I have just observed Tony (boat 1), Phil (Pande), Chris D., Chris (Pheran) filling their faces with scones, cream and jam.

Did they offer me any? NO! they were too busy gobbling it down as fast as possible.

So as not to put temptation in your way. You know we always have your best interests at heart!:)
 
Really Byron, I do believe your outbursts are becoming more outrageous by the post.
Maybe nobody did offer you any, I know I didnt because I was a guest and I wouldnt have dreamed of doing so.

However, I do know that everyone there would have assumed that you would have known it was there for the taking if you felt so inclined - no need to stand on ceremony :D

BTW - charming grandson you have but you need to teach him how to handle a rope :D

Excellent weekend with the Oxford Ditch crowd and good to meet Pheran in the flesh, so to speak.

I'm surprised you didn't mention your success in the raffle Tony. There's no shame in mentioning you won a couple of excellent prizes - including the much sought-after Bag of Lettuce! :)
 
Only One Rope ???

So far as I know there are several ropes on a boat (ship?).
The Bell rope, of course, but what about the boat ropes from the lifeboats to the deck (they are not referred to as lines) and the man ropes for the pilot ladders ?
And not forgetting the rope's end used by the bosun to discipline the crew !
 
Warps and other things

Amazing that in the future spaceships will be powered by bits of old rope ...sorry warps
