Certainly not one I'm accustomed too! Sounds like something out of Nelson's navy. Rum sodomy and the lash, without the rum.

Max Mosley's just been it to the RAN careers office to see if there is an age limit.

My uncle, who was in the Merchant Navy, said if I was ever offered 'Navy Cake' to say I prefer the salad instead. I'm not sure what it means, but I get the feeling it wouldn't interfere with my sitting down...

Ask your uncle if he ever got to see the golden rivet.

You what? We're at war with Oz?

Who's going to staff the bars now?

Grant, be a love and get me a G&T, please, just one ice cube.
