    This is definitely mine. Must have been around, oh possibly 40 years ago, that I was on this dream of a paddle steamer going round the Isles off the West Coast. Still going strong as well.

    Marvellous memories of a bygone time.

    What's your favourite and abiding water travelling memory?

    Perhaps Dev can recount his incredible survival in the freezing Atlantic in 1912?

    Got the ferry from the Harbour to Puerto Del Carmen last week.

    The wee darkie lassie walked past me as I was standing up and brushed her hand against my cock.

    At the time I thought it was an accident but now I'm thinking she was wanting to give me AIDS

    You got to watch out for these darkies.

    Sometimes their "presents" can be deadly.

    Really hope we exit with no deal.

    Then watch some of the other European nations wanting some of the same.

    France and Germany are almost there already.

    The Isle of Wight ferry, many a summer spent there as a yoot.

    I was actually in the sailing club at school, we'd go out to a lake and mess around in boats which was made all the more fun by the fact that you could miss lessons to do it. Deliberately capsizing then re-floating a boat was the stand-out best day we had all year.

    Once jumped on the poverty ferry to Amsterdam. It was rocky and made me sick for hours. I didn't like it and never done it again. I've used the ferry to cross from one side of the Tyne to the other. That's not so bad.

    Ferry from Ibiza to Formentera, in really rough seas, every ****er was sick as death; there was paper sickbags raining off the top of the boat, getting blown back into the open decks below. I mainly remember a hail of puke, and frenzied seagulls squawking and flapping about like angels of death.

    Good times.

    Is this because I didn't like your post before?

    Btw, that comment is a guaranteed like from Toby.

    No it's because you're a mackem and I imagined you'd take offence at being called a geordie but I hadn't taken into account just how stupid you really are.
