Oh and doesn't that sexy looking Suzuki 70 suit the Medline so well - so much nicer than those nasty smelly Yamaha 2-strokes, don't you think Fred?

Ribcraft! Ribcraft! Don't let Jonno see this or his head will blow up. You'll be telling us next that you can see 16 miles out at sea.

Ribcraft

We know MeMe can't read, but it does have printed in big letters 'Pro Sport' on the side of Jono's new 6.5m.
Maybe require a greater zoom on your camera! I just happen to have one I brought back from my last trip to Soton if you're interested.

Looks like Fred had borrowed MeMe's upholstery for the day

Oi Phil, deckchair attendants need to stick together so even if MeMe's engine is noisier it makes bl***y good sausages. You may well wonder why Medline's are becoming so numerous in NWR it' due to the gulf stream and global warming leaving us to endure summer temperatures in the 40's (F or C) take your pick so we go for a boat that suits these conditions our summer's are so hot we even have a bimini top on ours to keep the scorching sun off so there!!!!!!!!

Sorry Philllll, I didn't realise you were a great literary booker prize winning novelist.

Fred, if I may be so bold ? May I on your behalf, tell P.D to Piss right off.

Oh, you hadn't heard - I've been nominated in two categories this year for 'Around the World in 80 Days in a 4m RIB' and my latest work, 'The Phantom Evo of the Opera'. Bookies' favourite is an outsider, JRR Tolkien, for 'The Lord of the RIBs'

Speaking of..........

'The Lord of the RIBs'

Ian's being a little quiet with regard to his pending arrival. No doubt that will all change toward the end of this month.

In anticipation of retaliation.......

by Ian for all the grief he's suffered at the hands of both muself and several others, I thought I'd inflict a bit of masochism with the following shot stolen from another post.

"Yes Ian I know, this is the only view I'll ever get to see of you and your new Rib and yes, I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually"

Fred, may I take this opportunity to congratulate you on achieving full membership status in the NWRibsters. Following careful monitoring of your recent posts I am happy to report that you have passed the sense of humour and wit test with flying colours.......in fact for an accountant you're a bloody laugh
