Captain Ness

[lauraness]

I am on a raft in the sea tomorrow. Wish me luck.

[Sneckboy]

A bit of context would help! I've got a raft of debts to pay-off, wish me luck?

[lauraness]

A raft. In the sea. What more context do you need.

I think it's styrofoam. I have a wooden paddle. Wearing a nice purple wetsuit. Trying to win top prize. 88 pints of beer.

Good luck Cap'n,  just don't put them tharr pints down the hatch, remember you are on a raft  

[lauraness]

I might have a rum before I set sail though. Helps my balance and all that.

[+bughtmaster]

Ahhh, another rum do eh!...................never did my balance any good..................bank that is.

[lauraness]

Everyone seems to have money problems today. Just do what I do and ignore them. Dance around in your garden in a tutu and fairy wings singing a song.

200 metres of all out effort. Anyone can participate.  Very popular  sport.

[bauhaus]

Take it you got to know the winners to share out their prize. Nowt worse than a prize hogger, especially 88 pints, was it each or for each team. You weren't near Shetland today

[bauhaus]

Just sussed the raft race. Judith giving away 88 pints, take it Rob the chef took part. Will be over the Ba in a couple of weeks to sample the offerings

[lauraness]

Yes His team always win. I would steal a couple of pints but I don't drink beer.

Not near Shetland but I think they recalled the helicopter just incase. It went off in a hurry anyway.

[tm4tj]

Well done Nessy. Imagine winning a bottle of shampoo for coming second.

 

Unfortunately four died in the helicopter crash, so not all good.
