maybe if you mixed it with Gripetini and white gloss Varley it might just be palatable.

Pardon Varley ? You don't mean off my back? Heaven forbid that I would waste a good port as a back rub and I don't think Tom would either!

Well Red we do't have to worry -- just follow the instructions -- I believe if you look closely the label on the Port definitely says "For Internal Use Only!" For your back, maybe some essential oils and some hot rocks applied as well?? Here are some hot towels with which to refresh yourself first?

I vaguely remember her signing that for me when I was a young lad of 14.

Bulkhead phone:Steward! bring down 2 clean glasses please. (dont like sucking black bush from the pipe. besides it makes Varleys beard go curly)
Dead slow ahead please. Cut outs -- please pour the pilot over the side -- be courteous now and attach a life line until he is safely esconced in the pilot boat. (That must have been a good going away party -- he's still singing something about Hitler having only one ball.

Safely off?? Engine room Green button please. (For newcomers to the crew , that means "Full Away".

Do you think I haven't tried? Bloody expensive being only able to enjoy Fizz. Was on the Krombacher alcohol free last night, taste's almost OK but diuretic effect would embarrass an Arkle.

Bridge!...Allok down here Tom, purring like kittens they are.
Black bush is ok now I got used to it.
Be up for a Tot later when Varley relieves me (been relieving himself well after last nights binge)

How about 'Three Old Ladies' the last verse of which is;

The last ones name was Elizabeth Carter
She was known as a world renowned farter
She went in a played a sonata
And nobody knew she was there.

Chorus.
Oh, dear, what can the matter be
Three old ladies locked in the lavatory
They were there from Monday to Saturday
Nobody knew they were there.

The hot towels are lovely, thanks Tom. The essential oils sound wonderful but I am not to sure about the 'other'?

Please read me some more Louisa May Alcott, I am starting to feel nice and relaxed, who needs Valium?

It's only me that's lost the sense of smell! Unless there's a force 5 sending it down wind I think that the others'll notice well enough. Just possible I will as well.

Just get the Captain to ring down Emergency Full Ahead, (I think that's two pushes of the big Green button,) and we will leave any whiffy niffs far astern.

They were going for tea
With the wife of the vicar,
They went in together
because it was quicker
But they didn't know that the lock was a sticker
A nobody knew they were there.

OK, lets see now. the overboard discharge can be linked to the sceptic tank, close the feed valve, open vent valve and activate pump......at 25 knots and with the wind ahead of us all should safetly drift astern of us.
Now that nice white plastic Gin palace that we passed a few moments back will think its just a foul weather phenomenon.

Never heard that one before Farmer John. I thought that you would have stimulated more response to gathering ditties. My party piece used to be The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly. Learnt it when I was in a primary school choir, under eights, and I have never forgotten the words. How sad is that! Taking up much needed brain space.
