Chris,

I reckon you've cracked it...my wife normally needs a tow rope to get her anywhere near the rib "it's too cold, moan ,moan"

This is something we are seriously looking at, crazy as it sounds, but why not!!

Do you (or anyone else) know a ships captain who would do this for us.

WOT me to the church on time!


Hahaha

Top smiley!

The biblical significance of RIBs.

Think it's a great idea since man, woman and rib have a long, even biblical association. Woman having emerged from 'rib' as free gift to entertain man.

Sadly (like kiddies with cardboard boxes at Christmas), many men ignore their lovely ladies and end up fixated on the rib .

Looking forward to the photos!

Kathleen (& Paul)

Marriage on a rib

Whats the difference between marriage and a rib???
The marriage will go faster, bumpier ride, and will run out of gas far faster than a good rib.....

Besides, the rib does not talk back and will at least edge forward no matter how poorly the throttle is applied. Oh and the ribs performance is probably more dependable!!!!!!!!

well i think in some instances the rib will last longer than the marriage....but believe me the rib will run out of gas a damm site sooner than me.......and my performance is very very dependable.

Call me a cynic, but does that mean in 10 years time you'll never stop gassing and be full of wind?

I am sure that everyone on here knows exactly what i ment!! however, can i only assume that this type of reply would only come from a s#xually dysfunctional member...IS THAT THE CASE?

if it is i suggest u deny it, urgently, he he

but then again your boat is called psychosis, you enjoy worrying sheep(while wearing wellies, no doubt)
and to top it off you are a self confessed bar steward with demonic tendancies

I'd offer to show you but I wouldn't want to upset my girlfriend (Or Chris!)
Besides, I don't DO northern anymore-it's a bad habit that got me into a lot of trouble



Zip ties are better than wellies by the way

Congratulations by the way Chris-she's bonkers! Just how a girl should be!

Yes you can if ...

We 'should' have done one last year, but could not in the end - but you can now.
If you go through your local authority, then they ask for a huge amount of liability insurance, and it makes it far to expensive to consider.
This - in scotland - ruled out a registrar, but you can now ask a minister to do it, as long as he is 'game'
You do however have to give a certain time + co - ordinates you will be at (where the service will take place) so basically have to be on at anchor.

Funnily enought this is supposed to be so as if someone wants to object they know where to go to? have another boat ready at the pier and charge 5 X as much for the objector, i reckon.

Got one poss planned for this year, but if you are serious - will arrange for you, and will do all the boat side of things for free for you.

hope helps.

Pete
