Spending money on games or clothes... I know which one I'd prefer!

Sounds like you had a great nautical afternoon. Can we add the submarine to the list of things I want to see when I eventually make it to your side of the world?

Which reminds me of the strangest question I've ever been asked: How do you jump-start a U-Boat? It wasn't even an RPG-related question.
