[Mudnut]

Hi,just came onboard,hoping to learn a few things about most things.As yet I haven't got a boat,but am hoping to buy a ferro Hartley or similar type sailing boat to live on permanently and sail out my days where-ever it takes me.I am registered on other sailing forums under the same name and look forward to asking a few Questions and learning from others in the know.See ya round,Mudnut.

Hey,safewalrus,is that a ferro joke?I haven't got my boat yet,but I do plan to name her "Pharohcey"If ya can read between the lines.Thanks.It's a well known fact that the best backyard FC's were built in England.Its a long way from HMS SIRUS,"that's the first boat my ancestors ever sailed on"Who needs stars and stripes when ya family flag is up and down arrows??"

No, no, Mudnut. It is a well known fact that the best ferros were built in Scotland....and I had a hand in a few of them (by the way if you find a hand, you might return it...address on application...)
But despite your ignorance - ceid mille feault....

[safewalrus]

Oh come on you cannot be Sirus (that's subtle that is - about as subtle as a brick, one of Bergalia's - he's always using second hand jokes!)

But which Sirus? there have been several! Bergalia remembers the Cruiser! (19canteen or something)

[Mudnut]

It was HMS sirus,convict supply ship.The First Fleet,I thought being from England you would have caught onto that..Me being an ozzie an all.If ya had some bread stealing ancestors we could have been cousins or somthing.The other two quarters of me are German/french.4711 and cake eaters go figure!!Is there anywhere to go on this forum If ya just want to waffle?It's why I got into PC's to start with Im on other sailing forums for knowledge in the fine art and plan to be living aboard full time as soon as I sell the house and buy a yacht.Im not really a designer of any sort,just thought I'd pick up some need knowledge on this site.anyway....Bla Bla Bla,ya get the drift>

[safewalrus]

Well Mudnut the 'open' section is considered the waffle section but be warned you need a vicious wit, theres a lot of criminals out there ready to take the wee wee at half the chance! Most funnily enough from the antipods, can see why we deported you lot now!

Just so your sure HMS Sirus is a well known name for a Naval vessel within the Royal Navy - not just your granpappy's ship but others since! The POM's had a 'dogged' likeing for their 'stars' Still do tho' they ain't got one at the moment! but give 'em 'time'

If you need any practice with mixin concrete - you can mae me a pair of cement shoes first off!

Cheers!

'Stone' the crows trouty they'd be useful in the security trade!

[Mudnut]

Trouty,I guess thats another Ferro joke!I drive a forklift for a living,and my latest job is working for a company named Bristile"Pioneer concrete"Subsidury Bla Bla blarr,after looking at the Quality side of things,cement just wont do what ya think it might...If ya could re-constatute pumice that would make for interesting shoes,sort of keep ya afloat from the feet up,end result would be the same.Funny that"sink E'm or Float E'm.I actually carn't believe you were so mild on that post about Iraq,what ya said was only the tip of the iceburg,Thanks for the welcome,regret how I blundered in,should have been sober.No hard feelings?Mudnut?Queensland?Hmm
