a well earned drink of water. The rum he obtained by trade and sold to me for 3 bars of soap and two packs of cards has been used to remove varnish from the Teak fitments round the main deck. It came in a large carboy labelled "Ronsons". Mathematics is not always as easy as it seems.

Are you sure that was not Glen Ronsons or MacRonsonsmorange. I cannot imagine what anyone would do else with that Scottish stuff than remove varnish. It is certainly no good for 'Irish' coffee or for hosing down goats.

Every post that contains support for positive (remoaning poor) Brexit will be followed by one defending negative (remoaning rich) Brexit.

Possible hurricane forming in the Gulf of Mexico. Should we perhaps take a lazy cruise over to the Canaries while we cogitate on our next venture? Oh! Wait a minute -- chap by the name of Rasputin, chum of the "Donald" wants passage in complete secrecy to St. Petersburg. Has a suitcase full of pieces of eight with which to pay his passage. Will be dressed as a spy so no one will notice him. Russians always did have a bit of flare for the dramatic ??

I rarely have a proper breakfast. Mug coffee. Crap. Muesli with added bran and skimmed milk. Pills (NOT Pils!) followed by a bacteria enriched probiotic light Yakult and then half a melon. Second coffee. On those rare occasions where the 'big' breakfast is done I still follow this formula earlier.
It's all downhill for the day after the bowel-grip has been downed. Unless it hasn't worked.

An extra greasy Ulster Fry is what you need. Maybe you'll even get round to testing the lawn mower wot I fixed
 Shipyard breakfast = 4 raw eggs, 1 large tot of Brandy in half a glass of cold milk then down it in one

Come on. That's no Hibernian dejeuner. Not a potato mentioned.
If the mower can't manage the croquet lawn then I'll be round with some jollop. You're obviously egg bounds. (I didn't know Jeeves 'did' for H&W plumbers, you'll be telling us next Mr. Wooster's Great Aunt Augusta did knocking up).

Full English for me please, Unless I am at home then its fruits followed by either corn flakes or porridge oats washed down with coffee. (only gets me an English when I go to Davao city which is rare) Ease the bowel load and clean teeth (dentures) and I am set for the day.

Orange Juice for everybody this morning. The Tropicana Locker was topped up overnight by the light of the dying embers of our wonderful bonfire on the Bridge Wing. TA will be a bit pissed-Off with the state of his teak decking, no amount of holystoning will remediate the devastation caused.
Mr Varleys Aunt Agatha would not be in favour of the shipyard breakfast but his Aunt Dahlia can down a brandy and raw egg with the best of them. I well remember back in '93 when she shared a social drink with H&W Welders football team, only herself and the goalkeeper were left standing when the Harbour Police raided the canteen the following lunchtime. Boots ran out of Solpadine. T, who was a tasty striker, was on I/V junior asprin for a week to get his vitals working again. Last edited by Engine Serang; 12th July 2019 at 06:06.

Wasn't that when she was 98? At 93 she was still living on an Antipode (usually playing hooker at weekends and regularly facing the Hakka). A Great aunt indeed.
