Clyde Scuttlebutt meet up. April

[LittleShip]

Ey-up LittleShip ...... I've posted this video (yes ... I know it's been posted on many threads before) ..... in answer to your question:

Ok, I had to watch it to the end and now I understand..... You would like to try and surf behind Little Ship....... Well I'm willing but I think it will be more of a drag around at maybe 9knts.

Tom.

Just a wee bump......

 

[Lady_Stormrider]

Lady_Stormrider ..... I'll just have to sing some 'foot-stomping' songs then to stop you falling asleep!

& A great big SORRY for not making it onto your team last time (not that I would of been much help). As I would of just enjoyed being on the winning team for once!

You must be an/the/our Oracle ..... if you can predict the weather seven weeks in advance .... now our Simon has his work cut-out for him ..... and if you can predict six winning numbers for moi! ..... I'll give you half! .....

What I meant to say was The weather is looking grim for this coming weekend - which I did get correct - I am now re-programming that Russian Weather Satellite for Easter.

 

[OGITD]

I am now re-programming that Russian Weather Satellite for Easter.

& I believe you .....
Which means you know 'code' better than our Nathan!
And Russian! WOW!..... I did know someone (Jimmy B) who worked on the 'Headache' project between the late thirties & early forties who knew Russian (sadly passed-on).... but now I have access to a lovely person from St Petersburgh who can help me out with this ..... so! .... for our next quiz can I request the 'phone a friend' option?

 

[PeteCooper]

Has anybody contacted Cumbraes Watersports Centre to check that the bar will be open that night and that we are welcome?

You can't book but yes I have advised them and I'm waiting on confirmation that the bar will be open.

Just use your emergency ae all season (like Gannet) last year. You DO have one , don't you?

Since I added my new one, thanks for the help Ash, I now have an emergency spare on the pushpit.

It's more and more likely that we will be in the Clyde (still) when this happens, I'll be fed up if we are though.

 

[Spyro]

Confirmation received. They know we are coming and my request for the bar to be open has been noted.

 

[PeteCooper]

Thanks Spyro - much appreciated.

 

[OGITD]

Nope! ..... but I do have a new-ish HH VHF in 'me-grab-bag' ..... & OFCOM even wanted it's details on their DB.

Plus new strings for my 'Ge-Tarr' ..... but almost every time I pick it up the strings sound OK .... but I just need to keep my 'happy-head' on (I must be related to Kryten) to sing some good tunes ..... otherwise it's just a depressive 'black cloud' & a case of alcoholic amnesia!

 

[Clyde_Wanderer]

depressive 'black cloud' & a case of alcoholic amnesia!

Is it really alcohol induced
C_W

 

[OGITD]

Yep!

Is it really alcohol induced

Usually ...... followed by many a famous quote/question:

1, Never again!
2, Why does my head hurt so much?
3, Why is everybody shouting?
4, Who was sick in my boots?
5, No I definitely don't want a fried breakfast.
6, OK! ... who thought my cockpit was the heads!?
7, Whose boat am I on?
8, Where's my boat?
9, We didn't did we?
10, Who drank all my best Malt?
11, Who's that asleep in the forepeak/heads/galley?
12, Who's got the Brufen?
13, Who's got the Parkin?
14, Ahhhh! ... Tea!
15, I'm off to see Shirley! .......

 

[Billjratt]

John. Look around yourself closely.
If you can find a cable that looks as if it's leading towards the Moon, give it a tug!
No, don't try to reel in the Moon, t'other way.
Harder.
That's better isn't it.
Don't worry, sitting will get easier in a few days.

C U @ lift-in.

 

[Spyro]
