I don't know if it was your intention to prove that US-ians can't read, but you appear to have achieved it, anyway.

He isn't - he's just a Grumpy Old Man. This[^] doesn't mean a thing.... Cool | :cool:

Anyway, who cares? He'll be dead in 5 years[^] anyway! Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Or would have been if it wasn't because he died 2 days ago[^] (alledgedly)! D'Oh! | :doh:

Not only is this not actually from John Cleese, but it's not even referring to Trump but George W. Bush. Yep, it is that old. Snopes[^]

Not that snopes is a reliable source, but I find that believable.

Fair enough, but just googling "john cleese revocation" shows a lot of results dating way back, showing that this is some rehashed stuff.

So it'll probably be Leslie-ed even after he's joined Leslie.

Hi All,

I 'crewed' one(?) of the company boats across the Bristol Channel and did not throw up, or feel sick in any way! OMG | :OMG:

just to give you a little back ground until then the extent of my off shore experience was a cross channel ferry(vomit everywhere) and a very sick making lilo (not Lindsay Lohan, Griff!!). It was a mixture of "oh, that's why people like sea travel", calm & as I now know the difference between a line and a rope do I get my Blue Peter crew badge? Cool | :cool:

Several years ago I did a corporate yacht racing weekend on the Solent, 36 footers. I had only ever been in Lasers and Toppers before that. It was great fun

Ahh! Lasers & Toppers sound like a dodgy night club to me. I still think I am a land lubber...

Well, if that has been "a line and a sheet" then it might have been on the cards. But ...

If you have real style and experience you call it string and pointy end just to piss the sailing snobs off. Wink | ;)

I've been a handful of times on my dad's outboard tender, both as a passenger and as driver/serviceman and while not entirely pleasant I felt slightly sick only once, when there was the "long wave"... but then the tender pitched so much that adrenaline took place because it was imperative to keep the boat steady.

Minehead to Swansea? Newquay to Port Talbot? Its either a small or large crossing, and with the usual crappy weather, and it being shallow, can be a vicious place, with a MASSIVE tidal flow, one of the biggest in the world. Not a body of water to sneer at so congratulations. And yes, sailing is a lot of fun. Feeling the power of nature captured, the way the boat powers forward, its epic stuff! Smile | :)
