Oliver doesn't rhyme with Prancer or George.

A lady reindeer. Good, they take less cooking than the bulls (and if she's been prancing with George she may come ready-stuffed).

She was dancing with Dasher. Donner und Blitzen ve vill not of ze presents ziss jahr getten. Oliver is male (with LGBTQIA+ tendencies) but Cynthia is all girlie.
Frigging reindeers are nothing but trouble. Haunch of venison for Christmas Lunch, anyone?

Surely you mean "Frigging reindeers leads to nothing but trouble."

NO I don't mean that.
FJ why are you trying to complicate our beautiful language. No need to transpose my post into the second declension and add a past participle in the dative tense. But that's Hull for you.

speaking of Hull ..Its time for our annual dry dock. I have a floating dock booked for next week. Usual travel passes for those wishing to go home for Christmas. I will remain aboard as usual to keep an eye on the dockies.
floating in on Saturday 19th. ship will be in its berth (close handy to a local bar) by the 2nd January.
Christmas bonuses will be paid as usual.

Drydock in Hull, good news.
I recall me sitting in a warm classroom in Queens Gardens looking out on ships being repaired in Drypool, in all weathers. PPE was a donkey jacket and a Hull KR woollen hat. Hint; not the best season to dock in Hull. Grand Bahama Dockyard is an alternative.

we already booked for the new float dock in Gib. However, the Bahamas does sound inviting. I,ll get on to the agent and see if he has a job for us in that neck of the woods.

I am struggling with "....IA". Incestuous Arabs? Incontinence Arachnophilia?

(Can we please check the C19 statuus of wherever we intend to dock? No point in being stuck on board without enough shore power for the AC and no sanitary resources. We'll be using the gin to bathe in before you can say 'phew' (not that that did Blücher any harm).

Google tells me that it is an umbrella word. I thought that they had stopped using that instrument for those that pick up something when 'intersex' (can no one spell properly these days?) especially when anally inspired even if only indulged annually.

Perhaps. The contrast would have been greater if he had made it to Hibernia (but not if he had started his journey here from there).

(What a wally! A jetski with a 4 hour endurance, must be rather like a 45 gallon drum with outboard and handlebars).

Keep her in the middle helmsman! dead slow now,...slow astern!...all stop!
Get them lines ashore cut outs. Fwe Tmac! shore supply cable connected. water for sanitation connected.
Gangways in place.
Merry Christmas to you all. enjoy your Christmas break but stay safe all of you. see you all back here safe and sound in a week by which time the ship will be moored over by yonder bar, the one with all the festive lights you can see.

Just because you are pipped at the jigsaw post doesn't mean you have to cover the smokeroom floor with them!

Has the bridgewatch knocked off before the obligatory Tom Turkey and plum pudding? (and don't say I didn't warm you about the shore supply capacity).

Forget the plum pudding, last year it was so stodgy and heavy it was called the Plumb Duff. Put me down for Sherry Trifle with a wee jug of runny cream.

The old chap could try Germaloids.

Funny you should bring up the pudding. One of my guests is insisting on bringing her Auntie's trifle to the Christmas table (and she won't take sprouts either so I must also do a cauliflower cheese).
