It's a bit wet for a dry dock.

It looks more like a wet dock than a dry one.

Nellie woke up in the morning and had that sinking feeling, We told her to have a bath but she did not have to lie in it.

'Wet Nelly', 007's submarine in "The Spy Who Loved Me"

"And the waters as they flow seem to whisper sweet and low....you're my heart's desire, I love you, Nelly Deeeeean!!"..... that reminds me of people getting up to "give a song" on Saturday nights in the "Singing Room", (complete with piano), in the pub across from our house when I was a little girl. Nelly looks as if she's had one over the eight too....she's leaning a bit!

That’s not good Mick,how’s your new knee now ?

So true Irene and I can recall pianos still being in some pubs when I began going in, there was always some really good singers too who got up when the piano began to play on concert nights, the Joiners Arms (Le Moulin Rouge) in Chorley was a good night for that on Tuesdays, then juke boxes became the rage, and now it's karaoke, so pub singing has gone full circle.
Those pianos that got thrown on bonfires or took a 'Bashing' for charity would be worth a bit now. Remember the piano that was found on the summit of Ben Nevis? https://www.scotsman.com/news/solved-case-of-ben-nevis-piano-pushers-2473936

(This is the only clean and funny-ish joke I could find with the name Nelly)
Nelly Dunne.
A young Irish man named Paddy was moving away to London.
He went to his next door neighbors (3 miles away) to say his goodbyes. His neighbors, Mr and Mrs Dunne, said their goodbyes and they asked Paddy "Could you find our daughter Nelly Dunne and ask her why she isn't writing back home please?"
"Sure thing, do you know whereabouts she is?" Paddy asked,
"Well we know she went to a place called WC1".
Paddy arrived into London and walked around the streets. As he wandered around, he saw a sign that said "WC" on it and an arrow pointing down some stairs. He went down and saw 3 stalls "WC1 - WC2 -WC3".
Paddy knocked on the door of WC1 and asked,
"Are you Nelly Dunne in there?"
A voice responded, "Yeah but there's no paper."
Paddy angrily replied with, "Well that's no reason for not writing to your mother."
