Absolutely perfect! Our last Monday night to a tee, very succinctly described. Merry Xmas.

True to life..... Why is it that the female of the species takes so long to quit ANY social situation? And why is it that when I feel like it's a good idea to stay for another single malt SWMBO glares at me and disappears into the darkness and we wind up having 'words'? No, I know that there is no answer, just saying!

Thank you for that. But as an afficionado of jazz as well as "I'm sorry I haven't a Clue", I remember that Humph used to spell his surname with a "y" rather than a "i"...

Mike.

Oh the Shame

I stand corrected and hang my head in shame.

Brilliant read, first time I've ever laughed out loud reading a sailing blog. Thanks

 

[Peroo]

Excellent post and right on the money - have book marked your blog for further gems!

Keep writing, great prose, great observation and a sense of humour not often seen!

Will be sharing with the community here!

I recognise much of that tale from personal experience, but I can't believe I am alone in emptying my bladder directly into the marina when it is sufficiently dark.

 

[Birvidik_Bob]

Ah! You appear to have spotted the flaw in my argument. In my defence I would argue poetic licence and the fact that Mr. Yottie exhibits a natural reticence to urinate al fresco when there is a strong possibility of the sudden appearance of a pack of yotesses.

Mrs. Yottie can be expected to express opprobrium at being embarrassed by such an unseemly display in front of her friends whilst the rest of the pack are likely to subject Mr. Yottie to a chorus of ribald comments and unsympathetic anatomical comparisons.

Bob, you need to raise your social mix. Among ours, it is considered bad form to look and completely outre to comment...

 

[Birvidik_Bob]

Yes, but I see that you are in France, where they don't have form, they have politesse.

And the French have the amazing talent of making exquisite politeness and good manners appear deeply insulting and humiliating - how do they manage that?

And while I'm on the deep mysteries of life, how to I get italics or bold on these fora?
