yes......I think I will pass that one as a long sentence........long in the sense of the timescale it took to work out what you meant.
Well done Deli.......philosophy is a good start. That was one of the most poignant questions I have heard for a long time.  |

Without wishing to miss out on Aaron's long sentence competition, I have to draw Deli's attention to a couple of galley related pusser's slang terms:
Port & Starbord Scran Spanners - Knives and forks
Pusser's Slide - Margarine / Butter
Sea Dust - Salt
BUNDY - Curry

What about the "Golden Rivet"? I knew they had one on the Yot (really) but have not encountered one elsewhere.
