Tankertrashnav,

I nominate Michael Palin to play the Captain, in his best " Welease Woderick ! " mode.

Beagle,

That book simply has to be sent, if possible in such a way that el capitan can't just quietly bin it; transparent wrapper for the crew et al to see ?

If I on my little boat should happen to be in the vicinity of Bulwark when she returns ( unlikely but a nice thought ) it would be quite in order for me to enquire if they need anything, calling first on VHF channel 16...

Should be more worried about Leeks, they are far more dangerous!

I’m sure that Sprouts were used as a flavour enhancer in Watney’s Red Barrel.

Widger. I understand that Spring Onions can be hazardous if released in a confined space.

I hope their Lordships' traditional sense of humour prevails on this one, and that the captain is in due course promoted. A suitable NATO appointment might, say, be Flag Officer Training Units Atlantic. FLATULANT.

The ex Rupert turned Pengin wasn't called Mike, and an ex Royal Pioneer Corps officer was he?
