Trump better take care of his eye sight. He might not be able to wear glasses😎. He might say stuff like "I cannot see Kamala doing a better job of falling down a flight of steps than Biden did."

So according to this genius the wheel of a car is not the wheel that steers it. Its the wheel that alters the direction the wheel travels in but it is not a helm as its not on a boat. So when asking it to spel orange it would retort with "the fruit or the colour"?

Clearly the questions are not keeping up with current trends. Durban is currently 187 hours behind schedule and ships are lying on anchor outside waiting their turn. Clearly the right answer in in 2024 is Lagos.

Assuming one relies on OI and not AI, the UK should get a gold star for today's question. I put it to Ney and he obey

I can almost picture that. A Triceratops on a tricycle chasing the Tritanic and poking it with a trident. 😜

I can see the South African police putting out orders for Trilobites. Three-headed police dogs can solve crime in a third of the time.

Interestingly its also called a screw conveyor and a auger. We used it extensively in the fish meal production processes to pump raw fish from the boat to the cookers. In Woliie's photos you will also see a dewatering reel. Water and solids are separated by pumping it through a screw which has a sieve on the outer tube.

Suppose its the politically correct way of saying its a Cock fight. Pretty much illegal in most jurisdictions though. 😁

When it happened is more important than where it happened. Besides if it happened, there is bound to be a post or sign to that effect. This allows people from both sides of the pond to discuss why it happened.

Getting confused about the green light? Heres a way to remember it. You GO to the Stars. So green is GO and the Starboard is where all the stars are pinned.

Another ambiguous question. Largest by trade volume or surface area? Lets find out. The answer is however both. By trade and surface area.

📝 International Model Boat Show SA - Update & Cancellation Notice

Lew, I was hoping to get an airport within that 40 miles, but the US charter flights are more expensive than the UK flights, roughly about $300k more.
But like one commentator said on the Leamington cancellation, the show did not attract visitors to benefit the sponsors resulting in less sponsors which attracted less visitors. It's a catch 22.
Even if with 200 free flights, I doubt I would get enough interest.
You are very right though. Our "Biggest" club is 900 miles away, and they declined a national show a few years ago. What is funny though, when it comes to DF95 racing, there does not seem to be a "distance" issue.
And with the new changes in EU travel, things aren't looking much better.
Unfortunately for me, I am an eternal optimist.

Lew this sounds all too familiar. I often ask myself (because I will be stoned and hanged if I dare asking it out loud), why do people join a MBC if they have no intention of participating? But then, I also realise that the "change" and "having fun" are opposing concepts. Bringing something new into a club is not good, and if you don't do it, it's not good. But bring a TV crew and everyone, even the long over-due members, reaches out to the cameras. Human nature! Weirdest substance in the lab.

It is with slight disappointment that we have to inform you all that we have decided to cancel the event. Only 2 of the 35 model boat clubs in the UK showed signs of life, but not sufficient to warrant a £1 million project.
Given the commentary on the cancellation of the IMBS 2023 UK in Leamington, I won't blame anyone for saying "I told you so!".

The question should have read what side of a ship is to your left when looking towards the stern. I got it right because I applied the mindless thinking process. Knowing the crafters of these quizzes has never set foot onboard.
