Please don't forget, the Galley needs the old oil for making the Special Chips for the Injuneers.

Lena Zamboni is a grand wee singer and is worthy to retain all her oil. I will eat oven chips.

Teetotalism is for the little people, but I must say that Black Bush is not travelling as well as it used to. I propose butterworthing the Port Inner BB Tank and filling it with Jameson or if there is a vote for hot whiskey, Powers. All those in favour?

You are sadly mistaken if you think that the administration of the Black Bush tank is administered by a democracy. Please refer to post #4650 --- all things Black Bush are administered by Tmac.

I had a stash of Coke Zero which I thought would be safe and, foolishly, left it lying around.
BUT ....................... its gone.

Mr Varley ofttimes sips Pepsi and claims he is Zero Coke.

Whiskey or whisky in whatever phase is the sauce of the devil. I have to admit that when in direst snivel mode I have kept a jug half coffee, half devildew on the hot plate to sip throughout the day. Like all medicine it must be disgusting to work properly.

If by hot you include curried then I add to my admission that I have not sampled such an attempt to make this cabinet restorers' beverage palatable.

When post Butterworth inspecting of the tank please pay particular attention to the bulkhead common with the Port tank. What a terrible waste of port to have any contamination. Perhaps installation of three or five valve separation could be included in the next DD spec? I take it the tank is SS? Can't rely on coatings for protection when the contents is engineered for the removal of same.

If we bunkered Fonseca rather than cooking sherry we wouldn't have any problems.
If our shipmates drank more port and less dark rum the ship would be a more pleasant workplace. And the general smell would be more officer like. Little wonder even the Kiwi wemen wouldn't stay overnight.

Is "Administered" a euphemism for drink/drank/drunk ?


As regards Irish Whiskey T and myself require no input from the deck wallah's or the Marconi Sahib / Batti Walla. Part Timers.

More? Well, I'll try but you'll have to keep her ballasted proper upright or I'll spill over.

Bosun can you please have the Storekeeper put a couple of Handy Billies in the Garden Pavilion in case Mr V topples over. I know it's an unusual request but BB, FJ and myself would have one hell off a job raising him to equilibrium. A most unedifying sight for the young and impressionable Barmen.

With all his remonstrations, methinks the dhobi wallah put too much starch in E S's tighty whiteys again.

Mr V has ears like scoppers. If he drinks too much it flows from his ears onto his shoulders. So, Yes keeping a good trim would be much appreciated.

Here you are, Varley; you can borrow my ear hair shaver - just put a new battery in it so should work well. Getting rid of all that protruding hursuitery should help you hear better.

You can also use it on your nostril hair which would make you smell better.

Extracting the Urine from Radio officers is frowned upon aboard here ES I actualy found Mr Varley to be a splendid Gentleman...He only drinks and Smokes the very best. Sign of good Manx breeding I am told.

And there was me thinking that our highly esteemed Chief Sparks was practising generating enough smoke as an emergency back up to our communications equipment in case our morse key, SSB, VHF, flags, semaphore, aldis lamp, mirror, or pigeons all met with an unforeseen disaster.

Entering the Beagle Gulf -- Cox Peninsula 2 points on the starboard bow. Arriving Darwin in the morning. Starboard side tie to the Indo Pacific Marine Pier. Will need rat guards and shit chutes. For anyone vaguely interested there will be levee on the Monkey Island to welcome the pilot aboard.
