Ohdrat\'s pontificatorium re Butt Armada
In the light of various despicably gross posts involving pictures of animals’ rears and Butters’ ugly mugs I am very concerned about the imminent Butter Armada to Cherbourg.
I believe such attitudes and degenerate behaviour will do us Britishers no favours and undermine our prominent position in Europe.
I strongly urge all those participating to refrain from bandying unseemly pictures of rears, mugs and personages generally in public.
I also think that all (male) Butters should ensure they are clean and shaven before disembarking on French soil. The pictorial evidence of Butters leads me to suspect that this will require a considerably amount of effort. I call on all Butters present to admonish and suitably restrain those Butters who resist this modicum of personal hygiene.
In addition I would hope that suitable attire will be warn. Red fleeces with (or in more probability) without fish oil stains should be thrown overboard before entrance to Cherbourg (please ensure that these are not carried into Cherbourg on the tide). A further concern is that certain male elements may try and don clothing in a futile attempt to address their “feminine” side. This behaviour should be strongly suppressed (the use of crocodile clips and batteries may be a useful method of persuasion in these cases).
Further to the personal presentation aspects I fell that the following should be strictly adhered to:
1. No calling Cherbourg on CH16 for radio checks.
2. Butters should refrain from tacking within the confines of the Harbour
3. Proper display of Balls or Cones as appropriate
4. Lights should not look like fairy lights or an attempt to decorate the boat as you would a Christmas tree.
5. A French courtesy flag is flown in conjunction with the appropriate Ensign
6. All sails should be clean and hulls washed above the water line at least.
7. Bright work should be bright.
I do earnestly hope that those concerned will read this and adhere to the above for the good of the forum.
