Nick's Posting XXII: Round 17: Who?

Tannin · Posted: Sat Jul 25, 2015 9:07 pm

This week we make steam and sail from Docklands outward bound for Oblivion, with a scheduled good-will visit to Purgatory along the way.

Welcome to the good ship HMAS Titanic and may your voyage be as happy as it will be long, which is to say not very.

DTM is an Able Seaman up to six times a day at his best.

A cunning plan that should enable us to hold our feet this week with all the Seaman taking to the field.

Makes marking a lot easier also.

So I've been demoted to sub, aye?

Well, at least you are still (just) an officer. Consider what happens if we demote the chap in the back pocket - he would then be Very Ordinary Seamen Piedys.

Lieutenant Commander, eh? Does that come with a hat?

Strike your colours, Beveridge!

FIRE!!!

Um, re your footnote, would that .. er ... result in the production of more Ordinary Seamen?

This admiral commands Team Nickster to sail up the Maribyrnong and fire broadsides aplenty at the pirate ship Footscary before sending a boarding party led by Dyso to skin those puppies alive!

Ahhhh, OberLieutenant, Leunant, eh, well, having served on Das Boot, harrowing allied naval shipping with my Uboat, WW2, in wolf packs, i am more than ready to sink the dishlickers from the boundary line, with der gruppenfuher mit torpedoes. Achtung, ein volk, ein reich, ein Collingwood. !!

That team has as much hope of winning as the Titanic of not sinking!

His fart will go on.

I saw what you did, Chief Petty Officer Stui.

Suffice to say, best keep that sort of thing to your quarters and make sure the captain doesn't catch you in the act... Wink

Carry on.

Ah, Ship's surgeon. Always a good gig on the Nick's XXII after a Davoren conditioning session. The pleasant sunday afternoon team barbecue with the smoke rising gently from the severed limbs and the suspicious-looking dimmies. No bulk billing, and anyone who needs their Medibank privates seen to, report to Nurse "Coxswain" Stui.
