I am sure you'll be watching most observantly how the sailors handle their balls.

I watch that irrespective of profession

I had to copy this to b historically accurate: The expression: "It is cold enough to freeze the balls of a brass monkey" comes from the practice of putting iron cannon balls on a dimpled brass plate on the deck of a war-ship. When very cold the brass contracted sufficiently to cause the iron balls to fall out.

I hate to be a pedant but I fear the cannon balls story is a myth. Cannon balls would not be stored on deck because it would be dangerous.
Brass monkeys were a commonly sold ornament and it's thought that's where some cheeky cockney chap reflected "Eh crikey my old man - cold enuff to, well I dunno, meybe freeze the balls off that brass monkey, I'll be bound, mate".

A bit of controversy on a Saturday morning. I love it

I have no doubt that improperly clothed balls might suffer a reaction, but generally in an upward direction. Cold nipples however simply become a nuisance but... brass nipples?

Maybe little brass clips for your nipples?

My mind went straight into a cockney accent there or something like it may sound to a northerner.

Stop it you lot.....you've got 10 minutes to stop it

Anyway, the current state of my nipples can be found elsewhere

Morning everyone, bit chilly. Looks like I have some catching up to do…

Maybe it was a Cockney sailor, or maybe just cocky, and on a morning like this, definitely nipply, wherever the canon balls were stashed.

Do I have more tea, or will I be peeing all morning? Those weekend questions that need consideration.

 

[RainyWetDayGuy]

Tea for now, let the future do as it will surely?
