Just about sums up this shite club!!

Ah - the accuracy was re the Argo stuff, Iggy. I've no idea if the seafaring bit's accurate, although I do sometimes take the small people on a boat trip. Torpoint Ferry and back.

Now. This is an important bit -

What as FES to do with the boardroom

Not only that, but does this mean the boardroom will still be standing for the 'next few weeks'?

By the boardroom he obviously means the prawn sandwich buffet? I've never been to one so that's only a guess though. As for the the start date I wonder if anybody really knows. My guess is that the shops are not selling like the hot cakes that he hoped for, I read somewhere else that the school has problems with funding, what a shame we don't have a transparent owner as we will all have to guess and speculate now.

Posted by porky,

When a few of us forced our way into the Board Room (Zee and Oddball to name just two), Wraithall, Dennerly and Stapleton were in there.

The staff were not being paid.

That was my point. Let's not hold them up as a shining beacon eh? That disgusted me then, and still does.

Yet Brent must have been served by staff that were only being paid by the generosity of the fans and the GTs many a time.

its the sort of question that the Trust and the PASB (if they had balls) should be asking. Holding the custodian to account and safe guarding the future of the club is in their manifestos i believe.

Shouts bosun Bacon the Mayflower is going aground! Dont worry Bacon, shes well insured so be a good man and cast off will you?
We're doomed I tell 'ee.

Not just accurate, but beautiful.

 

  I've been expecting Seadog to pitch in any minute and tell me what's wrong with my analogy from a technical point of view.  

Strictly steam, apart from Mirror Dinghies in the DHS sailing club, but having read a lot of canvas related fiction and non fiction, sounds good.
