Lessons Learned

[Das_Boot]

I have learned a lot in the short time I have been using the forum.

1. Gas will kill you don’t even take a cigarette lighter below.
2. Don’t mention the pope it will create a stink
3. Nobody understands the law pertaining to small craft.
4 Bligh’s descendants are alive and well and living on this forum.
5 The greatest Frenchman of all time was Peter Sellers.
6. Lots of people hate Tony Blair.
7. Most advice is as contradictory as the Pellopanesian wars.
8 The British are the greatest inflatable thieves in the world.
9. Don’t use a non-de plume that is vaguely German.
10. Trollanoia is a word that should be inserted into the oxford dictionary.
11. My weather forecasting skills are crap but I am in good company.

I know I have forgotten something but like my spelling my memory is bad.
I am sure there is someone out there who will add to the list or prove me wrong on every item.

[Das_Boot]

Yep you are right I am sure there are more lurking out there.

 

[powerskipper]

Black puddings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Das_Boot]

Black Puddings what is the meaning of that? You must forgive my ignorance I hope it was not mean in a racial manner.

By the way dont ever ever mention the war and before you ask that means any war especialy the one going on at the moment.

Well it's heartening to read that you are actually learning something!

You seem to have forgotten that a boat needs a skipper in charge - or do we need to work on that one a little more?

[powerskipper]

Jimi nnnnnoooooooooooooooooo!!!!

Scotch pies and baked beans - throw them in the microwave for a few minutes - much quicker than FB and taste better too especially if one throws in a few slices of black pudding....... Getting hungry now - off to the boat....

I detest fray bentos but did not need the forum to learn that.
As for the skipper thingey read the post on MOBO re 3 people charged with manslaughter or the one I posted yesterday however that one is a bit confusing.
YOU might learn something.

 

[Aeolus_IV]

Can I generalise one of them?

If you recognise a hornets nest, don't go prodding it with sticks.

I have read the Mobo thread and your own on here, which just reinforces the point, IMHO. But let's not go into it again on here - its Friday and I need to wind down for the weekend!

 

[Das_Boot]

Are you trying to imply that the forum is a hornets nest. There are some people who might take offence.

Was it something I said?

 

[cliff]

And Das_Boot puts his foot in it again - insulting other forumites and better then that an innocent one that was not even posting - how crass can one get.

[powerskipper]

not a hornets nest

more a place with some very opinionated people , and a few who like to wind them up.

some of the threads mentioned above either got pulled or reached to 200 odd posts.

 

[Das_Boot]

I am in good company then.
Sorry Fray Bentos I did not realise that it was you they were talking about I thought they meant the black gloop in a jar.
What kind of a name is Fray Bentos anyway....why?

 

[dralex]

CLiff- I'm surprised at you forgetting to add the obligatory wash down with a couple of pints of back stuff.

 

[Swagman]

Not sure Das Boot - if you are setting us all up on that question re Fray Bentos????????

Though most sailors knew - it's the name of the busiest south american port from where corned beef was shipped to the motherland?
