MFV BF494 'Pansy', an old Motor Fifie Conversion

An interesting first for me today, been doing this internet malarkey, nearly as long as I've been doing this boating malarkey, 20 years man and boy as they say (bit longer with the wet things). But I've been defiled and finally lost my 'never been banned' cherry (was it good for you too!!). Joined a small forum a couple of weeks back. Should I do them the service of a link from a high google ranking boaty site to another?? (answers on a postcard)

Seemed like an interesting place though, and one with good potential, or so I thought, so I gets stuck in, offered a few potential solutions and thoughts to a repair problem someone had, based on past experiences and all that. Big mistake. I wasn't even in full gobshite mode, in fact I hadn't even warmed up, and being the new boy was on my bestest behaviour and wore clean pants at all times

So after getting shot down in flames (familiar territory, so no big deal). I suggested they should just ignore everything I'd said. clearly a heinous crime, and thusly I was banned - "petulance in my recent missives" Well apparently I wasn't banned - I'm "just not a member anymore". Hadn't even got my post count into double figures

So whats wrong with redecking a boat with conkers and butterflies wings anyway

Nivva been banned - my arse, and if you've genuinely nivva been banned from a foraye then - whassamaddawichoo.
