Size man, Size matters, there is no way you will be able to incorporate all these modern inventions into a sleek white British sportscar Commander Bond.

Hoskins, I know sub is just bus backwards but I actually wanted something a little more, ah... nautical than this...

NutLoose 25th Jul 2023 16:02

Well Hoskins, what do you aspire too? a Battleship, a Cruiser, or even one of those new Carriers?

Well Sir, I rather had set my heart on a double decker.

"Rrrrig the Rrrroyal Topgallants and make way to Dalston Junction!", cried Horatio as he blew the horn.

Flares please!

NutLoose 25th Jul 2023 17:17

I say Sir, I have just been below decks and it’s full of asylum seekers.

If Scotland gains independence, this'll be their share of the Navy...

Apparently , Landlubbers that get seasick more than those with sea legs get re-assigned to the HMS Dingleberry for remedial naughtykill training . The only ship with two golden rivets . The only ship that serves Navy Cake with breakfast , lunch and dinner

“Well Flags, it seems we learned nothing from the Crabs and MFTS.”

If you weave it down the runway, it wallows just like a C Class destroyer in a heavy sea... soon sorts out the men from the boys.

Chu Chu 25th Jul 2023 22:13

There are fords, and there are bridges, and then there's the Ford bridge.

NutLoose 26th Jul 2023 01:25

I don’t know, it has some perks, I just made two Bob orf that old lady sitting in row four, mind you we have to drop her orf at Tesco’s

NutLoose 26th Jul 2023 01:29

I say Smithers old chap, you can’t shout man overboard and throw a life ring at everyone you see walking down the pavement, that’s the second one you’ve clobbered this morning.

I know all the nice girls love a sailor, Bloggs, but this is the No 73 from Dagenham to Barking via Creekmouth...

treadigraph 26th Jul 2023 03:07

Permission to come aboard Sir...

Permission granted. Ninepence please...

Hydromet 26th Jul 2023 07:55

It was well known that Bloggs took postings just to get his ticket punched.

Ahhhh, the feeling of a salt ladened sea spray on one's face....... wait a minute, it tastes of screenwash.

NutLoose 26th Jul 2023 15:28

Shall we give them a broadside Sir?

cavuman1 26th Jul 2023 16:16

"I'd like the cut of your jib if you had one!", exclaimed Ensign Pulver.

Where’s Rodger, the Cabin Boy?
Got off at Trafalgar I think.
Bugger.

"Sir, shouldn't the White Engign be flown at the stern?"

"Don't worry, lad ... we'll drive it in reverse on the Parade."

NutLoose 27th Jul 2023 11:32

I must add, it is nice to get a picture that has the ability to be commented on... some of them one wonders if the poster ever thought of how many responses it could get :)
Nothing like a couple of people in an unusual situation to bounce captions off each other :ok:

622 27th Jul 2023 11:57

I thought you were driving it!!

NutLoose 27th Jul 2023 12:22

Iv'e just been called a Clippy, I don't know if I should be offended or not?

Thank you to Nutty for his kind words.

Special mentions to
MPN - "Sir, shouldn't the White Ensgign be flown at the stern?", "Don't worry, lad ... we'll drive it in reverse on the Parade." - apparently it could only go astern.
Big Pistons - No son you don’t get sea duty allowance on this posting,
Nutty - Sir, I am posted to Africa, I cannot wait to see what type of land ships they have there, I have been told I am going to be on ships of the desert
Treaders - Permission to come aboard Sir... , Permission granted. Ninepence please...

I really was spoiled for choice, some very inventive humour, I could have chosen nearly all the entries

Chu chu came very close with 'There are fords, and there are bridges, and then there's the Ford bridge.'

... but as a student of naval history it has to be :

Fitliker: Not sure that handbrake turns will ever replace Nelson’s strategic crossing the T’s

CST is on its way as soon as the stokers have got the steam pressure up for the catapult.

PM sent as the bulb's gone in the Aldis lamp.
