At first I thought this was daft, then I got the first one, and hurt myself laughing at it. Once you've got one the rest get easier, but the laughs get louder … seven very well known book titles …

Oh Dear! It's been over a month now.
I bet Bob was just about thinking that he'd had the last word.

Changing 'boot to 'book' probably helps.

If I was smart enough or well read I wouldn't have had to go to sea in the first place. I'm fed up of your version of University Challenge and as for that nonsense with the ship cut into a jig saw, save it for the Naval Arcs. I joined this website for salty tales and a bit of smut, its gone all Cunard and Holland America. Soon we'll have to wear epaulettes to log-on.

Well to be honest I've only read one of those books. (I've seen films of some of the others.) But I have heard of them.

I first went to sea as an engine room rating so I aint buying your epaulettes complaint.

All too easy apart from 6, but now you've given the author's name....

It might take longer to read it than this thread has lasted!

As Engine Serang I share your feelings, believe me. Instead of flashing a boiler you can flash your abs on the monkey island whilst bronzeying between watches.

I did that. And what did I get for my trouble ? … a nice tan ? … plus a malignant melanoma.

You can't win sometimes.
