Thank you for your concern my dear BNS.

However there have been no new problems posted, maybe I have already solved all of the problems of the sailing community. But I doubt it!

The problem is that most sailors are a bit shy when it comes to admitting they have a problem.  I have been surprised by the lack of 'friends' problems that have been on this thread.

Has the agony uncle job proved too much for me? Far from it. On a daily basis I point out various problems that some of the guys on site have (but maybe have not been aware of ) and offer them my advice. They are so impressed that they have been heard to say " 'ere comes that chippy, have you heard 'im f$%^£& unbelievable some of the things he comes out with, £^!$^&* unbelievable"

So there you have it, proof that many cannot believe that I have so much advice to offer, even when they were not aware that they needed it. They are obviously impressed.  It is a rare talent that I share with the forum.

I have had therapy in the past, but the various shrinks all ended up on medication, so the therapy came to a natural end.  The so called experts did not know that they had so many problems.

Is there anything the forum members can do? Well yes there is, give me your, or your 'friends' problems, and let me help.  Not sure what will happen next week? Don't trust the stars in the daily rag, not a problem. Just ask Dave.

Dear Dave,

It appears it's our turn to help you out... The voice of your wisdom hasn't been heard for SIX DAYS!! We're feeling lost without you to guide us...

Do you feel OK? Has this agony uncle job proved too much for you? Are you on therapy yet? If there's anything we can do, please don't hesitate.

See you soon.

Love

a concerned bwd follower

And mentioning that - since Mondays are definitely the worst day of the week, how come it is Friday the 13th that has a bad reputation?

(PS Auckland was gorgeously sunny today...)

After the Friday the 13th Films

They were truly awful...I am again enlightened!

Hey, Wave Rider!? Have I got double vision, or have you posted the same message on two threads (here and ARRGH in Dinghy Development). Are you trying to tell me something ??

Send me a PM to get my MSN address; I might be able to help!
