I the Model Boats magazine a few decades ago there was a model boat kit review by a friend of mine and one of the photos was on the cover.

The graphics designer decided that the picture looked better if laterally inverted (going the other way). However his nautical experience was zero as the starboard side now had a red light.

Also when colour was first introduced there were just 4 pages of colour in the middle. A photo of a model boat was spread across 2 pages with the front half in colour and the back half black and white!

I know England is more advanced than we are, Garth, but they're NOT A DAY ahead of us, just a few hours😜

I live in Canada & if I don't look at the Web sight at 9:00 P.M I get you need to answer question the next day & sometimes I forget to go on web site to answer Question because England is a day ahead of North America I think But if the world is flat then I must be wrong.

Remember Port is a red wine so the question is . Is there any port left on board. And the red light is left & the Green light is on the right side. I us that so If I build a model & want navigation lights I us that quote . But if you buy them from a hobby store you cant go wrong.

Another dumb question. As already mentioned by Ross you have to assume you are standing on the boat looking forward.

I assumed standing on the vessel😀

Nick, that could be gauche or sinister

(yes, I am left handed)

Same old question which raises the same response. Are you in front of the boat facing the bow or on the boat facing the bow.🤔

Pass the Port around the table if there's any Left...

Disregard

Hi MouldBuilder,
There was a time I would have agreed with you on that.
I am now married a third time, believe it or not back to my first wife, this time round, yes we find we can both negotiate around things very well together now. I WAS the problem in my first marriage, along with the other women that I was associating with.
I am a one woman man now, The problem now is a shed full of still about 26 model boats, I am now slowly sell some off. I have sold 6 already.
We went to a boot fair once and she told me NO MODEL BOATS TODAY. okay I said, I looked at the hull of a 4ft Percassa MTB several times and the guy said the 4th time my final price is £10. She then said to me okay here you are and she gave ME the £10.
I love her to bit's. I will NEVER sell all of them and she knows that.
I have just bought a MacGregor II digimax and has turned out to never have been used. What a bargain that was, it is going to go in my Aerokits Sea Queen.

What’s the difference between a wife and a terrorist.
You can negotiate with a terrorist.

As I prepare for my son's wedding I recall this one...

What's the difference between a vulture and a mother-in-law?

At least the vulture lets you die before it eats your heart out!

😂🤣

Did you hear what happed when a man didn't pay his bill for exorcism? He was repossessed.

Another repeat Another repeat Another repeat Another repeat Another repeat ... YAWN🙄
Time to give the AI a rest? PERMANENTLY!! It has outstayed it's welcome.

Thinks- What's the retirement age for AI?
Thinks 2- How many times will AI make the same mistake before it learns?
(I think we've all suffered from absolutely nonsensical answers to searches for a specific type of product. Sometimes leading to a product range we never knew existed, much less what is it used for!! Careful with the word 'model' in your searches the results can be ... 😮🙈)
Thinks 3- Can it learn at all, from mistakes or otherwise?
Thinks 4- Or does it just plod on with it's original algorithm?
Thinks 5- If it CAN learn (as RI does), and modify it's algorithm accordingly, how long will it be before it decides that we (humans) are a redundant hindrance? Think of HAL9000!😉
Thinks 5a- How much AI is used to control our infrastructure: electricity (think of Tschernobyl 💥), water, traffic lights, defence systems (reprise Thinks 5)💥💥 ...?

AND NOW, For something completely different.

I have had a couple of set backs on answers lately, got this one right but lurking in the high 80's now.

It all makes a good talking point and generates much comment.
Off to the lake after I have had a coffee. Looks like a nice day but not much wind.

The invisible man married the invisible women, the kids weren't much to look at either

Full disclosure.. I borrowed this from one of the later “Ghostbuster” movies.

A grasshopper walks into a bar. The bartender exclaims “Hey!! We have a drink named after you!”
The grasshopper excitedly replies “ you have a drink named STEVE?”

Yeah, I’ll leave too….🤣🤣🤣

A cross between Kiffing and Tippling I believe Ross.
Something to do with smoking juniper leaves and sniffing gin perhaps?

A helicopter IS like a kayak! They both have 2 blades, occasionally 4, connected in the centre, that angle back and forth to control thrust and direction. (and they are a b---- to stay balanced)😁

I once found a canoe on a reef. I called the place Keanu Reeves

A Coracle perhaps Ross😉

Commodore, I went to the doctors last week, I said "Doctor, I keep thinking I am a pair of curtains". He looked at me over the top of his glasses and replied "pull yorself together man!".

Roy, how does "confirmed paranoia" sound? And, just because you are paranoid it doesn't mean they're out to get you...

Educated guess for the day 😀

Also seems familiar as a QoTD🙄
She is not just 'one of' but THE oldest naval vessel still in commission and afloat.

I went to a psychiatrist and said, 'doctor nobody will talk to me"

He said, "Next".
