I\'m off down the boat with me ionizer

I want to see if it'll make me go along. Apparently we've just sent a Smart car to the moon powered by a solar powered ionizer engine, or something like it. It took 18 months to get there, but hey, we're yotties, we're used to taking our time.

Re: I\'m off down the boat with me ionizer

Before you install it make sure you are using the right device:

Ion drive: super technical interstellar spacedrive as pioneered by the USS Enterprise. Not to be confused with Warp drive, unless you're in a reeal hurry.
Ioniser: one of those smelly doodahs you plug into a socket to make the house smell like a public loo.
Ironiser: Someone who makes ironical remarks. See "Scuttlebutt humour" subsection "warped".
Iron Driver: No personal knowledge, I prefer the wrinkly shirts look.
3 Iron: a device for knocking small white balls deep into the woods.
3 wood: similar to above, only less directional.

Hope this helps.

My wife does all the ionizing in this house, so I can't comment. My shirts always look good though.

The Enterprise DID NOT have ion drive for sub light speed engines, it has an impulse drive. Hope that clears that up /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

Don't forget 9 iron, as in "Bent as" to describe a gentleman who is 'good with colours' or perhaps practices their horticulture in a uphill direction.

Absoultey true. When Prof. Stephen Hawking was given a guest tour of the Star Trek set he asked to see the warp drive in the engine room and said "I'm working on that"...../forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

Re: I\'m off down the boat with me ionizer

With reference to:

"...She'll teke noo morre cap'n!"

I love it in old movies set on board ship where sooner or later the captain always rings down for yet more speed, always to be met by a Glaswegian voise from the engine complaining that the old girl's boilers are '... aboot tay burrst!' (cut away to flickering pressure gauge in the red sector) I have always thought it was a master stroke to transpose this entire motif directly on to the Starship Enterprise.

Re: Forget it

Scram Jet. Are you sure? I thought they said Spam Jet. Bit of a bugger winding opening all those tins though
