Re: Fairly pathetic haul

I went down to our health club with my wife after Christmas (New years resolution etc) Spent some time in the gym then agreed to meet up in the jacuzzi.

Wandered into the swimming pool to find her indoors already in the jacuzzi with Jamie Rednapp, Micheal Owen and Nick Barmby!!

Shes not stopped smiling since
 
Re: Frank Middlemass

Score one point each for timothy west and prunella scales. No points for Frank middlemass, who (esp since you didn't know his name) isn't famous. No pints at all for Dr Spock of baby face (tho Leonard Nimoy doing some locks on the thames would score three!)
 
*I-spy famous people: count your points*

NB
* They have to be on a floating boat at some point during the sighting
* No fibbing or obviously making it up (eg coliholics Henry 8th)
* boat show sightings score half

Other dubious royalty-ish types : 3 points

Really famous film people 4 points eg Charlton Heston, Marlon Brando, any US

Norway)

Quite famous world and current UK famous people: 2 points eg leading

Re: No additional bouancy aids required

Or that it was pissing down with rain.

does this count?

SWMBO's cousin is Peter Davison (Dr Who, Tristan in that vet thing, Braithwaites etc etc) and he had a Shadow 26 a few years back but now has a narrowboat I think and his best mate Dennis Waterman had a boat on the Thames some years ago too
 
Re: I once saw...

Well if that is the case then I should be loaded with points as Ollie used to come to our American Football annual pee up every year therefore, he has bought me loads of drinks and I have bought him loads of drinks far too numerous to mention so I win by at least 10,000,000,000,000 point cos you know how much ollie used to put away. Also he got into a fight once with some bloke who ducked his punch and Ollie ended up hitting his girlfreind on the follow thru which started a real big punch up so I get more points for that as I baled in.

Declared victorious.

Ps God rest his soul abs. fab bloke sorely missed.
 
Re: Ollie Ockley

but there wer'nt any boats about at the time.
