Duty Watch stand down

Post by swiss »

Yo ho me hearties, shiver me mainbrace and splice the other thing. Yarrr!

Well I'm back to good ole' land lubbin, for a bit anyway. I've just completed a three day health and safety and risk assessment seminar so as you can see my leave's been super exciting already.

Anyway it's nice to be back. I see Matt's in red now, who cocked that one up? :p

Just to allay your collective fears the car was all right after a few months' neglect alongside in Portland. Apart from the shoes welding on to the drums of course, but nothing prodigious use of first-reverse-first etc won't fix. w00t.

Here's a picture of some beer:

Thanks chaps. Well I was doing a bit of a cross country drive t'other day and decided it might be wise to check my oil. Turns I had a tiny wee splodge on the end of me dipstick. Silver lining to this cloud? I can justify an oil change woopwoop :)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - You bought Fosters....?

Seriously, nobody drinks that here - Infact, it's the joke of all things beer. Infact, no pubs even serve it! On that note, I do like your other choices! :cheesy:
