suitable owners

[scottie]

I wonder what is the most suitable occupation for a boat owner or
what occupation makes the best boat owner ?
is it different for sail power etc ?

Re: Part-time bank robber?

For sailing, its possibly a little different, perhaps a cat burglar so as to have practice nipping up the mast. Both amass large amounts of loot v quickly, no tax and plenty of spare time.

Not really a part time job though Bank Robbing is it? You're either one, or you're not. Like a woman being a little bit pregnant. She either is or isn't.

Course it's part time! can hardly be 9-5 mon-friday now can it? Otherwise they'd be knocking over two banks a day! Very unsociable hours. And there's not even a contract of employment. You got to admit, no clients of your has ever requested a need for a full-time bank robber. And they can't be on contract either, now can they, cos then others would hire them in? Nor can it be a casual bank robber, as that sounds silly and not very comitted to the task.

Could do it as a hobby, surely? A bit like a friend of mine who's an amateur gynaecologist...

Tho my personal preference for employment is chandler. You get to spend all day in a chandlery, and probably go out and look at boats once in a while. It's just like owning a boat except the funds flow the other way.

No. He used to do quite a bit a while back, but now it's just odd bits here and there to keep his hand in.

European Commissioner or Euro MP. You get to earn a fortune, feck about in Brussels a couple of days a month, fiddle your expenses on a truly monumental scale, employ your wife/girlfriend as your secretary on a huge salary, smuggle cheap snouts back to Blighty, have several mistresses, and spend 23 days a month hopping across the Channel on your boat, charging your fuel to the tax-payer as a travel expense. Huzzah! I'll have some of that.
