This why allied DC is so much better than JJs:

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).

You forgot the labels for the crocs in the Darwin photo.

The craziest naval firefighters have to be the Russians....

Has anyone seen damage control on Russian ships in AE?

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. [:)]

We were out today and somehow the subject got around to buying clothes for the summer holidays.

Me: Now that you have a job I won't have to pay for your clothes anymore
DU: What????????

Your just like the IMF with your mean-spiritied austerity program...but at the same time enjoying all your fancy French wines. You are the 1%.

A different approach might be less likely to produce conflict .. [:D]

[:)] Good stuff what.

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.

Is this the same BF / prat unit as last year? Oh dear, oh dear indeed. [8D]

Yes it is, although he is known as Toe-rag to myself and Mrs P.

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!

Damned right she does.

This why allied DC is so much better than JJs:

Need some help understanding this one - over here, "Sunbeam" is a kitchen appliance manufacturer.
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.

Is there another "Sunbeam" that this refers to?

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.
