A major part of any of our passage plans is whether we'll get to the pub or not. What sort of closing time do the St Peter Port pubs operate?

Oh well, we'll have to go tonight then, because if we left tomorrow with the tidal gates (20:00 slack& turn in the Alderney race) we'd be struggling to make the pub, and John's got a delicate stomach so an evening in Alderney has been vetoed!

Now….this (dringing) is a little know CI ailment. The nearest translation is “dribbling with ringing sensation in brain”. It is however, known of on the mainland, partic zommerzet where “dringing” often occurs after scoffing copious quantities of scrumpy………
A quick call to the NHS helpline regarding diagnosis and cure got the response from call centre totty who confirmed the diagnosis of dribbling and ear/brain sounds (“dringing” is a hallucinatory state, apparently, and there is no actual physical sound on occasion of “dringing” attack although dogs have been known to yelp, bark, and run away). She did stress, though, that not many doctors are aware of this and in partic any recently qualified doc but we knew that anyway as HMG will take anybody with NVQ/GCSE in knitting as doctor. You will not like, however, the helpline’s cure. Lay patient on his/her back (if not there already), remove tongue (that’s what she said…honest) and, if pump not to hand (cf next sentence), get pal to jump on stomach. She did ask postcode location of the victim to ascertain whether nearest A&E likely to have any equipment not previously pawned thus avoiding the more hazardous form of this remedial treatment……………

call my bluff
Weel ma sources tell me that this is a portmanteau word, never heard o' the place though, soondz a though its ain o' them furrin yins. It ackshully is a combination of dry & whinging, as anybody thats spent a Sunday evening in North Wales can tell you, is a state to be avoided! So my interpretation of "no dringing" is .. drink & be merry! Next?

11 o clock drink up time but make it round to one of the night cluns and you can go on till 1.30 am.
I think last time I was drinking and sober enough to look at the time was with Col and we stopped drinking about 11.30 before having a beer on board.

I just want my boat back in the water ;-(
