What things should be banned from a boat?

[wklein]

Matches definitely. Keep buying them to save burning my hands and find spent ones everywhere.

Women on board should always be spun a yarn about what an inverter does.

Men that spin yarns!

Bread crumbs...

I reckon if I design a breadboard with raised edges to contain the crumbs
( not too difficult methinks ) I could become a millionare..

I've cut the number of loose breadcrumbs down to insignificant by placing the breadboard on a plastic tray (with raised edges).

Mackems. Tea totals. People with no sense of humour. People who don't understand that as long as there is another yacht in sight, there's a competition on. People who motor needlessly.

People who want things banned from boats should be banned from boats.

Didn't we do this thread just a few months ago?

Iirc it was decided that wheelbarrows, umbrella's and naval officers were the three key things.



Or was that things that are useless on a a boat. I dunno. It's all the same.

Umbrellas and Naval Officers

Umbrellas and Naval Officers

I dunno about Naval Officers - but I find having an umbrella onboard very useful.........even if only used when heading ashore.

And wheelbarrows...

Carried two chinese folding umbrellas on this years cruise...essential

And wheelbarrows...

Not a wheelbarrow, but a sack truck is invaluable. Other than its more obvious purposes I once wheeled my daughter to a doctor's surgery on it in Kinsale, when she damaged her knee.

Cats
A complete waste of perfectly good DNA which would be better used on a nice tasty fish.

You do realise that that is exactly how cats regard humans, don't you.

I have told her that I am going to shave her QUOTE]

Didn't realise that the forum extended as far as Brazil!

NOOO, thats Hollywood!

B*****r

Agree about the hair, although both the wife and I have the long variety.

I put forward sand, hair accessories and Lego.

The best way to avoid sand is to make everyone swim to and from the beach.

That means I am going to have to shave the labrador - that's where all the hair comes from
