"As well as sporting clearly illegal 'appendages'" Where is the speculation in that comment?

I think that the real point we are discussing here is are we being let down by the National Health Service? When my paint is dry I will check the starting order at the Bloody thingy and see who started behind the winged or not N12's and the winged or not 420's for they are the culprits here. A lack of observational skill on their part has caused this wandering post. When I was a lad spectacles came from the NHS. If you could not tell a National 18 from a Firefly ones Mum hauled you into a clinic where a white coated official with a fag on stopped searching for nits and nailed a pair of wire rimmed glasses onto your head. Suddenly all became clear and you could see buses and predatory pedophiles. One of my offspring wears glasses by Armani and Gok Wang for heavens sake. This means that he looks sexy but cant tell a bicycle from a horse. So, this confusion is all caused by Specsavers, Pat Smythe and Lance Armstrong. Bring back Nitty Nora.
Can we stop talking about this now....even I'm bored?

I stiil think they did it, the more noise the 420 camp make, the more it points to some of the kids doing stuff behind daddies back so now they could be accused of calling poor radixon a 'liar' after what was a perfectly innocent request, it's not as if he said 'ooh I saw those 420 kids cheating', he just asked about what the 'thing' they were using did.
And anyway, anyone who signs himself Finntastic clearly isn't totally all there, there's nothing 'tastic' about that old tub or any of those other Arks, 420's N12's whatever, making kids sail in them is tantamount to child abuse imv.
If this thread were on a bike forum I sometimes frequent, it would have been closed by now as the forum lynch mob mentality prevails. Folk who come on to ask questions, comment positively, or even josh about, are fine, new one posters moaning aint imv and like my early three bans, should not be made to feel necessarily that comfortable about acting that way, an introduction might at least be polite..

Hi Tick Agreed let the key board warriors continue. Graham I think you will find that a modern Finn is has far more modern tech than the boat you sail.

I'm sure RADixon has been on this forum long enough to have caught a few class rules debates, so should have sussed that stating a boat was sporting a huge modification is in fact equivalent to suggesting they were outside the rules. It's like stating in print "I saw the boys from a certain street riding mopeds with no helmets", then mumbling days later that they might in fact have been pedal cycles. Or maybe a horse.... If anyone actually has the guts and bodging skills to put a winged rudder on a 420, I'll probably buy them a pint if they're old enough, so long as they enter as a ''420 Development'' or something. Now, where to borrow a fathead main for the Perisher? I'll sign on as a '409' in very bad handwriting.
