OK - now the guilt is setting in... ...but it's the little pleasures that make the pain bearable...

 That's the spirit... Now you feel strong enough to be away from your boat a little longer.  ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC

Was the sea full of lightly glad lovlies applauding your skill whilst offering you pints of the finest real ale or belgian beer, whilst polishing your olympic gold medal and filling up your E-type ready for you to drive on empty smooth winding roads up to your log cabin in the mountains where the hot tub is bubbling and the lobster burger is being freshly prepared for you?
no? not paradise my friend not by a long shot!

24th-28th July. Garda.a.k.a Sailing Mecca. Should come close. ------------- Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer. |

That sounds quite a personal concept of paradise, tack'ho. It's obvious you're setting the standards quite high, but a lobster burger doesn't really appeal to me (you can have the bread, I'll have the lobster) and a sea full of lightly glad ladies Now... the E-type on empty roads... that's more like it? What do you say, no speed limits??? Now, that's paradise!! ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC

Better than me. I read it long after it got published, just out of curiosity. What a load of c I think I'm going to try Jordan's autobiography next ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC

My theory - The bible was just a best selling book that got taken waaayyy to seriously, give it 2000 years from now and harry potter will be the new jesus! |

no what it was was that the original 1st page of the bible was lost, what it said was "this book should not be used for the basis of any religion...(rest of red dwarf quote here)" ------------- 600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it. Also International 14, 1318 |

wasn't it 'this book is purely ficticious and any similarity to any persons living or dead is purely coincidental' Guess we aren't a paticularly religious lot on here then! ------------- I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e! |

I forgot to mention that the kite halyard is so free running on the Musto that the 4mm line doesn't even make the slightest mark on ungloved hands... ------------- One step forwards, 2 steps back... |

Grafham this weekend was pretty close to paradise accept for the fact that there was Goose droppings all over the place. Should be paradise when we venture up there with the 9er if the wind god's are still looking favourably on me. Need to go and worship them............(in the pub). ------------- 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 |
