Actually, Mike is not who I had in mind at all. Quite the reverse. I greatly admire his efforts to get race 1 up and running. Without that, it wouldn't have even got this far.

So you would be happy to be very many thousands of pounds out of pocket rigging your boat and thousands for the entry fee that the organisers used to swan around europe giving it the big one.

My comments are not jealousy or revenge but sympathy for those that lost thousands.

As the say "It could of been me"

But I decided to build a swimming pool instead with my cash.


I do hope this post hasn't offended any one

Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained.

I see there's a new thread - Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained - about VC. It makes an interesting read. Surprised it wasn't posted on this thread.

This is by far the dullest thread on boatmad. The same shit being said ( or not as is also being the case) time after time.

It really should be moved to talking bollocks.

No the relentless crap posts bitching about the organizers too. It really is boring now. everyone gets that some are pissed off....... we gathered that ages ago. Personally i dont even bother reading half the posts now and i bet many others do the same.

As for the organizers... Aiden for christ sake just say yes or no for the event and put us all out of various miseries.....

As a fan I am just as bored of the negative posts and as i am to no information.

Now thats a liberal post for me!
Now...... where's my bovril...

What's happening

Blimp. Do you have anything to tell us or are you planning on creeping in under the radar now. Have the UIM said yes or is the massive event in effect a rally? Just asking.

Mrs Smilie - do you know which of the 8 is actually going now? Perhaps not. You always get a ribbing for telling the truth.
