I had a tour around the Richmond when it was in Cardiff a few weeks back.

Quite nice it was too.

Not that I'd want the serve on it... if I ever get in.

How about, "it's a nice Warship"?

Nope.....I understand that Skimmers like phrases like "She looks well 'ard" and suchlike

Blimey, perhaps you can get it in the credits of Eastenders.

Ah, well, Skimmers aren't for me...

Am I allowed to say things like, "nice boat"?

I was saying to my missus the other night how Astute does look really nice...

I'm sure you won't be the only one on the Boat :wink:

it is still law that when an RN ship visits London they have to give the Lord Mayor and barrel of rum..(or something like that)

Given the current economic climate, wouldn't a small schooner be more appropriate than a barrel?

They would have liked to, BQ, I'm sure, on such a very hot day, but they actually went over there by coach.
