[Ignis Fatuus]

Feck I now feel old, I remember the last Ark Royal and I'm only 39.

Feck, I'm so old I remember the first Ark Royal

Bloody hell, the average age around here must have gone up since you arrived.

I know; while the Frogs are on strike, which seems to be every day other than a random, unannounced rainy tuesday afternoon in february, why not nip in, nick a couple of their ships and bring them back to the UK?

OK, the manuals will be in French, but I'm sure we can figure out a way round that.

Henry the Fifth would have managed it!

It's a good idea, but it would never work. They sail on the other side over there.

We had real problems with shipworm on that one, I can tell you.

What about the weevils? They're a bastard when they're in yer biscuits! Although any extra protein is a bonus.

any extra protein is a bonus.

A man who sticks his tongue out when saying that in a naval context can raise suspicions.

Given the choice, would you pick a larger or smaller weevil?
