We'd love to, we're definitely on for that one you showed me, but Trev (my sensible crew who has those Bandits in the Merlin constantly reminding him that my sanity is in question) wants to give it a go in standard trim. I told him it would be boring, the bloke who designed it had spinnaker phobia and small water syndrome, but he won't listen so it's just a question of setting a date. Even the wimmen have agreed we need a lighter boat and one that doesn't sink if it stops moving fast. (They were concerned to see us lose a lead and spend the whole race baling out in last weeks drifter.)

Well, you'd have been disappointed/pleased beyond belief, because I haven't, I'm still rocking that same divided butt creation I had last year, although intense pressure from Club and wimmenkind has forced me to adopt dingho practise of shorts over the wetsuit (I have yet to resort to a full blown beer mat charisma reversal jobbie).

We are slowly moving towards a Top Gun moment; 'You can be my wing man' etc, 'when you reach the carrier you'll get your rear or I'll do it', will watch it again tonight while shifting a shed load of brandy and babycham.

Well I would have enjoyed that Wing Wang, I could have been Ben Ainslie to your Convict Helmswoman, I'm sure we'd both have learned something from the experience.

And I was looking forward to relieving Thunder Road of his responsibility for looking after so much Brandy and Babycham.

What a tragedy, having looked forward to it for so long, I'm bereft.

grf you are such a wuss.  Despite that I would have helmed for you if only to see you cowering in the bottom of the boat.  I could also have taught you how to use the wiggly stick thing.
the same, but different...

Not sure what to do now, may be going home to drink the brandy and babycham I had bought to bring down for my friends, if I had any (thought I would get it in first)? Unhappy

Oh dear, what a shame and there was I going to try and blag an Icon and sweet talk Wing Wang into tag teaming it.

And I had a pass, have bought a bloody tow bar specially for it.

Spring?

It better not be too early in 'spring' I'm thinking at the very least there should be bluebells about and the dafs are dead.

Poor show all round, thanks for trying Rodders..
