April fool disappointment.

With 39 minutes to go I am disappointed in the regular comedic posters!

Willk et al, as far as I'm aware, there have been no good April fools posts.

No discounted petrol threads, really cheap boats, unbelievable new rules of the water etc etc

TBH, my heart wasn't in it. Recently I've been typing posts and then thinking "Why bother?" before cancelling them. Gary at Redbay says this is normal when faced with the prospect of not owning a RIB.

oh dear willk

It's a sad sad day when even you lose heart.

These times of austerity really are filtering down to daily life.

Not even the Ribnet virtual world can escape it.

Just pretend. Perhaps copy and past a picture of a tasty Redbay and post it as yours, asking the RN followers what options you should add. After all, it is only what we believe that counts!
