I think the boys in blue would deem driving while doing that unsafe. Worthy of note in acrobatic circles, no doubt, but certainly unsafe nonetheless.

Don't need to drive, competency in mushing will suffice.

shifter
Charming! ... nipped down the Engine room to check on things and got smacked in the mouth with a shifter thrown by Squeak. Must get Tmac to have a word with that Rat.

Where is our old china, Tmax? His weeks leave has stretched to months and the two rats are missing him. They are off their food and doing No 2's in the shaft alley, what next? I have a sneeking feeling he was moonlighting in H&W on the ill-fated liner Odyssey.
I, and many others, eagerly await the whole story breaking, as it surely will. Last edited by Engine Serang; 6th October 2024 at 14:08.

Hope that he hasn't been 'frozen' as one of the assets at H and W.
His MBE must be worth something. Wish that I had one but closest that I ever came was driving my big boss to Government House to get an OBE about 100 years ago..

Absolutely Malcolm.
Just proves the dangers of acronyms! Two others come to mind:

Isn't that typical of our antipodean cousins, the only thing that's keeping youse within the Realm is the hope that Him Belong Mrs Parker-Bowles will give one a gong of some sort.

We need the GD and your crews expertese down here. The NZ Navy's Manawanui research ship has hit a reef in Samoa and sunk!
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/...nken-manawanui https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/...cid=newsletter We need to pump it full of ping pong balls and get it refloated from 150 metres down! Anyone up for a bit of South Seas Salvage? I hear that HMS Tamar is on patrol there keeping people away from the wreck site, so, if you have RN contacts and mates in the Dutch salvage business, all the better. Free salt water and all the LFO you can drink! Apply Within.

For the Officer Commanding, the OOW and the MEO it's squeeky bum time.
The environmental gobshites will start shouting about damage to the reef. If they haven't started already.

I hear Varley has been taking swimming lessons, why don't we send him down there to have a look he has bought a pair of woollen trunks that will help him sink.

A lady driver? I didn't realise it was a parallel parking issue. I'll have to check our ECDIS to see if it's software has the 'reef parking' upgrade implemented.
And, budget woolly-snugglers or not, Mrs.V's hyper little boy doesn't do anything barbaric. (Not that I can talk. I reversed into a wall on my first test. On my second and last I failed because I used the mirror too much. It was acknowledged that this was an unusual trip-up but that one "must look out of the front occasionally"!)

Don't worry David!
Here in Victoria one is not required to look where one is going - all that you have to do is just watch the speedo.

careful what you wish for guys. This ship is equipped with all the necessary for salvage and towing, also with submerging ability (providing all port holes and watertight doors are closed) and as our long term readers will know we have performed such tasks in the past.
The absence of John Brigs, Dom and jim Barnes means things would not be so easy but, still doable.
