Never comlain about boathandling in East Coast Locks again!

[Laurin]

After watching him take 15 minutes entering this French lock in much the same way he exited it, we waited for 5 minutes after his performance started before we began filming.... get the popcorn and enjoy!

did you take the "p" ;-)

 

[Malish]

After a traditional 2 hour lunch perhaps?

 

[LittleSister]

They shouldn't make locks so straight!

 

[Poignard]

It does make you wonder.

About what sort of person would see any point, or derive any pleasure, from seeing somebody in difficulties let alone film it and post it on YouTube so that others can ridicule him.

And about what sort of person would post a link to it on this forum.

That wasn't someone in difficulties. They must have been pissed. Ridicule deserved.

What sort of person? Someone with a sense of humour and with many East Coast friends amongst whom I am pleased to be counted.

Hope your day gets better.

+1 No details of the other boat visible in detail so no direct naming shaming etc. Lighten up.

That would be a person like me - who makes enough entertainment for others in locks and elsewhere, but is amused and cheered that there are others who get in even worse pickles.

Humans - with a sense of humour and a sense of the ridiculous.

"Oh look. Here's someone making a mess of doing something. Oh gosh, isn't it a scream. I know, lets film him and post it on YouTube. Haw haw! Soopah!"

I was thinking that.
Says exactly what he's getting the hump about.

 

[Poignard]

Exposing someone you don't know, and who has done you no harm, nor claimed skills he doesn't have, to be an object of public ridicule, indefinitely? That's ok is it?

I don't think so. At best it's unkind, at worst it's petty and spiteful.

"Get the popcorn and enjoy". No thanks, I won't.

Yes taking the p*** out of an obvious novice does not do anyone a bit of credit.

I wonder if his helm was broken and he was trying to do it all with just one engine?

Being charitable gives one a nice sort of glow
