  Bad Haircuts
 | | And you're actually smiling? I mean, who dared you KJU? |
We've all had at least one. One that we'd admit to, at any rate, which simply means there could be plenty more. Still, there were others who adopted the one really poor look and then clung to it, much like the skipper with the helm in his hands as the band played on to ensure the ambience was just right, and other more officious ones kept rearranging those deckchairs...
So coming back to haircuts then, and two guys who know a hell of a lot about the subject have been postulating vigorously of late. They come from opposing sides of the Pacific, and their political standpoints are about as weird and wacky as the ‘dos' they so proudly wander around with.
I mean honestly, didn't someone tap them on the shoulder and proffer a mirror? Oh that's right! You'd be met with the line, ‘You're fired!' Funny how on the Western side of the Pacific that would mean you're terminated, literally, and over on the other hemisphere it just means you're looking for a new job... Hhhmmmmm.

Having put the marionettes away, and stopped creating completely inappropriate, and so un-PC lines as to be lined up for one of KJU's little parties, I can say that this undoubtedly all stemmed from the giggle of the week, which came courtesy of Rob Mundle. So thank you, Rob, for revealing the news, which subsequently provided me with the theme for this little ditty.

Now coming back to boats, for we are a nautical newsletter after all, and I got to wondering what could be the equivalent of a bad haircut. Have to be a paint job or something, was what I settled on and pondered. Then, as fortune would have, and whilst I was looking for something else entirely, I came across this picture.
The faux mahogany treatment was just awesome, and the dodger so truly spectacular, as to make you think the painting with the three-inch brush was not so bad, after all. Wow! That is some sort of statement, and what a hell of a juxtaposition to have one going, ‘It's not so bad...' Yeah right. Play that funky music, white boy! Oh, ooooooops. That was last week's theme. My bad.
 | | Redeeming features? Um. It's afloat? Nup! Can't go too far? Yep. Certainly glad about that!!! John Curnow |
Righto. Settling into all things to do with real yachting, it is good to see that after early bird entry closed, 35 Etchells are off to Mooloolaba next month. Now just as Tim Shaw said, “But wait! There's more.” Now you will have to go to the website for other news, where you'll find plenty of things like articles on the Vendée, the AST, Whitbread (as the VOR was then known by its Pommie beer sponsor), Jon Sanders, Antigua, Top of the Gulf, MC38s, Paralympic Classes, the looming AC35, GC32s, Hammo (also marching towards us), and much, much more.
