03 Feb 10 - 10:47 AM (#2828831) Subject: BS: Phot promoted From: Phot Another great Royal Navy cock up was made today! After 23 years in the forces, I've been promoted to Petty Officer, so I suppose I'll have to be a grown up now! Five seconds after the skipper had given me my new rank slides, the Lt Cdr said I was 'Out of the rig of the day' and fined me a bottle of port, this does not bode well! Wassail!! Chris |

03 Feb 10 - 10:59 AM (#2828843) Subject: RE: BS: Phot promoted From: manitas_at_work Sounds like an extortion racket to me. I suppose when you make Lieutenant the fine will be a case of port! |

03 Feb 10 - 12:35 PM (#2828937) Subject: RE: BS: Phot promoted From: Charmion Now don't try anything foolish, like for example crawling up through the hawsehole. Life in the POs mess has its rewards. The wardroom is considerably more expensive, while the conversation is considerably less -- shall we say -- intriguing. |

04 Feb 10 - 08:21 PM (#2830342) Subject: RE: BS: Phot promoted From: skipy Pass the port to the left & don't have to many beers in the antiroom before you enter a formal "doo", but most of all don't even think about removing your jacket before you are told that you may do so! Those are the most important rules, trust me on this one! Skipy Member of "the mess" for 12 years |
