    I would have you know that John Thomas was just a loveable misunderstood old rouge and I cannot understand for the like of me why the crew of the Andrew out in Singers took a contract out on him...

    It is said that to be a proper submariner at the time you had to have had a bollocking off of JT.....

    Silver nitrate is good for that........allegedly! We used to use it back aft for SG Sampling, not that we carry it as a matter of course has any relevance.

    Probably not, I got bollocked by JT as a baby sailor - in those days, someone with buttons on his sleeve was 'GOD' to we babies, and I never served in boats, just had two stints at Dolphin working with them in stores accounts.
