Along with the oil was shampoo. I used it for the first time yesterday. I fail to understand why anyone choosing to wear a beard would also choose to be followed by an aroma reminiscent of the scent locker on the plasticos' deck.

(You may be right about the oil I haven't seen the hens for at least five days and was beginning to think they made someone's new year soup. I am, however, told they remain happily 'about').

If your hens move away and the Plasticos start to gather, I should do some hard thinking and make a decision.

Our time at your castle is about up, they say guests and fish start to smell after 3 days, well, we ate all the kippers and don't want to confuse your olfactory appendages any further. Time for us to set sail. I think a trip to Cuba would interest Tmac and Varley can stock up his humidor.

What a compliment. You did not notice that the howling draught allowed by the Crittall windthroughs kept any thoughts of fish smells (but not, it seems those of tarty beard shampoo) or that from farting brought on by celebrating Slaughter of the Innocence day fortnight unwisely, but well.

You will be welcome again next year, which should be time enough for staff to sneak the empties small piece by small piece into the bins without raising the ire of the dustmen (V important types - get welding and classic car instruction). I have to say that whoever used two plasticos to put the billiard table on an even keel should be ashamed of themselves they are quite creased - the way she is done here is simply to wait until the heave of the subsidence veers more favourably.

And whoever left one of those in the mini bar. Those are ice buckets. The other would be found in the wee cupboard on the opposite side of the bed.

A return invite, and not an angry parent in sight!

The bucket thing, well for some of the crew any port in a storm.

Incidentally, did we order this weather? My Barograph is creaking under the strain of the pen on the plinth.

My little French number is out calibration and has several times in the last month bottomed out - at least I hope it is out of calibration otherwise we may need oxygen masks. That's where it was earlier today but as I toddle off to bed it has just crept up onto to the paper.

How else does one get a sample for the 'post a turdlet to the doctor' ceremony we hold every two years (actually I prefer an ice bridge in the pan that can be left to melt and drop its load more or less normally with only a short delay).

I always wondered why the Chief's dress uniform did not have purple braid and why he bothered with a badge of rank on his boiler suit and sometimes even at the swimming pool. Can we think of cleaning and refilling that more often do you suppose. As in every time the Chief goes for a dip?

OK, I think we could go to a once every 5 years cycle on that with no real problems. Our Tmac is more of a watcher than a washer.

See his last message, lick a finger and stick it out of the window. Enough for him.

They must be terribly careful in Melbourne. Our paint dingy has to request free pratique. If that is Tmac on the loose I have to say he should be careful, does anyone know if a claim to be healthy includes mental health?

We were going to come back for him soon, honest. The batteries on his VR set would have run out.



Who drilled that hole in his float, we will never know.

Where's the scorched grass?
Where's the big hailstones?
Where's the smog and orange sun?
Where's the singed koala bears?
Where's the venomous, very venomous and tip-top venomous snakes?
Where's the assassinated camels?
Where's the box jellyfish?
Where's the blue ringed octopus?
Where's the man-eating great white sharks?(Circling the punt)

These are not Australian waters as we know them, its a Fake.
Could it be Ramsey Harbour? The paddler looks non too bright so I may be on a winner. Crooked Mona where the sharks circle you once you put a foot ashore.

I still don't think one would be asking for free pratique if paddling from Maughold to Ramsey.

One could be quite sanguine about the sharks however. For the moment we only have the ones that holiday here and prefer to just bask (if ignore the House of Keys, of course).

(More later perhaps I have to take a limp pussy to the vet).

Pussy bitten on paw. GBP 80 odd. Pussy still limp but vet say it will get better. Probably.

Canaries and pussy in the cattery. A one yum game.

I saw that they had fitted a tiger with a prosthetic paw, which then fell of in about 30 seconds. Not your pussy, Varley?

Aren't we doing well, not a single comment about pussy in anything other than a feline context. I may have just spoilt this.

Cosy filth is not to our liking, we're hard core. We've been to Exhibitions in Port Said.

Suggest you discuss with Mrs Slocum. (Or Mr Humphries if the rumours are true!)

We are about 2 days out of Havana, hoping to top up the spares for some of our Masheenery and also to complete the little job we discussed, if you remember.

I'll join you for full English with coffee pot and a large tot, just hold the full English and the coffee, and make the large tot into a larger tot, please stewart.

Are all our spirits Vegan?
Tmax wants to know as he is a supporter of Veganuary but draws the line at Vaginary. Vmax will eat animal products but nothing containing cats. The upcoming Chinese New Year is going to be a hungry time for both.
Good to have you back BB, or Bmax, things have gotten very P&O'ish in the Pilot House with Smoko consisting of Skinny Latte and Cappuccino's and wee burnt biccies not worth the trouble of wrestling with to remove the cellophane. What's up with a mug of Typhoo, after all they put the T in Teabag, in Scunthorpe I believe.
