Etiquette Question

[Chris_Robb]

What to wear

My dear boy - you have obviously had a seriously deprived upbringing. Open cockpits are for the underprivaledged classes only.

You packing list should include:

1 dinner jacket for dinner at the Squadron
1 pair shinny shoes to see up things...
1. bottle decent single malt - not decanted - rum will do though
1 pr Carpet slippers with monogram in gold thread.

There are plenty of jobs on board reserved for the lower members of the crew order - need I spell them out?????

As for 2 stories - yes - this boat was referred to as the block of flats by the RSYC when it came second in the Solent Cherbourg double a few years back.

Look forward to seeing you on board

As the agreived person - these guys do not appereciate real comfort. I'll have them all selling their miserable open cockpit boats for something more sensible.....

Re: Ken, you need serious help here.

Spot on Andrew - jealousy will get you no where.

I am looking at welcoming on board the good ship Corsair the afore named Twister Ken. However he has seriously bogged up his position in the pecking order by showing his serious lack of understanding of etiquette - which you are so obviously so well practised and aware. My blaser is indeed covered with Muligatawny soup, and an old capoc life jacket from the Marie Celeste takes pride of place in our modern wardrobe of life stopping equipment.

Oh dear - I wonder if this was all a good idea???

When running through morning reveille I'm normally checking for the following.
Comfortable slippers - tartan with a fleece lining
Matching socks - preferably silk - and clean each day
Y Fronts - clean each day - preferably white
Corduroy (brown) or faded pink cotton yachting slacks
Faded blue cotton denim shirt
Dark Blue Cardigan with duffle buttons
not really too keen on headwear but perhaps a litttle breton number.
Hope that helps

Why do you wear brown cordoroys? Is it in case it rains?

<hr width=100% size=1>.. its life but not as we know it ..

Crusties

Your sooo wrong - Clean Y fronts not a good idea as death due to exposure of lower parts once a day is likely. Result is that pants kept for long periods - hence Portsmouth expression - Crusties.

Its alright - i'll be bringing the trusty Springer - Badger - well known round Haslemere pubs for laying false scent trails.

deliberate ploy to flush out pedants

Why can't you spell corduroy when Claymore's just shown you how?

I'm beginning to have my doubts. Bring your own muesli. No grapenuts. No bottle of wine in the evening....
