Pinkbutterflygirl Posted September 14, 2010 #26 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Gosh I dont think anyone would survive a Keel Hauling on such a big ship as the Dawn or Jewel. :O We should put whingers in the scuppers with the hose pipe on them.

Haha, that's for drunken sailors! But I reckon it would do for whingers as well. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floatie Posted September 14, 2010 #29 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Some people are behind the door when common sense is given out, I think. :eek: :) That just about sums it up. :) But they still have to be polite when answering the fools and that is something that takes a special person, definitely not me if you get the drift. :rolleyes: It is amazing how much some people complain and seem to take great joy in doing so as well. It is fair enough when there is something worthwhile to have a bleat about but these days you have to be flexible or you snap pretty quickly. I recommend they have a pill for such people, 50% happy weed 50% arak... take several a day whilst on the ship... all their problems would disappear!!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cazz0069 Posted October 24, 2010 Author #31 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I thought of another one. Did any of the other states used to have the RACV commercial (i think its NRMA and RACQ elsewhere) But the motto was `Call RACV They Care` I would just say Excuse me Sir or Madam, We have credited your account with 40 cents. Call RACV, they care` WE DONT :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the wombat Posted October 25, 2010 #33 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Last year I researched a history paper for my class on Pirates and Privateers and the pirates didn't do the keel hauling - the Navy did......... What course was that, Sandielle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandielle Posted October 25, 2010 #34 Share Posted October 25, 2010 What course was that, Sandielle? I'm not doing a course, Wombat. I'm a tutor for our local U3A and run a history class. It's not a structured course, but I present a short history of various subjects that are not widely known. I research information from books and the internet and then weave it all into a paper. It's a great way of learning lots of interesting (and sometimes useless :rolleyes:) stuff. This particular one was on the lives and customs etc, of several pirates. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
