Naughts and crosses. Lucky it's not eastern medicine - a Go layout would be very painful to remove.

(E-S. Indeed. Hardly Michelangelo, not on a good day anyway - he did say that he did not sculpt but merely released the work from its marble incarceration. Sometimes prison is the better option).

Good flannel pan-jammases is needed in Dublin these nights, Sam Fox just ain't sufficient. If I wore yours His Lordship and The Honourable T would call me Muffin.
I may swap Sam for May McFettridge to save on postage.

Are you sure the insulating tape helps with the electrostimulation?

Seems to help Mr Varley. flat out on tummy with hundreds of ants nipping at me for 10 minutes seems like a life time, followed by having my legs forced into positions they never been in before. sometimes wonder if its all worth it.

I walk paste Sir William's tomb quite often. He rather steals the thunder the early, more local, institutions that came before. South Shields, the site of much good marine 'stuff', being one - if not the first.

Bewildered here in the wheelhouse because the Noble Lord headed back to Crooked Mona to greet Queen Camilla (me neither) but she has a twinkle in her eye that could lead our old buffer astray. Jilly Cooper with a crown.
More pressing matters, the IPA tank has reached unpumpable bottoms and V has the Barclaycard, situation critical.

I passed QuarterBridge on my afternoon constitutional. The boys in blue were on point-duty dolled up for ceremonial traffic duty.

Had I known HM(Qc)was due so imminently I would have waited to doff my hat. As it was her car, standard flying, passed the road entrance to the NSC at the same time as I did on foot and so I did get a glimpse.

A friend, much into City hall mayoral 'good works', pressed the flesh royal. Her remark was that she is very beautiful and merely photographs badly. Taking that as licence I have endorsed my Discharge Book and Passport likenesses accordingly - my bus pass is laminated, next time, should I still need one.

End of said constitutional passes 'The Wine Cellar'. IPA is stemmed. Meanwhile don't touch the ECDIS the last time you went cold turkey you tried to pump a pint from the ashtray using the joystick. Rejoining with the pilot.

I may have lived in the reigns of three monarchs now but none of those were Kings Edward I, II and III ! I Google that the place was whelmed by 1350 (although it didn't say if that was BST or proper time).

Anyway my lot come from further West, Stanningley.

In these days of redundancies, coups, sackings, revolutions, mutinies, insurrections, and hijackings one should consider that before kicking arses today one may have to kiss that same arse tomorrow.

Nevertheless, how much more will I earn as Bosun? Instead of shovelling coal aboard the GD will I get to fiddle with the nuclear thingys?
