Sometimes, not often. even I am amazed by my injuneering brilliance and being wot I is 'umble I wouldn't hold my breath until any of you deckie type heathens would say that.
 It is wonderful what an injuneer can do with a bit of Gorilla glue, chockfast and sticky tape adhering to the KISS principle (keep it simple stupid)

Sudden onset gloom and plumbers.
The defence rests. Were the gennies to have been double acting I think we would not have had time to bait our breath before the lights went out (save for the pretty little red ones on the mimic panel). (I have seen pictures of a crankshaft 'repair' on a converted livestock carrier, large LS 2 stroke. One plate 'wrapped' round the two webs on either side of the broken pin. I think they made two round trips ME/Australia before the Australians asked them to go away).

I was almost Australian. Pa's CO in MTBs asked him to go to be his C/E in transport company. I understand that that company was quite successful, perhaps 'done bonza' in the Dampier tourist booklet? (still to pulp its maiden print run). I think Granpapa did some tarmacadaming for them too (courtesy of the Neuchatel Bituminous Rock Company).
(Sorry YM but there are parts of HM's Realms that lend themselves to not only the cork dangled headdress but also the precancelled visa. I am sure that place must have seen for itself when it came to asphalt).

I totally agree with the findings of our survey, it was costly but bloody good value for money. Finding No.1, that we continue to employ OZ and NZ is heartily endorsed especially the bit about strict quotas. No more than 2 per ship one of which must be of the fairer sex. Equal opportunities is us.
Uniform shall be "Relaxed Rig", but no corky hats, drinking beer from tins or bottles or dirty nails in the refectory. QM ring "Stand By", and a speedy passage to Luzon to pick up a cargo of bricks for the Grand City Hall in New York.

Wha.....If we are headed to Luzon might as well call in at Davao. Masks and face shields still required there though so will have to drink through a straw.

Have we loaded too many bricks in Luzon and that this is all that now remains of the GD?

I am not sure we can have 'relaxed rig' if we are to enjoy strict interpersonal exercise. Surely we want 'dressed to the nines'. St.Trinians, ringmistress (lady with whip not would be proctologists) and for those who were disappointed by my last suggestion, starchy Matron (may also suit any who miss proper school - one up on Mundrabilla apparently).

After many months of taking the mickey out of YM about all the venomous things in Australia blow me away if it was not confirmed on the news yesterday that Ireland is full of Noble False Widow Spiders. These small black critters have a strong bite and this can be extremely painful and in many cases requires hospital treatment. Apparently they have come from the Canaries and sneaked in when St Patrick wasn't paying attention. With a touch of humility I'm asking YM to advise on how to manage these little feckers. Cheers me neighbour.

As an interested arachnologist, I can assure you that they only bite under extreme provocation, their bite is like a wasp sting and they have been in this country for many decades. London educational thinking was that if one was found in or near a school, the school should close for fumigation. When it was shown that this unnecessary, ineffective and completely pointless, the spiders were left alone. This is very effective, but the rag top papers like to have a story sometimes.
Shame on you ES.

It would appear that most docile Irish people are bitten whilst asleep in bed or when they pull on a garment upon getting-up, any antidote for that FJ? I can borrow a small Glock from a lad down the pub to get rid of the rabies and vermin ridden foxes but I cant waste bullets on spiders and the skirting boards could suffer. Can they be encouraged to go outside? Last edited by Engine Serang; 28th May 2021 at 20:07. Reason: Spelling and gramer.

Help me YM. I'm being attacked by the RSPCA, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Arachnids.
And Varley has encountered some as big as an elephant.
