Can someone explain to me what the point of Instagram is?

Sure. It's retro, cool, and anti-progress. I'm all for it, in fact I have some great ideas myself...

Big fishbowl black and white filter screens you stick to our plasma telly, possibly complemented by a metre deep false plastic back...
Drum brake upgrade kits for your car, with the optional brake servo blanking plate
Retro non breathable V neck foulies and lace up lifejackets
A dongle which converts your plotter to DF and reinstates ch88 on your VHF
Headphone filter for your iPod to give you the required hiss, possibly with 33/45 button
A handy drawing of the roads linking towns with lots of pages in a sort of book thingy to promote "discussions" with SWMBO when trying to drive somewhere on holiday
Retro camping kit complete with 97kg leaky canvas tent, lethal spring loaded deckchairs, pressured hydrogen potassium powered plasma gas light which burns hotter than the core of the sun, a cooker which although fuelled by the same system is only marginally hotter than a domestic cat on a radiator, and perfectly rectangular nylon sleeping bags with a barbed wire zip system.

Pah! Progress eh?

HHHHmmmm ... (spots Bavaria and smiles) HA HA HA ...(evil laugh) how about boats made from WOOD, with long length (attached) keels that support their rudders, that dont fall over when the wind blows over 20 knots... or is that just too retro ?

Pah ! Progress indeed

You guys are no fun!

It's wot the youngsters like.

Take a perfectly exposed, composed, and technically spot on image with no noise, shot on a camera that cost £3500.... And make it look like it was taken on a 110 cartridge 30 years ago.

How much better is that!

Anyways... Here is a picture of my NEW boat being tested out today...

Annoyingly instagrammed as well...
