Guess wot happened next ]

A huge gust of wind caused the rudder to stall and the pretty yacht broached badly throwing its occupants into the water and careering onto the shore line where the yacht grounded. A large ship passing down the Orwell in attempting to miss the two sailors in the water, failed and ran them over and also ran out of control onto the pretty yacht wrecking it. The resulting collision caused the highly imflammable deck cargo to explode bringing down the Orwell Bridge and two hundred motorists perished before the road could be closed. In the other direction, the tidal wave from the explosion ran down river and drowned all the cars in the car park of the Butt and Oyster and caused a tidal surge in SYH causing all the pontoons to come loose from their anchorages and wreck the entire marina. Running on, the tidal wave went on into Felixstowe where it caused three large container ships to capsize in the harbour closing the port for two months and loosing 39000 containers. The financial shock of these losses, caused the stock market to collapse, the recovery to end and plunged the economy of the UK into recession which in turned hastened the economy of the EU in another recession. David Cameron vowed vengence on the pretty yacht and passed immediate legislation banning all recreation sailing on the coast of the UK for ever putting thousands of marina workers out of work and leaving owners with thousands of worthless yachts.:encouragement:

Perhaps, but his was the most entertaining answer by far. :encouragement:

 

[tillergirl]

Err, I think I got the aground bit right first. Init close enough? I got the gist of it right!

[sailorman]

OMG I thought Tillergirl was telling the truth. I'll never trust anything he says again.

You poor sod.......I have laid a laminate floor throughout a flat, have just started fitting the bloody kitchen, have yet to tile the bathroom floor, then fit the bloody bathroom, then the bloody skirting throughout the flat, then the bloody architrave.

"What about a small patio"

Then lay a small bloody patio.

"I think we'll need to remove the front lawn and lay terraced gravel for low maintenance.

Then I do the front bloody garden.

So no, that wasn't me on the Orwell today, or last weekend, or next weekend
