If you do then I better join the club. I Might need it on the basis that 2 of mine are sail, I think I hear the men in white coats arriving already

Re: Local Councillors needed

I understand your problem. I have several boats too, some of them should be shovelled up into a skip and taken away. Yes we should all club together and get a job-lot price on "counciling"

Your new machine sounds fun though. you just cant beat steel, if you wanna make a modification, or if you dent it, out with the flamecutter and weld a new bit in, slap some paint on. Fantastico! No messing with resin and gunky stuff that needs more than 2 seconds to go hard and comes undone.

Re: Local Councillors needed

I think you all mean 'counselling' unless you are thinking of forming a Council.

Re: Mallappropisums and mispells

Ah, oh I see, right, didn't know that

Seriously, I thort the "policy" was to ignore? Else we wd be here all day, all our lives if we included Haydn. Let's offishully sanction the policy, necessary to retain Hlb's wit and deep insight, spelling mishtakes dont matter?

Re: Mallappropisums and mispells

Does that mean that if I send the wife out soliciting to pay for new boat, she's now a lawyer?

And we won't get into the misspellijg of accountant now will we? (Here comes Nick Rob......"och well I joost have ta sea..)

Re: Mallappropisums and mispells

I ignore common mistakes like adding two LLs to words that only have one. Wilfull, wishfull, hopefull etc. instead of wilful, hopeful, etc. BUT! Councillor gives a different meaning than Counsellor. Picky! picky! but it seems strange that this old wog can spell better than anglo's

While we\'re at it then....

Ahem, I knew counciling wasn't right, so I used inverted commas, but didn't take issue beyond that. But surely Byron you mean "different from", not "different than". And Anglo's what, may I ask?

Suggest stop right here else will wake hlb

 

[peterg]

than or from...

I think 'different than' is the American usage as I have only noticed it over the last few years and was brought up to think 'different from' in my youth.

Just as well Matts not here otherwise this would get completely out of hand ;-)

Re: than or from...

Agree it is US. I'm not fussed really, just toucheing (despite the fact touche is not a verb)

Re: While we\'re at it then....

I thought you lot were 'Anglos' and my lot were 'Bubbles' ;-)

Re: Yup....

Oh dear. Yup that's exactly the point Byron, Anglos not Anglo's. See?

Had enuf now. Let's talk about toilets

 

[byron]

Re: Yup....

OK! Toilets! With an average sea toilet how many Poos does one get before the rubbers need changing. Do Wees count toward the toilet useage?

Re: Yup....

Byron,
Don't buy cheap loo roll from Lidyl, my nearest and dearest (next to boat) bought some, it was like kitchen roll (doesn't break down when wet) now have to strip loo to clear blockage. D'OH!!

Re: toilet usage

Surely it depends on how much booze has been ( one way or another ) put down
or how hot the curry was !!
