Hah - Are you beginning to recognise the truth, or are you beginning to feel
like one of life's victims?

I strongly suspect the latter. The world is full of people who blame their
failures on events that they think are beyond their control.


Flying out tomorrow, 3 days in Fremantle then sailing.


Sailing .... or working???
For most of us on this ng, "sailing" means taking our vessel out to sea
(where we can be master of all that we survey).

Perhaps you should study Michael's posts. He has gone to sea on commercial
vessels. He has done so to earn money that he can use to go sailing on his
own boat.
I'm sure that he gets great experience on these big ships, but he doesn't
try to claim that he is "sailing".



Donal et al is light amusement for
the idle moments is all.


I'm very pleased that I am of use to you. I'll provide you with some more
amusement when you get back.




Regards


Donal

Oh Cripes... it's a "Clash of the Titans" on the intellectual front.....


Thanks for the insult!!!


I swear to gawd... you two should just get together and have a brew....

you
have more in common than you realize.
I'm banking on a half dozen brews and you'd both be chums fer life...
honestly!


Nah .... I couldn't ever get on with someone who believes that he is
genetically superior to people who have a different skin colour or religion.



I mean look at how well I get along with Bob/Bill and Nav.... let Bush do
the warring... drink and talk sail... or anything else as I have found
out...... Nav and Bob and Bill are experts at everything! :-D


So what!!! I get on with Joe - who is an expert at nothing.

I get on with Neal - who is an expert at everything.

I get on with Scotty - who is an expert at tending to the amorous needs of
sheep.

Let's face it, I get along with almost everybody that I disagree with ...
except Peter.

When Peter gets back from work, we'll draw some of his unacceptable opinions
out into the open.

Regards

P.S.- I think Nav is jealous of my knife....... :-D

Which assumption are you complaining about?
Are you upset about the fact that your opinion is irrelevent to me, or
that
my opinion should be irrelevant to you?

Perhaps you could answer this post without resorting to the ad-hominems
that
have characterised your efforts to date.

What the hell on you on about.... for the most part "sailing" on this
newsgroup consists of a bunch of cyber sailors lamenting everything that
crosses their path due to their current inability to get out sailing!

If everyone here were as you put it.."taking our vessels out to sea"...
nobody would be friggin' here to bait and abuse!

Look at Bob... he never goes further than eyesight from his dock and lays
claim to stupendous 4-hour passages in the wilds of the LIS!!
90% of the time you never clear the harbour!
90% of the time I'm too inebriated to remember where the hell I've been
unless I refer to the latest collection of beer coasters on my boat!
Horvath sails a low class POS on a polluted lake and never beyond a well
marked racing buoy with every other boat ahead of him to show him the way!
Scotty is too busy cooking steaks to sail beyond the Chesapeake Bay Limits!
Kitty is stuck on a lake doing daysails!
Doug "sails" a friggin' Trawler!
Michael sails for work and hasn't got his "sailboat" launched in 3 years!
Haggie is working on restoring her vessel... even though she probably has
more experience then most of us combined!
Binary Bill sails a daysailor... that leaves the dock 50% less often than
Bob's!
Tadpole sails on a swamp!
John Cairns has illusions of being a salty world class racer... never gets
his own boat out of the lake
Capt Neal makes passages that wouldn't test the abilities of a Mac26x.. let
alone a Jet ski and lays to anchor for 6 months of the Year.
Joe sails his "Iron Maiden" out of a lake and onto shallow flats you could
get out and walk along.
Jon sails in San Fran 'Bay".... he never goes out of the bay!
Old Thom is the only one that remotely sails out of the bay... for short
durations!

Master of all he surveys indeed..... the hell you say!

Well... for your information... I'm genetically superior to anyone on this
planet... I'm Belgian!

Now you're just being difficult!

This I'd like to see.....

Lay off the booze for a while, please.


In the spirits find the truth...... after my last medical I realized the
path I was on was indeed a good one.

I've been invited to celebrate my 50th on Isla Del Diablo.... in a million
dollar house with guest cottages and a river with water falls.... it's next
to a park and adjacent to the dock.... a mass of people will be
attending... and I assure you none have sobriety as a primary function in
their lifestyle!

LIFE!.... she is good... !!!

Well... I'm off in 2 hours or so for a road trip..... so I haven' imbibed
for the last 24hrs and won't be drinking for the next 24 hrs. You know... I
really don't miss the booze when I decide to stop for a while.... never
have. Sometimes I go months without a drink... depends on what's going on.
It's not a big thing.

The 12 steps are for the genetically inferior......

Alcohol Anonymous is for quitters.
