Bob, I'm really sorry that I hit you with a squash racquet, but you were winning all the games, weren't you? And you DID drive a Volvo......
Gordon, just you watch out or I'm going to use my walking stick to rearrange your balance weights! and don't you worry about that!
Peter, I haven't drunk champagne since the Hobart was in Melbourne for The Cup in 1978. A memorable occasion that brought home to me the folly of drinking the stuff by the schoonerfull.
And there's no way I'm telling you where I'm staying!

Anyone can be ordinary. Shipwrights choose to be extraordinary!
I'll be at the basin trials all going well, but the kellick steward will still be heading down the coast and not getting in to GI until Saturday morning ETA unknown at this stage. Waiting on a reply to an email to see if she wants to go to the BBQ and sail. Time is of no consequence to me any more, my last working day was last Friday so I should be able to muster Sunday. I'll let you know as soon as possible Rick.

update...

I take great comfort in the knowledge that we'll have some-one amongst us who has a down-to-earth approach to life, a person who is mature beyond his years, a person who can take control of a group of self-opinionated, argumentative old farts, and who will maintain an objective view at all times, one who is skilled with dealing with Police and other Authority figures........
How pukingly obsequious........
What have you got on him Seejay???????
