Who would insult a Master by suggesting he were only as powerful as God? The world really is topsy- turvey.

Came onboard with a Norwegian Suitcase, all his worldly possessions. Hammer tucked into his belt, a touch of class. Makes you proud to be British.

Real engineers, such as myself, would only use a Bahco. I am a legend for asking Tmac to leave the machinery spaces for nipping up a gland with Mole Grips. (He was the worse for wear).
BB keep your King Dick, it's as close as you'll get to …………… Happy Christmas.

Legend = inflated story of long dead mini hero kept current by the gullibility of many.
So, you looked daggers at our magnificent Injuneer when he took the last piece of toast, and have felt nervous ever since.

Lifting, indeed looking covetously at, the last edible item on the tea tray is a mortal faux-pas and will ensure you are never invited back. Poor old T has never been invited back to Lady Cynthia's swarrys.
As I've said many times I shouldn't use Food, Edible and this bloody ship in the same sentence. Somebody should do something about the cook, or chef as he calls himself.

The cutouts have hoisted our tree and decorations and mighty fine they look. Some said the 150ft tree was too big, but it does look very imposing. Any volunteers to be the fairy on the top? It is a heavy lift tree, so anyone can have a go.

Are you sure it's a 'quake? I thought that fat fairy on top of such a tall tree might require someone to check the rolling period at least.
I have a feeling he'll not be up there for long I think they have made a fundamental error with the pointy bit of the tree ("They don't like it up 'em Mr Mainwaring, .....")

Glad you and the good lady are all safe. Varley has it all wrong as usual, the reason there is a fairy on top of a Christmas tree is simples..... Santa told the Queen of the Fairies to go out and get him one tree for each of the twelve days of Christmas. Unfortunately she was as good at mathematics as Diane Abbot and brought thirteen. "What will I do with the extra one?" she asked, Santa told her which is why you get a fairy on the top of a tree....

And tested extensively in the earthquake hotspot of suburban Belfast.
Patent the gizmo before John Chinaman sees it.

We would have worried had you not announced your wellbeing before MSN had announced the subterranean Kerfuffle.
I see there have been fatalities sad time of year for a country with such a rich believership.

Strange you should come up with that. Many moons past when I last saw school chaplain (Rev. Challis - great name for a Christ shaman, recently became 'late' I regret) he greeted me just like that "Ah, David. Still a heathen?".
My post however was prompted by the thought that calamity around a festival must be worse for those who 'owned' the festival. Rather than to poke fun of any particular superstition. I am jealous of the comfort they give. Just not the intellectual canon. (I am procuring the birds for M'Lady, to whose table I am invited. They will not be coming from across the road!).

Sir W. That does not mean you cannot take advantage of it surely? (Providing it doesn't bring in the ceiling). I hope GD is in sufficiently deep water to avoid tsunami.

This raises the question, the Ulster question; Are you one of our atheists or one of their's.
Myself I'm very much an A La Carte Christian. I would give it up completely but this is not the time to be making enemies.

I declare myself to be a stout and convinced atheist, secure in the knowledge that if I am wrong, I will be forgiven. Just don't give me a harp and some Horlicks (meant as spelt, not pronounced.
