I see that the latest KiloPost sneaked in under the radar very quietly.
I think that may have been it.

Speaking of Admirals, have I aquired a Rose?
I like that, much better than a plain old admiral of the white.

Harrumph!
Lady Admiral indeed, is there no place safe from the advances of equality and diversity?
Shuffles off muttering, his pipe nicely smouldering in the right hand pocket of his ancient Harris Tweed jacket........

Even with a BOGOF offer, which you don't deserve, you are a long way off.
It is time for a Lady Admiral, but only on merit.
Edited to add, You are infront of Garedfox who must have a distinct advantage in the promotion stakes if only for the sakes of domestic harmony.

I am not sure I am clever enough; my repertoire of keich is limited and there just isn't anything interesting going on in my life to comment on. Even here I am now consigned to mediocrity. Will there be no end to this continuum of despair?
Are you sure that's how you spell ' Keech'?

You can get to be an Admiral by talking crap
But it's better asking and answering dumb questions.

There are a variety of ways to avoid the idiot sweary word filter, sometimes necessary when it refuses to let you use perfectly good words e.g. a "bas

Some do, in the past when Shell owned rigs they used the term foreman, but it's not common now.
That was a long time ago...
