What do you mean you leave the men folk behind.  Of course they will notice your not there.  I bet the house is a tip, the ironing is piling up and they are hungry.  If you and your Mum aren't there who will care for them?

I think the best thing you can do is limit your sailing to Sundays, giving your Mum plenty of time on Saturday to do the house work.  And rather than leave the heads of the household at home on Sunday, take them to the sailing club with you and leave them in the bar. 

I hope this helps.

Dave.

Dear Dave

None of the men in my family will sail. So me and my Mum leave them every weekend to go sailing. The problem is they have started to notice. How do we disguise the fact that we are never at home anymore?

I used to sail a Finn and loved it, easily the best boat I have ever sailed and one of the best class associations, I had to sell it to pay a dispute with the tax man and bought a 600, loads of fun. I fancied a bit of sea sailing so sold the 600 and bought a Contender, and met BNS and C443. I am currently without a boat but should be rectifying the situation for the winter series at Bough Beech.  The funds are a bit limited so a Finn is out of the question. I may have to get another 600

I can still see my avatar so I'll reload it and hope that works.

Well beauty is in the eye of the beholder I freely admit BNS

You younger chaps, BNS is a blonde French goddess and don't you forget it.

Shocked  Embarrassed Visibly, you've never met me ! Ask Contender443 and he'll tell you the ugly truth... but only by PM, I don't want to lose my forum cred! Big smile

Hey, I can only tell it as BWD tells it!  Never turn down a "big up"

The old "self pleasure" bit particularly caught my eye.  What's all that about then.



I was refering to a more 'holistic experience', but if you want to talk specifics, then I guess you're looking at the wrong website.

 

Good point well made

Basically by the time your forty-ish you realise there really is nobody out there who owes you a living, the only way to be mega-rich is to be a mega-twat; and kids, well, in the time you've been so selfless taking good parenting lessons from 'super nanny', (mother-in-law by another name)  they've become better sailors than you- yet another reason for your mates to take the piss out of you if the bald patch, gammy leg and inability to hold down 6 lagers anymore wasn't enough.

BWD/Pierre and all you other time-honoured gentlemen- just go out and enjoy yourself... time served being selfless is rewarded by so called 'bad behaviour' and irresponsible spending of your pension funds...  just be glad that all the nagging you've endured over the past couple of decades from bosses, wives, kids, mistresses etc will soon wash over you without a care in the world... after all there's always Men and Motors to take your mind off of anything couter-productive to your own self-pleasure!!!

James, marvellous!! The hormones are obviously raging away there mate.
