Four raggies were sitting around in the bar sharing a half of bitter one windless afternoon as they are wont to do. One of them got his purse out and went off to settle the bar bill and the other three started bragging about their sons.

The first man told the others, "My son is a builder and he is so successful that he gave a friend a new house for free."

The second man said, "My son was a car salesman and now he owns a Mercedes dealership. He's so successful that he gave a friend a new Mercedes, with all the extras."

The third man, not wanting to be outdone, bragged, "My son is a stockbroker and he's doing so well that he gave his friend an entire stock portfolio."

The fourth man joined them after a few minutes of taking care of business and the first man mentioned, "We are just talking about our sons. How is yours doing?"

The fourth man replied, "Well, my son is gay and dances in a gay bar."

The three friends looked down at their glasses and sniggered. The fourth man carried on, "Admittedly I'm not totally thrilled about the dancing job, but he must be doing pretty good. His last three boyfriends gave him a house, a brand new Mercedes, and a stock portfolio.

The kids are sitting in class for the first day of school and the teacher asks each of the children a few questions to get to know them. When asked what their fathers do, a few reply that their father works at an office, other dads are police officers, fireman, the lot. Only little Johny doesn't answer.

"Well, Johny, what does you daddy do?" asks the teacher.
Johny, still reluctant to answer, blurts out: "He's a male prostitute" The teacher immediately goes red in the face and ends the question time.

During the break, the teacher approaches Johny. "Well Johny, is your father really a male prostitute?"
"No" answers Johny"But I'm not going to admit in front of the whole class that my daddy drives a motor boat"

No David I keep her at Fosdyke / up the Welland The Wash
Yes she is a proper project some thing to get your teeth into, I step onto her deck and smile .
I had a boat on a swinging mooring at PinMill a couple of years ago, I love the place especially when the Thames barges race each other . Mind you we never caught any fish .

Cheers
Mick

Ooh. Are these forums buyable then? Can I make a bid for scuttlebutt? I'll offer a fiver, and if you don't accept I'll send the boys round to bash you up. Oops, forgot to mention, it's a hostile bid.

Listen Buster
We regularly have competitions where I end up giving more than that to the RNLI so hostile or no - you're going to have to dig deeper if you want the ceegar - get my drift?

MoBo2 is driving his Porsche 911 on the M4, when all of a sudden he sees MoBo1 standing alongside his own Porsche 911, waving his MoBo flagy. Of course, MoBo2 stops to lend a hand.
"What's the problem?
"I dunno, she won't start"
They try to start the car, but nothing.
So they decide to try and fix it themselves (for their boats, they would have called the RNLI). They open the the front hood.
"I can't believe it, the b*st*rds nicked me engine!"
"Don't worry" said Mobo2 "I've got a spare one in the back"

Sharkhunting - to fuel the debate

On a tour, the Pope took a couple of days off his itinerary to visit a coastal town on an impromptu sightseeing trip.

His 4X4 Popemobile was driving along the golden sands when there was an enormous commotion heard just off the headland. They rushed to see what it was and upon approaching the scene the Pope noticed just outside the surf, a hapless man, obviously a Raggie from the upturned sailing boat, struggling frantically
to free himself from the jaws of a twenty-foot shark.

At that moment a speedboat containing three men roared into view from around the point. Spontaneously, one of the men took aim and fired a harpoon into the shark's ribs, immobilizing it instantly. The other two reached out and pulled the Raggie from the water and then, using long clubs, beat the shark to death.

They bundled the bleeding, semi conscious man into the speedboat along with the dead shark and then prepared for a hasty retreat, when they heard frantic shouting from the shore. It was of course the Pope, and he summoned them to the beach.

Upon them reaching the shore the Pope went into raptures about the rescue and said, "I give you my blessing for your brave actions. I had heard that there were some racist xenophobic people trying to divide the MOBO’s and Raggies, but now I have seen with my own eyes this is not true. I can see
that your society is a truly enlightened example of racial harmony and could serve as a model on which other people could follow."

He blessed them all and drove off in a cloud of dust.

As he departed, the harpoonist asked the others, "Who was that???!"

”That," one answered, "was his Holiness the Pope. He is in direct contact with God and has access to all God's wisdom."

"Well," the harpoonist replied, "he knows f--- all about shark hunting.
How's that bait holding up or do we need to get another one?"

Raggie sitting quietly in his cockpit, when the MOBO in the next berth appears in his cockpit covered in oil, "What do you do when you break down?" asked the MOBO. "Call the wife and tell her to get needle and thread out" replied the raggie.

Raggie and a MOBO left harbour on the same tide.

After few minutes, voices came from the motor boat - 'When do we get there?'

Voice from the sailing boat ' We are there already.'
