Lets get bidding!!! :smt038

[Redmist]

Wonder if they have a 'buy it now'?

[Tomor]

HMS Campbeltown looks the best IMO, could moor it on the river Blackwater. Whatcha think?

[Spank86]

Now remind me, which way do I spin the tiller to turn left?

[Thunderace]

How do you spin a tiller? Did you mean which way do I turn the helm? Or move the tiller?

[Spank86]

Sorry sailor, I'm all at sea with such things.

[Thunderace]

It's OK Ad! For future reference........

Which way do I spin the tiller to turn left?

In nautical terms........

Which way do I move the tiller to take a starboard tack?

And before anyone gets all clever with the inevitable "port is left you idiot" type nonsense.:smt014

If you turn to your port side, you are on a starboard tack and vice versa!;)

The only good thing about the Army was all that free sailing!:)

Blah blah blah turning left and right in English!

[Spank86]

I always preferred larboard to port.

[Mark_h]

It's all somewhat academic as it'd be too wide to go about on the Blackwater anyway. Will be spending a lot of time in reverse.

[ClunkintheUK]

I'm usually more fond of the cheeseboard than port.

Mmmmmm..... Nice chunk of Shropshire Blue, celery chunks, few grapes. Although a nice LBV port to go with it would not be turned down.

Damn. Feeling hungry now.
