Just browsing, thought I would post this.

Lissen youse - no-one around here is speaking to you. We don't like you and we are sorry that we ever met you now that we know how disgracefully you have treated M. Shard. Such a public humiliation cannot go unpunished so shame on you.

[Booby Trapper]

I think it's a great Pic but I would say that.

[sahona]

I'm not surprised there are pics of lobbydossers appearing on this thread.
That's what happens when you fit one of these new fangled sewing machines to the propshaft.
Big "C"s exhaust noise is probably equivalent to feline bottybreath in comparison to a REAL gents motorsailer with the original machinery intact.

What's that - speak up, I can't hear a word you're saying..

I could never work out how he managed to sleep so well with that engine racing away.

its - oops - it's the rythmic eliagic throbbing that reminds the auld goat of times past.

BUT! scurrilous suggestions that his fine boat's performance (windward to boot) was not as reported are dastardly utterances from those not a little envious of the skill displayed on that day.

Engine? Naw, the engine canna be on - no motoring cone.

Tee hee, think there is a different convention for motorsailers - if the sails are up and it's doing more than 3.5 knots, everyone knows it's definitely motoring so they don't need a cone

[sahona]

I don't think that's very funny.

[ljs]

Ah but they have some definite advantages such as when the weather's bad, and then there's the tardis-like interior. Just not built for speed that's all!

[Telo]

Aye, and thae wee canapés that come with them are a rare treat.

[sahona]

Who are you calling a 'kin ape?

This is a responsible forum where the contributors interact with sympathy, understanding and a general degree of enlightenment and tolerance.
Ok Shard, you hold him down and I'll kick him in the canapes.

[sahona]

Ah the "chentlemen" show their true colours.
No wonder they come home all scraped and bruised.
I'll stick to the more genteel Clyde Scuttlebutt, I think.
Pinkies up chaps.

[DaveS]

Pinkies up chaps.

Aye, but where?

[sahona]

Other side of the Limoges brims from our genteelly sipping lips.




Of course.

[sahona]

Why? Do you think it's upside down?
