Ahem, well, further to my ripping into rpthomas who slightly plugged his company at New Year.

Now, instead of him crawling down a hole or runing away e-crying as is usual following one of my er only-partially-justified giagantically ott e-biffings...he's been Pm'ing me nicley! And he's gone and done something about his website and everything else too! Which is pretty good innit? Yes. In fact, it's quite wonderful, cos all he'll need is a few more moany gits like me (or perhaps hardly any at all actually) and his company will be pretty much utterly perfect.

I reckon that any company that will shift its backside and say well, Mr slightly moany tightwad pedantic git tcm sir, that's actually a good point or two you have made there we'll do something about it - deserves some success eh? Cos that response means that they *aren't* like most outfits saying ooh no, i'm afraid our standard fixed-in-stone unwavering policy is to do the worst job we can get away with for the most money we can extract from you, sir, and always has been.

Of course,all those rubbish companies have very able staff who go above and beyond the call of duty, act on their own iniaitive, find new and better ways of doing things and evaluate advice good and bad EXCEPT at work, for some reason, mostly the rubbish management. But clearly this doesn't apply to yachtmovers, it would seem.

So anyway {clears throat} , "If you want a yacht delivery company that is a bit different from the usual overpriced cack-handed slovenly late-and-miserable normal marine industry average, you might try Yachtmovers, and although I haven't actually tried them myself the omens are quite good, and even if they are a new or newish company the people themselves will have the qualifications they need I suppose so thinking about it, in that respect they'd be just the same as any other delivery types but probably making just thatlittle bit of extra effort - and also possibly cheaper too on account of their HQ being rpthomas's house instead of a wasteful big poncy office with its horrid non-PC big carbon footprint which is another good reason to try them and will make up a bit for you er having a big boat, although on the other hand i can't guranatee they will always be the cheapest, obviously, but they might haggle, perhaps, a bit, but not too much, be reasonable. "

Wow! How about that for a newYachtmovers slogan eh, rpthomas? I expect you'll be pm'ing me next to ask if it's ok to use it, hm? Well no, it flippin well isn't! You'll have to make up your own catchy slogan for chrissakes cos i've given you *quite* enough help already, harumph.

Oh alright, since it's near Christmas you *can* use it. But no more cheesy slightly-commercial happy new year messages ok?

And thus peace and goodwill reigns throughout the forum again.
 
Harumph .. that's solved the fleetwood to oban question? mind, he could do with a drop down list describing the boat, no? .. auld tub, new tub etc, colour of spinnaker etc
 
What an absolutely brilliant advertising strategy.

What started out as a harmless (OK cheesy) new year message has now gained them more column inches and we all now know the name.

Well done Yachtmovers
 
Nice doggy! Good doggy....

May not be related, but could this be linked to tcm giving up smoking for New Year?

It would seem that the nicotine patches have penetrated the stout epidermal layer and are having the palliative effect as described on the tin.

Not unique BTW Mr M Carter, have seen before, although not such a glowing reversal.

Well Hurrah!!
 
This is serious stuff here, looks like our resident doorman has been got at,
Didn’t the lovely Maggie T preach “no U turns” once you go on the attack you should see it through to the end…an she was dead right… any sign of weakness an the buggers will be in through your legs and spamming all over the place.
Then next thing is we will be inundated with more rubbish like the recent one for cheep cigarettes that came in to a thread over on the Liveaboard forum ( is nothing sacred).
wot next? I dunno it’s all very worrying now our rottviller has been thrown a piece of meat and gone belly up, who`s going to defend us against the the spammers waiting in the sidelines for a green light with their plastic anchors and how to get an 8” penis?
I mean fair dos the plastic bruce might be a good idea but I ent cutting 3”off my dick for nobody

He wasn`t like this you know before he retired, went all yottyfied and packed up smoking,

Swooning in shock. TCM's been knobled. Then I dug a little deeper. Turns out Yachtmovers is also owned by a PR company- specialising in PR disaster management (honest look at the webite, it's called spider something or other)

So, either the whole thing was a set up, with TCM a handsomely paid stooge.

Or, they really are very good at PR too. If so, do you want to do mine? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif (I sell yachts and you can move 'em for me)

Best thread/saga in ages. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
