Whats so bad about being a Stinky then

[T_S]

So what is it that boaties, raggies and yotties dislike so much about stinkys then?

 

[ashanta]

Hasn't this been aired enough lately?

Peter.

The vast majority get on fine. There's a lot of banter here between the two, though it's mainly jovial between forumites that have met, and many of us have a foot in both camps. Only a very small minority actually seem to have real issues.

It's one of the more popular threads hereabouts, and so the regulars here have seen it aired many a time. A bit like ensigns and flag etiquette etc etc.

 

[Sammo]

Wind your neck in Brendon there`s people coming onto this forum from all over the world on a daily basis.

This is going to come as a big shock to you but this forum is not run for the benefit of of the regulars.

The Raggie/Stinky bit is done to death regularly but who are these new lot trying to get in, the Boaties and the Yotties - it was bad enough with the two groups without sub groups forming.

Can a Yottie like a Stinky but not a Raggie, or a Boatie like them all? Is a Stinky not a Boatie or a Yottie not a Raggie? Aren't Stinkys, Raggies and Yotties not all Boaties?

I think you need to go off and think about this one.

Albert,

I am fortunate to be a member of a club that has power boat, fishing boat and sailing boat members and we get on fine. there are many cruises that we do together during the season and it would not be the same if we did not mix so well.
Personally, I or my wife have not met a Mobo crew that were not pleasant. there are far more arrogant dinghy sailors expecting me to move out their way in a narrow channel (Exe) because they believe they have the right of way depite the fact they don't my draught and I am restricted.
I can tell of many incidents of bad manners and arrogance from raggie to raggie but it's not worth it.
We go away at weekends and enjoy ourselves with mobos and fishermen alike and I do get fed up with the constant posts attempting to create a reaction. It's not necessary.
Anyway, Ive said my bit so I hope I have not offended you.

Regards.

Peter.

Blimey, bit touchy tonight aren't we? He asked a question in reponse to Ashanta's reply. I just answered the question. I made no comment on whether I thought it was an overdone thread or not, and seperately I posted a totally serious response to his original question. What exactly have I done to put your hackles up? Where did I imply that this forum is not for all?

Re: Tend to a stanchion

Albert,

Why make such comment? I am a relatively new comer to this forum but I appreciate the usual passage of interesting comment and support from other forumites. In the short time I have been participating i can only say that this has been one of the most boring and common posts to be read.
I don't sail in the solent and that is probably a very congested area but then marina's and anchorages all along the south coast are becoming more popular. We should face this fact and learn to enjoy each others company.
By the way, I am old guard. I was a career soldier, having previuosly trained for the Navy and I can honestly say that the soldier did know how to "stand to attention"

Regards.

peter.

This Boatie likes them all!

This Boatie has driven MoBo's, sailed yots, dingees even (god forbid) PWC, but I must admit I never could stand up on a sail board so the're out, but I have to say that almost everyone from everyside of our sport is good to know, it's the last 1% that give the other 99% a bad name.
Signed
The Boatman.

Re: Tend to a stanchion

Albert,

You are amazing! I make a comment that states " hasn't this been aired enough?"

You can make statements like "here comes the old Guard", " tend to a stantion" and "wind your neck in Brendan"

It would be very nice for us to meet Albert because I am sure in my presence you wouldn't be as candid and arrogant.

Re: Tend to a stanchion

Typical Pongo

Still tapdancing?

[ShipsWoofy]

They make tea in mugs, sooo uncouth.

They always seem to be smiling, very poor behaviour, going to sea is a serious business, not a place to have fun and frolics.

And they always laugh loudly with their mates on the pontons, just not cricket.

I hate them all.....

I'll meet you any time to show what I know about tap dancing.

I just wish the likes of you would just keep you sarcastic comments to your self rather trying to stir the preverbial!

 

[Ships_Cat]

They always wave when they go by too /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif.

I know they are just showing off that they can go faster than me so I sometimes ignore them, if I am feeling particularly generous, but I usually make rude signs or noises while jumping up and down.
