Brilliant (but tongue in cheek, I hope!)

[DHutch]

Haha, that is good.

- Can get a sample mp3 off here as well. http://www.bru-up.co.uk/music/bru.html

Bit of a genralisation but then its nothing new:

This song was written over 12years ago by Howard Bowden with Bru Peckett , still applies today!

Wonderful!

 

It captures all my thoughts exactly, the snag with sarcasm is that it is very hard to put into a few well directed, succinct words!

It is good.....much better when you hear it as well

bling bridge hole?

 

Would that be an excessively sparkly one then?

[Hairy-Neil]

Excellent generalisation.

 

Presumably you accept the, equally b*llsh*t, 'fact' that all people with modern narrowboats are imbeciles who have no idea how to steer a boat and go far too fast, all the time.

 

Especially those with a bow thruster.....

Hi Boaty Jo,

 

At last - some sense that I can read.

 

- .... .- -. -.- --. --- -.. is my reply.

 

How fast can you type morse? I used to be able to read at 18 wpm on a good day.

 

Can we start some semaphore as well just to remind me of the old days?

Presumably you could interpret my morse as well then? Once upon a time I was happy at 35wpm, I reckon I'd struggle at 18 nowadays.

 

The man who taught me morse worked for the American Embassy, copying the code to a typewriter at 40wpm, 8 hours a day. He was incredible to watch. The strange thing was, he was much slower without a typewriter because to him a dot for example meant "extend the middle finger of left hand forwards and press down".

 

Semaphore, well I can just about remember the mnemonics "A HOT John Wayne" and "URN" but I have to count round from each one which makes a lot slower than my morse.
