Mind you I notice "Mr Rusty" is no longer alone.Somebody else has knicked the name.

But we all know that you're the real "Mr Rusty" or at least your boat is. :D

The boy stood on the burning deck

His leg was all aquiver,

He coughed, his leg fell off

and floated down the river.

A variation:

The boy stood on the burning deck

The flames he couldn't stop 'em

They blew right up his trouser leg 

And burnt his little bottom.

Because..... The ironwork we have acquired to build our prototype on is from a boat called Norway. And, I always wanted a small Woolwich replica called Magrathea. She won't be a small Woolwich replica... But. You know there is a hitchhikers link there. And I like hitchhikers. :)

I think Magrathea is a very pretty name for a boat.  :wub:

I think I'm going to fit an infinite impossibility drive to our boat. Anyone know how much power it takes and if my 55Amp alternator will power it?

All it requires is a nice strong cup of tea.

The probability of it working is. 2 to the power of 800,000 to 1 against, and falling…

There once was a man from Bombay

Took a slow boat to China one day. 

He was strapped to the tiller,

With a sex starved gorilla. 

And China’s an awful long way.
