Waver;y retirement

[Kukri]

When you think about it, almost all the crashes involving paddle steamers have involved land, but so have almost all those with screw propulsion, and almost all those involving sail driven vessels, and, indeed, every aircraft crash as well. I think I can see a pattern emerging.

Dangerous stuff, this land

I am very much of that opinion. Anyone who has sailed with me will confirm that I resemble the Flying Dutchman in my attempts to remain at sea and avoid land of all sorts.

Funny thing this thread: a single post from a new poster, prodding the right places with the right inflammatory stuff, has all the hallmarks of an 'Old Lag Troll'/

I don't think that as it was was eloquent and reasonably well argued?
Any regular's come to mind?

[Biggles Wader]

Definitely not a paddle steamer!
