Hydromet,
In which case, you'd better have this lot in one lump !
"He says he's feeling his oats ! Put a double bromide in his next ration !"
"You'd better send me up another tin of Brasso - this won't pass CO's inspection tomorrow !"
"He says he should have a plume - should've come with the kit. Check in the box to see if it's still there !"
"Says he wants me to scratch his mane - it's itching - Try an ATS for a knitting needle".
"Tried the old "zebra" joke on him this morning. How he whinnied !"
(If by chance there be a living soul on the planet who hasn't heard that one, a can of Guinness Draught [and there's an oxymoron if ever I saw one] will do nicely).
