Sailing is for posh people

Yep- a bit like girls from Kent, but at least they still have their teeth.

Just a moment....are you saying that if I use Baileys to encourage young women into liaison, it will improve my chance of success? Is it more aphrodisiac than say vodka and lime, snowball or Babycham? Was my time resting my elbows in spilled coffee while watching my chosen one consume her Wimpey...in a bar of that name pointless? You young chaps are so lucky with your modern devices and underwear-slackening beverages. How I long for the return of those days when I consider how many shillings I wasted for no result.

There are of course exceptions to most social observations, I trust your wife would not have snagged herself such a fine specimen of sailing godliness had she have been unfortunate enough to resemble a warthog munching on road kill.

Therefore please do raise a glass with her of that Irish liqueur and toast those of less blessed appearance than yourselves.... A bit like eating a bowl of rice whilst listening to Band Aid instead of another turkey sandwich, it will make you think of others at Yuletide.
