First prize is a day with Jimi
Second prize is a week with him....?

Oh God! if sounds awful but sadly awfully likely to be true. Who are the potty people who'll be taking part?

Re: Megagroan

It'll be the MoBo lot. Much more their kind of thing, you know, big busted girls on gin palace type power boats.

Damn should have booked my flight out of here before posting.

The auditions are this Saturday. I received a flyer for it in with the latest newsletter from Premier.

I can't see where they are going to put the 'island' at Port Solent without it being a hazard to navigation.

Glad we're moving the boat to Gosport at Easter!

Suspect a static object there will be much less dangerous than the many mobile dangers emmitting from there!!!

Re: Megagroan

I saw Peter Snow in Torquay Marina Chandlers- he's quite tall ( or I'm short). He really does sail. There was an article by him in one of the magazines a while ago. ( sorry- you probably already know that)

Hi Alex

He did some sailing in that excellent series he did with his son on investigating and recreating ancient battles.

He was also the anchorman on the Americas cup coverage. Great bloke with his infectous enthusiasm.

Passers-by and boaters in the marina can vote on what the contestants eat and what mental, physical and skills tasks they perform each day.

This is excellent; Olde F@rte's Almanac predicts the following:

<ul type="square"> The Fray Bentos trial: contestants are forced to eat mouthfuls of stomach-churning ingredients, whilst being taunted by men with comedy northern accents

I'm a Yachtmaster; get me out of here!: RYA certificated mariners are bamboozled by the task of creating and executing a passage plan to leave Newtown Creek in good visibility at MHWS

Women wrestling in mud: Do I have to elaborate? May need to be filmed on the East Coast. Participant suggestions (with photo) by P.M. please

Just a Minnow: Participants have to continue contributing to a thread initiated and maintained by St*v* 101, H*ppy1 and jimi. Usual rules apply, with penalties for hesitation, repetition and deviation (compasses may not be swung during this game)

The price is wrong: Contestants guess the value of a trolley full of purchases from a South coast Yacht Chandlery. [/list]

Further suggestions gratefully received; I can see the royalty cheques already.......

Re: Megagroan

Yeh, but I dont think you would see him in a Sunseeker!

Why the East Coast?

Mudlarking is a favorite sport at Hardway during the summer, and the idea of large chested ladies mud wrestling, would I am sure increase the takings at Explosion! nearby
