Oh, I see .. wot I dished out to you during the Caymans trip eh.
The daily kick to get you outa your bunk bed on time for the 1st dive of
the day.  Clip around the ears when ya got to big for ya boots ;-)
Just remember to stock up on those camel ciggies you puff on as we don't
have any specialist tobacco shops up north so you'd have to live off Benson
& Hedges and the like filter jobs unless you wanted to roll your own.

You in a chicken coop .. I'd hate to be the one who had to stuff you in

They will be screening suitcases of suspect folk in a separate area from
the rest of the crowd so if you get pulled aside ya know you are in deep
