HMS Troutbridge?
Correct. The one Royal Navy commissioned ship where it doesn't matter where the crew really are, so personnel who cannot be assigned to a normal location get assigned to HMS Victory. With all the senior officers working in Whitehall I image the "crew" is very top heavy when it comes to rank.
Your gun deck.

Some of us, as we get older, humorously cite being 21 again as each birthday comes around. But for me, I can genuinely say that I was 21 for longer than most people. Why?

Was your 21st birthday during the period of British Standard Time?

University of Birmingham, the Barber Institute?
No not there, it's in a more stony place.

When I was at Brum I was always stoned.

If it's not Avebury, could it be Stonehenge?
You are absolutely right. It's so named because underneath the toppled stone they found the skeleton of a man which at the time they believed to have been a 14th century travelling barber who had on his possession a leather purse containing a pair of scissors (some of the oldest ever found), a small probe and some 14th century coins.
The floor is yours.

The common old office stapler has a design feature which I bet most folk have never used and is really useful.
*This feature is sometimes not found on the very cheapest ones bought for home use.

Thats it. I'm amazed by the number of people who don't know what its for, as you say its great if you only wish to temporarily attach something- the staple easily pulls out sideways. Your floor
It's even easier to use a paperclip, of course.

I thank you, and to think that my Mum used to tell me sitting in front of the Playstation would never help me in life
My question:
Which military aircraft was nicknamed the 'Banana Jet', and as a bonus why?

I seem to remember there was a plane that after some extremely dangerous manoeuvres landed with a bent fuselage but I can't remember what it was.

This isn't the answer I'm looking for.
