There were several other words that sprung to my mind when I did it, and every one of them left my mouth.

And you can't quote any of them here, because there's a "swearing-is-bad-for-the-environment-cos -it-turns-the-air-blue" thingy, known with some software developers as "BWD filter".

Dear Dave

each time  I go turn up to go sailing ,  some Fxxxxr has nicked  the bung out of  my boat.

I suspect it's  another club-member.

What Should I do ?

drink a bottle of wine each morning before you go sailing, then when at the club whittle the cork to shape and the problem is solved.

or take it home with you

Join the AA, remove a couple of fuses so the car doesn't 'turn over' and get a free lift home

What should one do if ever faced with this foillowing situation

It is of vital importance in this situation that you name and shame the individual concerned, has no dignity left.

LOL LOL I know who it is... He'll never live it down, at least with me hehe....

 

PS. Sign of the times: in the olden days (when I was young), we used to walk to the nearest petrol station or call a mate who could give you a lift.

Now, the first thing to do is to post your mishap on Facebook. Maybe your motorized mate will jump to the rescue by SuperPoking you!

Dear Dave,

'er indoors is not happy because the element has burnt out in our cooker's fan oven. This has put the prospect of a nice roast dinner in some danger........how do I get hold of one of those cherub sailors, they seem to be able to fix anything to anything with porridge and carbon - do think they would be able to fix the element? ..........and if so how do I go about trying to contact one of them ?

Many thanks in advance,

Nigel Confused

P.S........or can you recommend a decent salad dressing ?

Simply type carbon, lightweight, cool, extreme, breaks easily,in the dinghy thread and they will find you.

Them cheb kids won't be able to fix it though without first posting loads of pictures of 'CAD' drawings on the chebs forum showing what they are going to build. If they do this your element will look nothing like their design. Don't trust them. They spend too long with their heads in a resin vat to think straight.

Pop to an electrical shop tomorrow if one is open, the elements are cheap and a piece of pi$$ to replace.

I've got a salad dressing your missus will love, strictly only for the ladies though.
