Found a Rock Kawasaki Hasn't clunked!

[The Binman]

Meant to post this here for the N.Wales lot to see.
(You all seem to be here in the "Tap Room" instead of the "Lounge"


So, its the S-in-L's birthday
(Sister in law not son.....not that old)
Old bird but still game
60.......
Party with a Salsa theme
"Basic forward
"Basic back
"Cucaracha
"Cucaracha
"Shimmy Shimmy

Quite good if i say so meself

Plenty of food and drink taken, Again salsa themed.

Next morning.(Sunday) Sore head, bum like a dragons nostril (Chile beans)

Whole party, down to Dylans in Menai

(great place, thoroughly recommend it. Their breakfast stack or breakfast pancake are to die for.......................literally!)

More klestrol than two jags could handle!

So, from the balcony I see Kwacker in the oggin, doing his thang!
PB 2 he's probably told his punters. looks like circuits and bumps to me!

Hmm, thinks Binny, blast out up the Straits, just the thing to clear me head
Give Kwacker a call, see him fumbling in his jacket, comes out with his I pod thingy
"Kwacker old boy, ows about a RIb ride"
"Bit Busy, meself" he says "But you can borrow the Aircraft if you like"

Top Bloke is Kwacker, known him most of my life, (So it seems)
Taught me all he knows about the straits and the rocks he has dinked
Even did me PB2 with him
Drove the boat on some of his RIB rides when he was busy in the summer
Top Bloke!

SO.....................
loaded boat up with hungover party goers and said S-I-L and bombed off at 40+K.
Saluted Nelson.
Navigated the Swellies.................High tides...........4 foot standing wave
4 foot "hole" in front of it!!
Checked out Oswald Moseley's house (different salute)
Checked out Roger Moores's penthouse apartment
Checked out the meerkats at SIR Alec Fergusons (Allegedly) summer house

All the stars in North Wales yunno..........ferget Cans and St Trop!

So...............I',m about two cables off Alecs place
(How long is a cable BTW?)

When theres a bit of a clunk from the r's end
(swift check on the depth and I am showing 2m but I guess theres a rock)

B**l**ks!

(Err Kwacker might have mine!)

back to PD, seemd to be ok............

Tied up and checked the prop.



So rang Kwacker last night................
Timing is important and managed to get him halfway down the bottle of Bells I'd already slipped him

He was quite affable when I told him, Id rubbished his prop!

F word
C word
B word
Even the Q word!

Offered to pay obviously, probably just polish out anyway but he'll tell me it needs replacement and its a "special" and charge me a fortune which'll just go in the amber liquid fund!

But Hey................Top bloke is Kwacker!

Give you the shirt off his back ()

A real gentleman, not many of them left yunno.

And to those who say he aint got a proper job, I say, rubbish, (Binman!) he has a very, very important job.

Many thanks Kwacker, your a star. Made a memorable weekend for us which will be remembered for a long time.

Er, I thought the great man didn't "clunk" rocks: just smoothed the tops off them.

You are not kidding! Cymrogwylt is suggesting on the lounge thread that the going rate for this sort of mishap is a GALLON of Johnnie Walker Red label

He'll hibernate until spring................... like an old bear,...................... may not be bad thing

That stuff's an insult to a whisky drinker!

I'm not sure Kwacker is so fussy! Saw him coming out of Tesco t'other day with what can only be described as "cooking" whisky

 

[Kawasaki]

Listen ere yer w%nker, flattery will get you everywhere
But a Gallon of firewater will get you----- Hmm, off the hook?
Naw
But will go a long way towards it
About 4 cables off I reckon
Anyway
Today
Feck me it was blowing
Gusting 47
How do I know that accurately?
Scientific Studies from over the years that's how
As I ventured down the gang plank to the Berth to view the wankered whisk
Me hat nearly blew off
An that takes 47 kts
Tested and tried

Being an agile superfit Pensioner (feck off you lot) plus my reflexes are still as sharp as the blade on a knackered prop I managed to save me at, else Binny, more on the Invoice
That would have put the Top Hat onnit innit (oh, poor pun not intended) before I viewed the damage propulser
Anyway
I reckon it's a fifty fifty job ref salvage
It was that rough down there today I couldn't really get a decent squint at the bent aluminium
See
The Binman had parked the vessel nose in
So I had to teeter along the tubes of me rib
and 'dangle' me athletic frame over the a3rse end whilst clinging on to the A Frame.
WELL
I nearly split me kipper
I lost balance, cos whilst I was blimping said f7cked feather, a trawler or some kinda big thing (must av been big cos no smalls ones out today) sent a Tidal wave inter the dock.
I had one leg on the Tube and tother on the Pontoon finger
The second half of Binny's tip of Bells is just starting to null the pain in me Kipper!
There is a Lot to answer for here
Should I contact those peeps who keep advertising
'Have You had an accident in the last 5 years'
I think my 'Manhood' may be damaged
Never mind the battered Prop
Are there any decent Lawyers on ere?

After this weekend
I shall no longer have to sup that Tesco 'paint stripper'
Well for a Week or Two
Hactually
It is a better remedy than wot me Doc gives me for My insomniac probs
Plus
Yer know them barnacles that are persistant on yer hull an the knagery bits around yer outdrive that 'klingon'
Fecks them off bigstyle

 

[Searush]

If you want a "cooking scotch" ya won't go far wrong with a litre of Highland Earl @ £14.99 from Aldi. It is an excellent blend, very similar to the hard to find Ballantyne's which retails at twice that price.

£14.99 ?

I dithered when Tesco bilge cleaner went to £10.75!
But good Advice My Bearded Friend
However
Due to the Negligence
Lousy Seamanship
Total
Neglect of Duties
Etc Etc Etc
Of My
'Wastrel' Friend

I am hoping My Palett might be Educated
'prop' er style

Holy Cow! I can see this knackered prop is going to cost me big style. Luckily I "put down" a cask of the finest Irish whisky at the Bushmills distillery about ten years ago when I was working for a living and earning proper wedge, although that might be wasted on trying to edumicate Kwackers palate

Feck me, next thing he'll be claiming money for the severe whiplash in his sore neck. Caused when Little Ship said "It's my round" in the Liverpool Arms

Oh, and when he fell in that £5000 wad of notes that he keeps in his back pocket just in case he comes across another Ribeye going cheap

Oh, and the genuine Rolex Submariner he bought off a one eyed sailor in Singapore for £20.00 and a roll-up!

Bloody Hell!
I did by a Rolex Submariner once dead cheap
Off a Bloke with perfect eyesight who didn't smoke roll ups by the way
How the heck did you know that?
It's weird how things Pan Out
I was a bit skint a few years ago and the Rolex came to the 'rescue'
By then it was a bit of a sad timepiece
My Lad had drowned Me Cherokee ( used to launch and recover, another Story) therefore I had to get another vehicle
The Rolex was used to 'barter' for a Pajero
So I was 'launchable' agin for 300 Sobs and 'The Watch'
So
That was 5 years ago
The Pajero was sold yesterday!
For 650
Don't need a Rolex or that kinda posh stuff anyway now
Plenty of time on me hands as a Pensioner now
Now don't think that lets thee off the hook Binny
Watch it M8
This is not the Final Ticking Off

(snip)

14.99 a LITRE that's less than 10.75 for 70cl AND it's a decent blend too.

I know it's writ in Saes, wots not your chosen tongue, but do try to pay attention old chap!

 

[The Binman]

Hmm............Just heard from Kwacker that the clunked prop won't "polish up"
Major Catastrophe!

I dont think I am going to get away with Tesco "Bilge Cleaner" or Aldi "Teak Stain"

Looking like a VAT of a serious single malt or Pussers or Bushmills or,or, (perish the thought) Penderyn!

Pearls before swine, (no offence Kwacker!)

Hello folks,

Good to see your being kept busy Kwaka (even if it's only drinking). Hope your all well (Kwaka, Searush, et al)?

Bugger thats a posting from the past...How are you and are you joining in on the water again soon

[Take5]

Hello Tom,

I'm OK (at best, lol). Unfortunately, our days of boating are over for the foreseeable future, though we may well go down the narrow-boat route when the kids flee the nest (or are forceably removed).

I do miss it though (hence bobbing my head in here), and we quite often talk about that weekend at the Ty Coch and the after party on Little Ship.

How are you doing mate?

There is to be another (boatless) gathering at The Red Fox, Tarporley (7.30 for 8pm) on 7th of Dec contact Steve (TSB240) to add your names to the booking.
