Re: Already exists

I suggest a domestic column discussing colour schemes (curtains, pinnies etc )and baking edited by Jimi, Para & Claymore

A fashion page by Tome (Julie@the Week End)

There should also be a training / how to section edited by JHR (from the Mrs Beetons school of domestic yachting)

Re: Men have it easy....

... axschualy it aint as easy as one might fink. First of all there ain't no flies in oilies trousers, so one has to drop the bloomin fings. This requires the shedding of one's life jacket and oilies top. Then, believe it or not, a man's aim is somewhat impaired under bouncy conditions so we have to sit down anyway. Which just about leaves us in the same state as you lot.

It will degenerate to smut.

When I was young, now there's a turn of phrase, women mags consisted of Good Housekeeping and Women's Own. These have, by popular demand from the slappers, evolved into Cosmo and Marie Clair, both of which have more soft porn and explicit smut than any lads mag. Ten years ago the boy/girl ratio at Cowes week was 10/1. Now it is almost 50/50 as the girls realised what a target rich environment it was and they all became extremely mission focussed on one thing! I thought that sailors were sailors and that gender and sexual orientation was meaningless but then maybe I am just too normal!

In warm weather I am sure a chap like you can just wave it over the side like the garden hose!

I notice from No 4,5& 6 that things have degenerated already! Now alll we need to do is sell tickets. Which marina will have a red light hanging outside it, if this is to seaward it could cause all sorts of bother!

Now, come on chaps, let's show a little more decorum and respect to the fairer sex, shall we?

I must ask, however, do we allow the ladies to take up two guest bedrooms and half the attic with back-issues going back to 1964 and beyond . . . ?

No.... Make them store their precious mags at work like I have to.

I know that one. People - some of them clients (potential, anyway) - come into my office and say,
"Do a lot of marine work then?"
"Well, actually . . . "
Ho, hum - time to put my assistant back in her cupboard and go hme to prepare SWMBO's dinner, I suppose.
