Saildesign and others of same...

Hello..

Sorry folks - got obsorbed into welding up some monocouque frame slash body tubs for some lame *** electric commuter car design - the kid is a complete **** - I would give his name - but I have a wife and mortgage to consider...

THE KID IS JOSH LUMBETON - sounds fake *** - don't invest if he gets the nod to go public...

Anyway - Saildesign and others - I did this bit and my wife liked it - 3ree7en's - I would appreciate SD's input as a 'label' or other...

Sorry folks - been building - yippee - but alas - drinking the same...

So many rich pokes out there willing to let a drunkass build their boat...

Life is good - SD, I would value your opinion - and you can begin with - 'SEAN - YOU ARE A DRUNKASS, BUT, REGARDING THOSE BRILLIANT GRAPHICS'...

Cheers...

SH.

 

Sean, with a name like that, it should be a pontoon boat, not a car. (British English folks maybe the only ones to understand that, or not, but anyway, it's a play on "Twenty-One" (three sevens) which is another name for Blackjack, which is also called "Pontoon")
Now, about those brilliant graphics.... You may want to check that the three-legged thing isn't copyright by the Isle of Man (see http://www.gov.im/isleofman/facts.xml#coat)

Holy Crap...

Hello...

I do get drunk sometimes - what was I 'thinking' here...

One of those rainy nights at home...

I like that coat of arms (coat of legs) - if it is not copyrighted I might have to steal the raven..

Nicely worked out Steve - compliments on your very 'British' play on words Dammit - We'll have you Yanks speaking English in no time...
But I doubt very much whether the Manxmen have a copyright on the tri-leg symbol (motto - which ever way you throw me - I land upon my feet...).
It has it's 'toes' way, way back in man's history - from Norse, Celts, Chinese, Indian - and even your own 'native' Americans have made use of this - or very close versions of the three legged juggernaut.
And note - the Manx version has 'knees' - an item lacking in Sean's excellent design.

 

Bergalia, just cos I live in the States, don't mistake me for one minute for a Yank
I was born here, true, but was moved to England at the impressionable age of 5, and didn't come back here until I was 30. And then I brought an English wife and kids with me. I have now (in the 21 years since I returned) worked for Americans for a whole 2 years.
So... I feel English, I think English, but I have always carried a US passport. To the Yanks, I sound English - to the Brits, I sound American.
Mentally, I grew up English (or British, if you prefer ) and continue to do the Telegraph crossword every day (wonderful thing, this internet thing) and wish the Yanks would learn how to spell "colour" and "harbour" and such. But I wouldn't move back to England if you paid me. Nuh-uh!
Steve "mid-Atlantic, baby...."

 

Delayed by mouthful of 'umble' pie....I knew you couldn't be all bad...
But share your feelings about not wanting to return to 'the auld sod.'
We fled the shores for Australia during the rampant Mad Cow years (errr Margaret Thatcher era) and never looked back. Australia is truly a haven now that Rupert Murdoch is in the US, and Kylie Minogue in the UK.)

 

Bergalia (WTF kind of name izzat anyhoo?),
The Auld Sod, and his country, are just too forkin' crowded, even for an expat-ish kind of fella. Also, the kind of petty crime over there is just too much. Last visit, I had kids sitting on walls spitting on my shoes for competition. Not very nice, even if their aim was lousy.
Steve

 

Ah Steve, that's where you failed as a 'role model'. You should have helped them improve their aim by belting their heads to one side or the other....
Bergalia, according to local worthies, is, or rather was, one of the sub-clans of the original inhabitants, the Yuni tribe who lived along this part of the New South Wales Far South Coast until Jim Cook and Co landed for water.
Bergalia is now not so much a 'village' as a scattering of six 'properties' - mainly dairy farms and, as in my case, a handfull of wilderness acres bordered by the sea.
The Bergalia are long since gone, driven to extinction by forced christianity and 'civilisation'. The only thing roaming my small plot are goats, snakes, wallabies and pimply youth's eyeing my two teenage daughters...

 

Bergalia,
I was taught never to mock the afflicted, so I walked right past 'em without comment.
"Forced Christianity", nice use of words...
Steve

 

You're an old softie Steve. You should have 'afflicted' them first - and then walked 'over' them....

 

Not an old softie - just a softie
I wish!

 

My mistake Steve. It was the forum 'senior' ranking which misled me. Judging from the 1,226 entries after your name it appears you're quite a garrulous young whippersnipper.

 

Bergalia- I am no older than a 50 year old need be. You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.....
Steve

 

As I thought Steve - a garrulous young whippersnipper

 

Bergalia, you should oughta change your handle to "Auld Phart"....
Whippersnapper indeed.
