Great Issue of PBO...

[bigmart]

Caught you. I'm quicker than that. It take the rapier wit of a Raggie & you Stinkies just can't cut the mustard.

I can see you'll soon be taking up a position of great importance with that national standard 'The Star'

While your little icon on p46 of PBO maybe small compared to Nicho's starring role on the front page, you are undoubtably of far more epic stature, and hence you picture is larger in proportion.

Anyway, getting back to nationalities, I'm indeed Welsh, though as you can gather by my name (pure County Kerry) I am allowed to indulge in poteen, and indeed privy to the secret recipes of this glorious county, and indeed can tell County Kerry jokes without receiving a well deserved beating - that's a threat by the way

Ah yes BUT, I not only featured on the front cover, BUT I also featured in the inner pages, AND some 400 words were devoted to my thoughts...... a real coup I think. There were also, three other pictures of me in various poses on the inner pages (113,114,116) at the helm of a Bavaria 36, AND I was also helming for no less than David Harding, PBO's boat tester!! This January issue is currently exchanging hands on Ebay for £200, though signed copies fetch a lot more. (Even Madman cannot equal that with all his Bavaria exploits).

Game set and match I believe!!

Actually I thought the Sport may be more appropriate. They always seem to have somewhere comfy to lay your head when you not writing.

I did not intend to denigrate Nicho's PBO entry, I was merely suggesting mine was of a similar quality for different reasons. As to nationalities I reckon you would claim to be Bulgarian with a touch of Ukrain if they had someting Alchoholic worth drinking.

Well ther you go then. No ghost writers were needed for my prose. Everything there was direct from my pen. Edited to hell but direct from my pen.

Ebay is a grossly overated selling medium. I am confident that, given a year or two Sothebys will be knocking on my door.

But my wife keeps reassuring me that size is not important - it's more to do with your position........

I didn't realise you'd already met my stinkie friends Duncan (Bulgarian) and Forbsie (Ukranian)

Anyway, I'm not letting you and Nicho get away with these journalistic pretensions. I have myself appeared in IPC's motorboating magazines on at least three occasions.

Weren't those issues withdrawn from print.

My wife told me that too. Then she told me my position was under the thumb.

I guess it's all about whether your big up top, or have lots of propulsion low down.

Hmm, boats are the same aren't they!
