The Crushers
(MAA R. A. L. Austen, RPO R. J. Durnell, LREGJ. J. Winchester)
The ship's company have quite a few nicknames for the Reg Staff most of them unmentionable in this article. However the MAA is known as 'Bunny' (nothing to do with rabbits), the RPO as CLUBS (something to do with his manly physique) and the LREG as THE LEFT LEG (meaning the left leg of the dog).
Bunny is a native
of London, Clubs hails from Bridge North and the Left Leg is a staunch Fifer.
Our duties vary on board from taking the helm when the ship is replenishing to ensuring the ship's company mail is handled correctly. It has even been known for a member of the staff to spend some time in the galley and the engine room.
Heard at the Table
Jossman: 'BIoggs. Report to me at 0800 tomorrow having had your haircut.'
(Pause: Jossman notices extensive love bites on the Defaulter's neck.)
Jossman: 'Better still. Get your girlfriend to bite it offl!'
