Simply brammers
This is easily the fifteenth copy of Jackspeak that I've bought over the years, and it just gets better with every edition. It's now the standard gizzit that I give Americans so they can understand a bit more of what this Pompey Girl says. Funny, genuinely informative, and as absorbing to browse through as it is essential for reference. The illustrations by Tugg are priceless.

Let me spin you a dit, pull up a bollard shippers
A book of true entertainment to those who have, and have not, served in the Andrew. Revised several times since it was first published, with a percentage of the profit going to the South Atlantic Medal Association (1982)(SAMA(82)). Doc Rick Jolly spent most of his carear as a Naval Doctor with the Bootnecks and the Waffoos(Royal Marines and Fleet Air Arm). He may be remembered by most as the Doctor in charge of 'The Red and Green Life Machine' (the field hospital at Ajax Bay during the Falklands's War), and was decorated by both the British and Argentine governments.

The navy at its best
My son is in the "mob" and forever "spinning a dit" so at least I know what he is talking about! The book is full of the best and worst of navy humour and a facinating insight into their constantly evolving language.
