An Invitation

[claymore]

Take notice that you are hereby invited to invest a modest sum in a revolutionary device which will revolutionise sailing and turn the most devout and regular of honkers into strangers to the activity of technicolour yawning. Yes fellow falorum members it is here - a cunningly simple device - from the pen of Parahandy Patents in strategic alliance with Glen Rosa Technical Developments inc. and the Claymore-Bendix nautical foundation.
I see you bristle with virtual interest- ah well - watch this space. Cheques in a plain brown envelope marked Smithsmountreef project please. Give generously - Kim will probably be hitting us for his split.

Re: Ooh

Oh heck one of those weekends where they all invented something, though not before the third pub. I know! etc etc. And anyway, if something like that did get invented -what about the advertsiing, And how would the YM test go? "five of us ate a large Vindyahoo curry the night before and then sat below playing cards and eating cold baked beans before beginning the test. Product A was no use whatsoever, and our tester failed to reach the back of the boat before razzing copiously (pic 1) which rather set off tester of product B, who slithered all over the saloon floor before upended evacuation of his stomach (fig2) etc etc"

Nonetheless, it must some product to win the approval of three scots in a boat on a drinking trip in a for ce ooer. So how much is required? Or is this a whipround for a flotilla hol in a windless summer Ionian?

[chas]

is it revolutionary enough to be a re invention of the wheel?

[jimi]

This will be a logical extension of the Karmatic wheel, which not only will still the retching stomach but also quell the tremblings of the faint hearted partner and answer the desires of the cordon bleu cook ... Eat yer heart oot, Miranda!

Re: Anti-seasick contraption

Well, I am eagerly awaiting more info, and most certainly not being at all sceptical. I wonder how this new product will work, and what it will be called?

I suppose some of us might actually regret the fact that motion sickness will become a thing of the past. I know I will: for many years, every time i am in an aeroplane I seek out the sick bag, carefully undo the seal at the bottom thereof, and then re-fold the bag which is now incapabale of holding the intended contents. I have no idea why I do this, other than having a warped yet patient sense of humour. Unfortunately, I have never been in an aeroplane when anyone needed a sick bag. There is a chance that all the planes have been sold off, still with their defective sick bags, so there may be dreadful scenes amongst passengers on flights around China or Russia, for example, but it's all been hushed up.

Nonetheless, the results are bound to show eventually, and planeloads of passengers each with a lapful of vomit is sure to increrase the attraction of a motion sickness cure, perhaps on an international scale. So I suppose that I'm already contributing towards the venture.

Unsealing barf bags

TCM - I believe this is called guerrilla marketing by MBAs and such other pustules on the buttocks of business.

Re: Update

On the practical side I carried out more tests this evening. The precision work with the laser requires quite a bit of refinement but is developing. On the plus side during the roll tests nothing broke so thats good. Decided nothing can be done on the solo side. The big yellow B is getting pressed into service for inspiration. Will give a further report anon.

Re: Update

Eh? Important people in Russell Square? That's fred the pigeon-chaser. Or was it a traffic warden? Seriously, it was a good idea to take back those books to the British Museum and avoid a nasty scene.

Re: Update

You obviously know your London and so it will come as no surprise that the Royal College of Anaesthetists is located on Russel Square. Now- I don't want to be giving too much away here so I'll leave it at that.
Library Books indeed!!

Discretion

Jimi
We said at the EGM on Sunday evening that we wouldn't discuss the Big Yellow in open forum. I don't think they are ready for that yet and Para is still sorting out the Omega 17 plexi for the FFSAP(forward facing stable accommodation pod)
Lets not be giving too much away here, TCM is nibbling and I feel might just stump up some of the bunce.

Re: ooer

I think Griffins is based there, insolvency specialists.

Also, Birkbeck College dept of mental disorders. Did the bloke you speak to just introduce himself as an anaethetist? Some nutters can be very convincing, you know.

So you came to London ...

... just to sleep with an anaesthetist?

Re: panda

ah, you shout "Nee-naw! Nee-naw!" at the appropriate moment?

Or is it that you need five years nibbling at sticks in Regents Park Zoo to get you in the mood? Hence the trip to London perhaps?
