Indeed V can be a bit prudish at times. I put it down to his Home Counties upbringing and his time spent in Glasgow.
As for myself I was always intrigued to find out if the Plasticos are solid or inflatable? Hopefully inflatable.

Plasticos are inflatable only up to a point
 I had one allocated to the injun room but it burst... I went back to the Bosun to complain saying "That went down on me!!" to which he replied "If I'd have known it did that I would have charged you extra"  Tank yew, I'm here all week

I always expect an ambitious engineer to carry a bicycle pump in his locker along with a bicycle puncture repair kit. Ready for all eventualities. Be-Ready.
I,m relieved you're here all week, its a quare while since you put a full week in. Varley mutters "Slacker" under his breath. Last edited by Engine Serang; 16th October 2018 at 19:40. Reason: Destroying evidence.

Please don't go round bursting my Plasticos, the do serve your drinks and food and now play in the Barstewards band. The one who plays the Oompah is particularly resounding.

Cleared directly through the locks tomorrow, but scheduled to anchor in Gatun Lake until our turn to transit the cut. Shore station transmission indicates the pilot wants to interview the pussers when he gets aboard. When we replied we don't even have one, he said he would bring his own. Good man!

Mr McCloggie, please make sure the cutouts are provided with safety helmets and body protectors. Those lads on the quaysides of the locks are lethal with their heaving lines. I'm sure they have weighted monkey fists on the end of them.

I have heard about the "fist through ring" thing, I had no idea it was competitive. I think I will pass on this.

Will you please stop inflating the plasticos. No one will not know what gauge of brass bound bumstretcher to use if they are overblown.
(SOD IT!! Bring me another smally boy, This one's split). (Postings erratic. Blowing out in the Smoke - home tomorrow)

I wouldn't feed that one if I were you. By the sound of it rumbling when it does fart it'll not only be the ozone layer that'll suffer.

Varley's in the smoke, The Smoke.
Has Sgt Dixon been informed, and has Lyons Corner House been stocked-up to festival levels.

Believe me, if you have gout you don't gallop. The sensible story is told of a man watching a fly circling round his gouty toe, praying it would not land.
I am still not convinced that my (15 years ago) diagnosis of gout was right. Both knees swelled to the half the size of my abdomen the pain was unbelievable.

A gentleman only settles up for those demands which must absolutely be settled, his Turf Accountant, Commission Agent, and his Wine Merchant. All the rest can be treated with hauteur and distain. I think V excels in such abilities, he has rarely settles his Mess Bill on this ship.
