Don’t worry Prime Minister, that heavy anchor we tied to your legs is simply to stop us drifting when we get to the photoshoot area.

Oi! Reporter! This was not pre-planned, we are 2 meters apart, there is no cake or curry in the boat, no rules have been broken, and Carrie knows I am here!"

You idiot! I wanted a girl who peddled it 'round town, not one who paddled it 'round the tarn.

"Row row row your boat gently up creek
Starmer's caught with trousers down, isn't life a shriek!"

Ok, Liz, now a verse about Putin...

"Pole pole pole your boat gently like a punt...."

"...I’m the last man left in the Air Force,
It’s quiet-but, that apart
There are plenty worse off, for example
The Only Sea Lord, for a start
He was called out last Wednesday evening
(Joint Ops with the Army, my oath)
But their rowing boat sank in the Channel
Which obliged me to rescue them both..."

(Grateful acknowledgement to whoever wrote that wonderful poem)

It looks like the tide's starting to ebb on this one, so I'll aim to judge it around 0100 Harpsund time.

Boris wondered if christening it Moskva was actually another stupid decision.

Boris, my feet are getting wet. When you drained the bilges earlier, did you put the bung back in?

No one mentioned the Treaty of Örebro. but lots of great entries, as always. Or come to think if it, those two facts may not be entirely unrelated . . .

In third place, I have Nutloose with: "I hadn't the heart to tell them we bought it at Ikea and we still have all these screws left over."

In second, Big Pistons Forever with: "I don't need a life jacket I can walk on water."

And the winner is . . . wait for it. . . SASless with: "At least he only got caught with a pair of Oars this time!"

The trophy will be along as soon as I find a paddle.

0536. hrs here upon learning of my temporary possession of Mr. Coffmans Trophy.....and am about to take the boat out and attempt to fetch home some fish for the Mr. JR Mewing and Commodore Frady's dinner.

Upon my return about Noon I shall post a photo....unless I wind up sweatily involved with a pair of either Oars or Whores then I shall be a bit late on that ETA.
