What happened to good old egg & cress and ham & pickle? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

And as for drink, what do you mean you DON'T drink beer only cocktails. That means I will have to bring the ice maker, ice crusher, blender & juicer /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Never mind I did ask /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
Sorry, it seems we now have two full crews
lol.gif


Try next year /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
We can bring the good ship lollipop round if you tell us where your launching to act as recovery vessel when the incident(s) occur.
Will also have on board Mrs Unit 18 and Albert to add to your list, Cheryl is fine on Krug as it does'nt make her overly violent and Albert considers it a pleasure to eat anything and has a strange fondness of Freds legs.
Oh, and Mainship Tom is'nt a million miles away, and always has an ample supply of nourishment on board.
 
Great idea Unit18, swmbo could do with moral support, her and Cheryl can look after the Krug /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif. Albert is more than welcome, I am sure he will not be sea sick in my new boat /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif. I am trying to round up my regular launch partner Derek, so if you are reading this Del come along and bring swmbo.

Only one problem, this is starting to look like the first forum xmas party /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif. And I am paying /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif what the hell as long as we all come with a fun attitude it will be a cracking afternoon /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
 
Don't worry I'm sure we will be bringing supplies!
Whats the location so that I can check tides as our 5 star marina berth turns to mud at low tide.
 
Pete, already booked my place, I have my Captains hat, radio licence, marriage licence, TV licence, divorce licence pending, and finally my Power Boat water-ski racing licence, we are going to do a quick lap with a volunteer on a racing ski aren't we ????? plus I have been in and out of Chatham lock more times than you can shake a stick at, now for the brighter member on this forum where did that saying come from ?
 
This 19th-century Americanism now means "an abundance"; but its
original meaning is unclear. Suggestions have included "more than
one can count" (OED, AHD3), "more than one can threaten" (Charles
Earle Funk), and "more than one can believe" (Dictionary of American
English). No one of these seems easy to reconcile with all the
following citations: "We have in Lancaster as many taverns as you
can shake a stick at." (1818) "This was a temperance house, and
there was nothing to treat a friend to that was worth shaking a
stick at." (David Crockett, Tour to the North and Down East,
1835) "Our queen snake was [...] retiring, attended by more of her
subjects than we even dared to shake a stick at." (1843) "I have
never sot eyes on anything that could shake a stick at that."
(= "set eyes on anything that could compare with that", 1843)
"[...] Uncle Sam [...] has more acres than you can throw a stick
at." (1851) "She got onto the whappiest, biggest, rustiest yaller
moccasin that ever you shuck er stick at." (1851)
 
Pete, Anne has just suggested that a cauldron of hot soup would go down well on the day, all we need is 2 boy scouts to rub together to start a fire and we are set.

I have arranged for the Dockyard pipe band to be at the lock to pipe you in, do you think that is over the top, Dan said it would be ok.
 
Launch will be around 2pm next Friday, I will PM everyone by next Thursday with details of the meeting point which will be 30 mins before blast off /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif. Just REMEMBER what happens on the slipway, stays on the slipway /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif And I don't mean wreckage /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Ok, Anyone know the details for the local Salvation Army, they could serve soup at the launch and then hang about for the disaster scene management, we may need those silver foil cloaks as well /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Who's telling porkies, Web Cam, I don't think so, in fact I know so.
 
Sorry,and always happy to get cold wet and windswept but off to Battle on Sat. 5th. For the the noisy dragging of a few burning oil drums down the High St. and (O bliss) lots of loud noisy fireworks. Oldgit (SN).
 
Ive hired a liferaft for the day, and ile bring that together with the matches for the 80 galls of petrol. This sounds /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif better than guy fawkes
 
/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Where is that camera, I have never seen it, I guess we need a large towel or something on the day to ensure privacy /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
Could you do with a bit of help from 'The Boys'? You know, perimeter security, checking onlookers for cameras, 'knocking out' security cameras, signage showing route to venue, route clearance, so emergency services have a clear run - that sort of thing?

You haven't taken up my offer to have WRVS on call, to provide tea and other light refreshments.

What about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, have you thought about that? Probably get a volume discount.
