Good advice, Blobby... Got to look after the younger members on this forum.
Still, I thought Dave's answer about the stocks was quite funny. I wonder if Littlewavedaisy's had a school fête, and asked Daddy to provide the "stuck in the stocks" attraction??

I meant the buying and selling of shares of company's so that I would get part of their profits and sell the shares at a higher price

Dear Dave,

I have a friend who has a problem - well several actually - but the main one is the fact that he no longer has a boat.  But he has a good friend who has a boat and is unable to use it to race on many occasions since he has to baby sit whilst his wife gets to race her topper.

Would it be acceptable for my friend to demand the loan of his friends boat whilst he is unable to sail due to baby sitting duties?  Should he point out that whilst the boat may be his pride and joy he will get a sense of enormous well being for helping out a mate in desperate circumstances??

Then don't do so much during the week.

Earlier in this thread I gave Phil some advice regarding the lottery.  I believe it could still apply.

learn to luurrrve your old tub and all of her special little quirks. 

There is a lot to be said for an old boat, you can always blame it for a poor performance.  If you get a new one you can only blame your performance on getting used to it for so long, then you have no excuses left.

You can get more water at the mark in an old boat, put plenty of gaffer tape round the edges.  This give the impression that you are a bit of a barger.

Oh and put a thick layer of margarine over the hull, it will make it go fast, Honest.

your not going to get a new boat easily then, nearly everybody on this forum has to work hard to afford their boats, even us students!
