Crew Wanted: Delivery Skipper - St. Maarten to Ibiza

[lennyjarvis]

Good on you Palarran I agree with all you say. I have crossed the Atlantic 4 times on my old Van De Stadt. 1st time with 2 girls as only crew, neither with any experience. I had much advice from people like rebel heart which had I heeded I would still have a real job, and grey hair. ps I can start tomorrow if your not fixed already!

I recently ready an article on "Wired", stating that a large portion of the world's economy is on the grey/black market, and that many of the multinational companies sell to them through the back door.

LMAO.... needed a magazine to tell you that... just watch your average politicians 'assets' change... that'll give you a better scale..
PS; No I'm not being Political... its a job as well.... just another door to door salesman

And, is Lloyds reputable?

I haven't read to the end of this thread yet but your attitude is obnoxious. Haughty, arrogant, know-it-all and defensive. You should spend some time trying to get your social skills up to par with your self-esteem.

I only cited the magazine article, because actual experience doesn't count for much here.

[boatman61]

LOL.... its only a forum.... and his boat and money...
Calm down...
As it happens he's a nice bloke just need to get to know the different folks type of humour... some come for facts now and then...
A few come often for a jaw....
it comes after awhile...

I still have the tears running down my face from laughing when I see the photo of Kerry the delivery captain. This thread is the best of this year up 'till now!

ciao!
Nick.

[captain58sailin]

Exactly. And the pessimist is an optimist with experience! So, that would make a pessimist an optimist with wisdom that came too late

ciao!

Obnoxious - Check
Haughty - Check
Arrogant - Check
Know-it-All - Disagree
Defensive - Check

I can definatly be an obnoxious, arrogant prick when I'm on the defensive. But I typically don't try to impress as being a know-it-all. If I thought I knew it all, I wouldn't participate in this sailing forum.

Did you happen to read the post where I apologized to Shorebird for my tone?

[foolishsailor]

Damn, i have to agree.

You get thumbs up from me.

But wait a minute, werent you "unsubscribed" from this dead thread that i was artificially trying to keep alive?
