Which episod is it? He's going to blow all his money on cards and silly bets, fall out with his wife, have an improbable affair with a stick insect, be extraordinarily perceptive when it comes to catch the villain ("Hmmm, that type of disembowelling is typical of a seesaw-and-slide trauma, occuring in childhood in the 70s, on a Tuesday in Spring at about 10 past two... Sorry, can't be more precise... still, my hunch is to investigate all one-armed lab technicians..."), still be extraordinarily dense when it comes to handling his kids and suffer a special episode in Hong-Kong which sacrified the storyline to the scenery. Can barely remember it myself.... ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC

With an accent like that, it's hard to forget he's Scottish! He sounds like the best part of Contender443's family... ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC

Claim to fame. Once had a slash in the gents at the Mean Fiddler in Harlesden next to Robbie Coltrane. It was a Bhundu Boys concert in the 1980s. He was wearing a bright purple suit. Before most of you were born probably! Cracker is nonsense by the way. |

Sorry, I'm under the slight illusion nowadays that if I have a hole in my boat (not happened yet), that repairing it with duck tape only will lead on to the following conversation; "Hello Mr. Noble...........yeah we put duck tape over a hole and now the boat is sitting at the bottom of the Tamar..........." ------------- Dennis Watson 49er GBR735 http://www.helensburghsailingclub.co.uk/ - Helensburgh S.C http://www.noblemarine.co.uk/home.php3?affid=560 - Boat Insurance from Noble Marine |

Nah, have faith in duck tape! Ask Contender443: he had a gash on his Cntender hull a few years ago, so big it made him almost sink (hilarious sight from the beach! and if you don't believe me, have a look at this: http://www.ducktapeclub.com/ - http://www.ducktapeclub.com/

If ducktape can hold the bow of a Tornado together for the last 3 days of an Olympic Classes Regatta then it can hold anything! In the 1983 Kielerwoche I hit an Italian T that tacked absolutely smack in front of me (his fault). We finished the week off with our port bow ducktaped together AND we barely took any water! Even now a roll of ducktape is never very far away from my kitbag......... ------------- Far too old to still be doing this...... Stealth F16s "White Rhino" GBR527 & "Yeah Baby" GBR538 |
