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?

Gabby is back? Fab!

TheVermiciousKnid · 30/05/2012 18:49

Out of the way, everybody, out of the way! I'll take the wheel. I'm a captain's daughter.

(Are there special parent and child spaces in the harbour?)

Rita is the sort to get caught in not her own hammock.
And I wouldn't trust her in the weaponary, either.
Anyway, enough about Rita. Will there be rum?

diabolo · 30/05/2012 18:50

Very busy HRH.

Feeling a bit sore, and it's not even a Friday!

MrsSnaplegs · 30/05/2012 18:52

I'm a serving RN Officer I'll have you know - I'm driving Grin
Right who has the Grog? Splice the Mainbrace the sun is over the yardarm somewhere Wink

HRHBumpingFuglies · 30/05/2012 18:52

What - rum has been handed round, you weren't there so I drank it myself.

Vermicious - your ship sir, I am the Admiral and do not "steer" as I am above all that Grin

P&C spaces are limited at the docks and may only be taken by drunk enough crew.

Excellent, I see rum rations are being distributed.

Now, back to the purpose of the thread, would it help if we all promised to be nice to each other, and did a secret Santa type thing to choose who's turn it is to be the grenade thrower?

PomBearWithAnOFRS · 30/05/2012 18:53

Can I be ship's cook and porcupine?

MrsSnaplegs · 30/05/2012 18:53

HRH - ahem Smile cross post I think Grin

TheVermiciousKnid · 30/05/2012 18:54

Oi, MrsSnaplegs! Get off! I will take the wheel, it's mine.

ChickensHaveNoLips · 30/05/2012 18:55

I'd come, but I get horrendously seasick.

HRHBumpingFuglies · 30/05/2012 18:55

MrsSnap - is your husband here? There'll be no hanky-panky on board without me

OP posts:
whattodoo · 30/05/2012 18:55

Bah! Missed the rum.

(whisper - I have some home brew under my bell-bottoms if anyone fancies some illicit-ness)

MrsSnaplegs · 30/05/2012 18:55

Fine I'll retire to my cabin if I'm not required Wink Dinner in the wardroom at 8!
