Come on Bob nobody likes a know it all ,about time you volunteered to join the crew on the sea scopium search vessel as may be a deck hand or tour guide with your vast knowledge of all things

Far from knowing it all , I wondered myself , looked it up in the dictionary , and shared it with those who were curious . That little word ' apparently ' was there to tell you that .

I fear that I would be little use on your expedition , the sea scares me shitless , and I am allergic to scopium . There was a nice 12/2 sold on ebay last week . You could have done with the extra power for trawling . How about a nice Kelvin KR6 ?

Naval slang for sanitary wallah . For ' heads ' see above . The part at the over hanging bow where you stuck your arse out and relieved yourself , incorporated with the bow chains in a square rigger . The navy still talks of ' heads ' for the shithouse . .
