it's dive season 2022. parks canada are diving the wreck of hms erebus. they enter the captain's cabin. a man emerges from the shadows. it's capt. james fitzjames. he's wearing novelty swim shorts and a snorkel and is, somehow, holding a fruity cocktail. "can i help you?" he asks
i love this like who's ned gonna tell? literally just john & george. but francis is like "edward if u say ghosts to 'god does not grant us ghosts but if he does i will cry' irving or george 'hallo random crewman have you heard a ghost is hunting us?' hodgson, i will throttle you"
exciting find of today!! visiting my aunt and uncle and mentioned cold boys, "oh, you'll want to go and see the Scott memorial window in the church over in the next village" they said. YOU ARE CORRECT YES I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT
don't forget to leave a glass of whiskey and a lead-infused veal cutlet tomato tin out for father crozier tonight so he has a snack when he visits your house on this auspicious bbc terror eve

10 minutes later he returns. he is carrying a nandos bag.
"at ease, jopson. at ease"
