Spoken like you've been there!


Nah, there weren't any MacDonalds when I was a kid. Back in those
days, the brightest 5% went to university, the next 10% went to
colleges of advanced education (including teachers college, nursing
etc), the next 20% or so went to tech colleges, most of the rest got
clerical & unskilled jobs.

Those who couldn't do any better became police.

First off Ralph... you misspelled "hypocrite" and since when is being self
centered a character flaw... it fits so well with my other traits of
arrogance and shallowness.

Ah, the old; "If you can't respond on topic, resort to the classis lowest
common denominator Possible, critique of spelling & gramar" response.

Please do yourself a favour and find another ankle to chew on..... your
drool is ruining my sandals and since I walk on water it's difficult to
rinse off.

I have seen/heard of many who sit on the dock, making walking motions, being
careful to not get their feet wet.

Are you sure what you preceive as "Drool" is not "Presperation" caused by
the combined effort of making the walking motions over the water while
sitting on the dock with your "Note Book Computer", shuffeling through your
Dictionary, & Gramatical Reference.

Over my ~40 years FD/CFR/ARFF experience, I have encountered more than a

such esteemed personages as themselves. These personages generally have
fallen into 3 groups; Lawyers, Politicians, & Lawyers turned

politicians.
It
has been my experience/learned most who populate these groups, or have
similar attitudes could best be described as "Fair Weather Sailors".

Is it not wise to keep your "scuppers clean/clear of obstruction" &
"minimize the amount of material in/keep your bilge clean"? At 6'8', 280

more than likely create "Trim Problems" if carried in your "Bilge".

By the way in my younger US Navy days, I did fight several fires

from not cleaning/clearing "Bilges", to say nothing of retrieving

several
"Fair Weather Sailors" & their boats.

You comment "if one searched in the right direction..." requires a
"Heading" to be useful. A little searching in the right direction should
satisfy your curiosity, if you have any.

I never needed to go that low to earn a living. NSW Police - finest

bought, and went into dealing drugs for themselves. On camera. Made
'honest cop' into an oxymoron.

Time to get yourself lottery ticket my boy!


No need. Every day I spend doing the job I wanted, living in the place
I wanted to live, going to sea every year and sailing whenever I have

Ah, Ralph Nessbit, the worlds leading professional slasher type,
I just _love_ that accent. Do you hold your hands above your
head and wiggle your fingers for exclamation marks while
describing your qualifications to your drinking buddies?

Good for you Pete.
But when ya pick 4 outta 4 you're on a winner, maybe some extra cash
would help you buy a boat of your own instead of using someone elses
ship.


Got one. Bought a small old daysailer to play with; it's parked on my
front yard here in Tas, 50m from the tideline next to the kayaks. I've
got the cash for anything up to a 40 foot cruiser, what I don't have
is the time to use one. 2 of my workmates and 4 of my neighbours have
cruising yachts on moorings out the front of my place, or round the
corner at Kettering. I know how frequently they go sailing. Another
few years and I'll buy. Can't see the point in having a cruising yacht
that sits on its mooring 48 weeks of the year. Not as though boats are
an appreciating investment.

Ships are.... different. I don't like being at sea with engines
running 24/7, constant noise from the air plant and diesel smell.
However, I do like being at sea and working in odd corners of the
planet. Nobody is going to get a yacht of any description down the
eastern side of the Mertz Glacier, or into the western side polynya in
midwinter, for example. So - they pay me to play and when it gets old
- I'll buy my yacht and have the time to sail it where & when I
please. Everything's a tradeoff and I'm content with the ones I've had
to make. More money would be nice, but I don't really care.
