When that sort of thing happens, it can really p*ss one off.

Not that desperately

[Ursa major]

I can understand that you don't want to find the experience too draining.

[Interference]

There are other ways to uncover the whereabouts of a sailor - which in the Senior Service is called De-hide rating.

[Ursa major]

Those ratings aren't sure of the fairness of that process: they feel, by the end of it, that it's brigged.


(Though without help - a deck aide - it can still take quite a long time.)

[Interference]

But if you're in a hurry, I'm sure you can opt for the abridged version.

[Ursa major]

Or 'til a friend of the rating gives them away.

[Interference]

That would be awfully stern of them.

Ahoy, good to see you are all still here. Sadly its back to the keyboard for me. Retirement, where for art thou.

Don't work til you keel over.

[Ursa major]

Working too hard is likely to lead to becoming tired; so much so, Timba that you will risk your output being mostly bilge.

[springs]

Get some port and lemon, that'll sustain you.

[Interference]

You put a lot of faith in lemon aid, I think....

[Ursa major]

The alternative would be to say the future's orange....









(I'm sure France Télécom would agree.)

It is when it's put into gin but then I prefer tonic!
