Jeff, ok, so can we agree that we just both fall into different pigeon holes on a very large scale. Neither at the top, nor the bottom.

Actually, I quite like going fast and skipping over the sea with the boat on its edge. Not my pesent boat, of course. But I wouldn't admit that to a windup merchant.

Don't encourage him. You know he gets all excited if there's some mackerel about.

You're on.

As you've thrown the gauntlet down, I reckon that gives me the choice of date, location and weather.

My second will be calling on your man shortly.

Don't be ridiculous Manning, we can't have an old fool like you tearing about at speed. anyway, neither your doctor, nor your shrink would allow it.

Anyways, I don't have a P18 to hand, so would have to borrow one, or,...saw 10 feet off the back of my 28 and that's the bit with the engines in!

Besides, me keep-net is looking pretty full.

What about a polishing competition?

Um.... I take it that Geography & map reading are not your forte. You do hire someone to to navigate for you - don't you???

Granted we Canucks do in fact get a perverse pleasure in reminding both Yanks and Euros how much larger our country is - and in particular, how much coastline & inland waterways we have to go boating along.


This next image might be a little gratuitous, but we've got this one little bay in particular that...

Don't need to... I can piss all over your big shiny toy with one hand tied behind my back

[Jonny Fuller]

Yeah, sorry, easy mistake, you see the Yanks and Canucks all look, sound and smell the same to us and bleat on in equal measures about how much bigger & better everything they have is, oh, and invariably think the world ends where the waves lap their beach!

I'm sure I don't know what you mean sir and I may call into question the parentage of anyone who does!

The prosecution rests it's case.
