I have liberated him from life in dark, smelly, moist crevasses and was expecting a BZ.

Wandering about the injun room waving a pair of mole grips doesn't count, and in any case there aren't any moles in the injun room.

So no redundancy payment for long and meritorious service 'wandering about the injun room waving a pair of mole grips'.
Not so sure about 'no moles in the injun room' - somebody is obviously leaking 'wandering about the injun room waving a pair of mole grips'. indeed

Someone left his "King Dick" collection lying around, was he deserting to Mole Grips?

Is that Footprints in the corner? Or just a bendy Chinese copy? Or maybe it's my eyes and it's somebody's footprints.
If they are real then they're mine! Don't care who dropped them, they're mine.

Always open the lid of a 5 gallon tin of Vegemite or Vegewont using the tang of a big bastard file. The Aussies do and all of them have high carbon steel shrapnel in their brain causing most of them to think they can waltz. At the Billabong.

Story in this mornings Daily Mail:

"Tourists watch in amazement as a cheeky kangaroo breaks into their Australian holiday home and helps himself to a jar of Vegemite and a packet of crisps"

One wonders if the cheeky beast is Mr YM in disguise?

Could be. I hear Tmac say he was watching him hopping around the engine room.

Who told Tmac?

I have long suspected that there is a mole in the ER. Clearly there is a leak from somewhere down here as to my activities. Do we have anyone named Schmidt on board? This leak is quite apart from the one causing water to slosh around (outside) the boilers.

As for hopping around, I am merely avoiding the mole droppings amongst the clinker.

Perhaps I have overdone the Vegemite but one must keep up one's salt levels in the valiant hope of a getting a few 40° + C days down here (in Oz). So far only one day this summer. How about a couple of weeks in Port Hedland BB?

still swinging round the hook awaiting orders. All keep your ears open for a call over the radio from the agent while I am buzy doing chat corrections.

I'll drop around for a chat this afternoon, I enjoy our little tete a tetes or "tête-à-tête" as the Germans call it. But I'll leave immediately if you start talking about joining the Friends of Bill W. No place for extremism in my vocabulary.

As for Port Headland...... hardly Las Vegas, more like Ramsey on a warm day and with iron ore dust under your foreskin. Avoid ay all costs.

Helmet abrasives? Nothing done like that in Ramsey and we don't want you importing any of your jaded Hibernian practices here thank you - we are still dealing with a glut of neatly cubed plastic chop sticks. Dampier could do with something to raise its aesthetic, try there.

Greetings crew type persons, it is I the Injuneer wot is here.

First of all my apologies for being a tad remiss in attending to my duties as alas I have been otherwise occupied dealing with an abundance of crap I neither wanted or asked for but I know I have a most able deputy in ES who will oversee all injun related duties as well as maintain Squeek and Eric in the standard of luxury they are accustomed to.

I note with some jealousy that the hostelries have reopened for business on that lump of rock situated in the Irish Sea, Isle of something or other, navigation never was my strong point but David hides himself there among the fairies. However it would appear that we are NOT welcome as it is residents only. Perhaps Lord Varley could have a word with the minions in power and grant us thirsty mariners some dispensation.

I hope to rejoin our merry band full time as soon as possible however in the meantime I shall be lurking around in the vicinity, nothing beats a good lurk, keeping a watching eye on you miscreants.

Stay safe and well you lot.
