Hummmmm, the uniform talking looks just like Popeye's nemesis, Bluto. The entourage looks like a bunch of DC bureaucrats (Bureau of the Navy, Torpedo Ordinance Div).

DU just got offered a part time at the local supermarket. No more pocket money from me!
I imagine that must be a wonderful feeling. [:)]

But the very best thing about her job is the hours:
Fri 6pm - 10pm
Sat 4pm - 10pm
There go the parties and evenings out with the BF. Oh dear.

Your daughter sounds like mine was - she loved to spend money - as long as it was other people's. When she started earning her own it was rarely spent.
About the hours of work - I thought 10 PM was about the time young people started to party. Don't tell me this newly independent working girl still has a curfew!

RE: Hearts and Minds
Need some help understanding this one - over here, "Sunbeam" is a kitchen appliance manufacturer.ORIGINAL: sprior
This why allied DC is so much better than JJs:
![]()
I am aware there is also a car model called Sunbeam but no cars are visible in the picture and I see no reason to suppose the firefighter would go out and bleed on one.
I know also that "Sunbeam" is military radio code for the CO of a unit. I doubt any of his subordinates would be so concerned with his dry cleaning bill.
Is there another "Sunbeam" that this refers to?
EDIT: Correction, lest anyone call me on it, now that I think about it some more the correct Military radio code is SUNRAY for the CO and MOONBEAM for the 2 i/c. "Sunbeam" is the result of my head dumping half the stuff I ever knew and condensing the remainder to fit limited capacity.

Said with gritted teeth it has a whole new meaning. Junior ratings who upset me I called "sunshine", say it with menace and griited teeth soon make all but the most foolhardy cringe.

D'oh! (insert Homer Simpson smiley here - we really need one of those). Sunshine/sunbeam - should have figured that one out!

It's like a whole 'nuther language.
I am still trying to figure out what "Toe-rag" means. I am betting on something not flattering.
