I love the gun ports. :)

That's one I would have liked. "McAvoy! Polish the 'Skiving' brass".
I liked "make work". No one really cared about the job as long as you 
weren't caught skiving. But then I'm a chancer with a diploma in 
skiving. ;-)

No! I cannot believe that. How did you keep out of their clutches with 
your cut-offs and bandana?

The things that I could tell you about the professors at my "university 
of life".

I spent my holidays working at Butlins holiday camps. And not as a 
redcoat, either. :-)

Avast means, stop what you are doing.

This is the most realistic ocean I have seen so far! Will you publish
the scene source code?

Just the sky is pink and some dust does not allow to see very far, so it
seems.

All together. a GREAT SCENE!!!!!!!!

realism though.
