The entire project lacked the charisma offered by 3O Harvey WRNS. On secondment, of course, with the mandatory black stockings.

"Like a swan?!!!"
"Yeah... calm and unruffled on the surface, but paddling like f... fury underneath."

2nd Place Nutloose with...................................

"Engine room to bridge, would you mind not sitting on my face"


The Winner however is Lafyar Cokov who hit the Smut mark with.....................................
When the Wren offered to show me her "little man in a canoe" this wasn't exactly what I was expecting!
