HMS Mumsnet - all hands on deck

[HRHBumpingFuglies]

Let us not abandon our trusty vessel in stormy seas of missing posts!
Let us raise her sails and speed elegantly into mountainous waves life!
We shall fend off the troublemakers pirates!
Defend the site realm!

Sod 'em all, lets take it back! Who's on the crew?

MrsS - I've heard DH referring jokily to some very green young chaps as "local acting junior seamen".

They all had to start somewhere, poor sods.

Didn't we all

Right who's got the Tartan Paint?

We also need black chalk and elbow grease.

oh, mis-read the title...

TheOne - if you ask nicely, the Buffer here

will show you where to find the Golden Rivet.

Aaaah!!

See now I want to know about the Golden Rivet? It's not something from the things you should never google thread is it?

No, go on, Google it - the Urban Dictionary entry will tell you everything you need to know

(not yucky or explicit - promise)

Link to save you time

Just googled. Does that mean I'm a real sailor if I've had that prank pulled on me now?

Did you know that the Urban Dictionary expands on the original meaning a bit?
