How big is yours and do you illuminate it at night?

[benjenbav]

Well, The flash mobo is one thing..... But the good vicar making a DOUBLE ENTEDRE in his thread title!

That is shocking!

It does rather call to mind the lady who asked the barman for a double entendre and so he gave her one.

 

[sighmoon]

Is that the Marie Curie?

Firstly I knew exactly what I was saying in my thread title, and I thought it might amuse..

Secondly, the bar man double entendre line is my favourite joke! It tickles me because I think its clever and funny.... well IHMO anyway..

I should think an enterprising clerk in holy orders could get a whole sermon out of that picture, based on Matthew 7: 1-5

“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye."

Once I looked beyond the superficial, I saw a beautifully kept boat in respect of which the most disturbing thing was the dock line. Clearly tied by someone who has an interest in maritime matters and yet you just wouldn't, would you?...I mean, of course, leave the bitter end on the dock cleat rather than on the boat.

Actually, I'd probably go for Luke 12:13-21. But yours is good too!

In defence of the good rev.

If I see an opportunity for a good double entendre I always slip it in.

The thing looks radioactive to me .... don't go near it !!

 

[Bru]

One can't help wondering why the marina manager hasn't quietly tripped the shore power and smugly watched the lighting fade away for surely that lot cannot be running on batteries for very long

 

[david_bagshaw]

bad luck for the nearest boat, as it probably encourages fouling

 

[oldgit]

Those lights darlings,cost £800.00 each ... and no self respecting "MED" moboer would be seen dead without at least three,just be grateful that everyone gets a chance to endure ,sorry enjoy,having the night blitzed out of existance even tho the owner is 3 thousand miles away

 

[BurnitBlue]

i think the lights look really cool and neat. However, it could be the opening scene for a horror movie. Just imagine a monster eight legged Kraken crawling along the harbour sea bed intent on eating such a tasty looking deep sea fish. Scene shifts to the interior where the lonely eighteen year old blue eyed blond girl charged with boat watch duties feels the first nudge. "Hello, is there anyone there?", as the plucky girl goes to the stern and shines a torch into the water. Aaaaaaagh.

 

[Toutvabien]

I understand that there is a petition to make these lights compulsory for all resident boats in Brightlingsea. Visitors will be able to rent them by the night.

Wearing a white nightie. The girl . . . . not the Kraken

 

[Uricanejack]

I usualy don't bother with lights.
I thought it was rather nice, Quite tastefull. I would like some for my boat.

 

[Uricanejack]

That's ok then - I did only catch a little of it as I was getting ready to ride to work ...

Shortly after I passed my driving test I was sent on a skidpan course ... very valuable IMHO.

Shortly after I passed my driving test. I rolled my dads car. It was the first time I'd driven it. He was sitting right beside me. He thought it was a great idea to get me to drive home after a few with his pals.
For some strange reason he never ever let me drive his car again.

 

[Woodlouse]

It's not a very big boat. Where the hell is the tankage for the fuel for 1400 horsepower?

I suppose it's intended for very short, very fast journeys.

 

[rustybarge]

Mbm Reality check: This Mobo is a perfect example of exactly what Raggie's think about all power boat owners.....

There may be some truth in that ! I find it offensive that these chavs have the thing on a timer to light up when they're not even there, it must be jacking up the shore power charge for normal people with brains and taste and I've always thought we were supposed not to waste electricity...

 

[Athene V30]

as the plucky girl goes to the stern and shines a torch into the water. Aaaaaaagh.

You need to get out more

 

[MASH]

I'd have thought the electricity bill is insignificant compared to the gigantic petrol consumption. 1400hp, so what, 70GPH?

A very clear demonstration of extreme ego, little man/little willy syndrome and a complete absence of taste.
