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.

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

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.
