..Right, here is this weeks competition..

Who owns the big scrumptious boat here on the waterfront in which town?

And to make it even more difficult - what is the connection between me, the town and 1976?

This weeks prize is something really special - so special that I havent worked out what it will be yet!!

To stop Pepper and Bluebell bagging the prize yet again, they are banned from having a stab at the answer until midnight on the 16th October - So have a go quickly before Clever Dick and Bright Bluebell get stuck in..

 

[pepper]

Oooo now thats not fair!

 

[Bluebell]

Awww! I know!!!! Can I put my hand up???

 

[claude van rouge]

This is all my own work!!!

But is the yacht the Tatoosh one of three yachts owned by the co-founder of Microsoft, Paul Allen. It is pictured berthed at Cape Town.

And to make it even more difficult - what is the connection between me, the town and 1976?

You were probably thrown out for being a disruptive influence :smile:

Extra competition :eek:
Can anyone name Paul's other two yachts and who built the Tatoosh and when?

 

[pepper]

Dont know who built them but I know the father of a chap who has just renovated one of Bill Gates's yachts at La Rochelle, does that count?

 

[Bluebell]

I've just been on the phone to your pal Andy Sive, Ian. He tells me what you got up to in those days!!!!!

 

[claude van rouge]

Pepper

You get 10 extra Brownie points

I have only been to La Rochelle once but I was in good company at the time.

No prize but can you name the other three forum members I was with (besides the ones pictured below) and the name of the R4 we were in?

 

[claude van rouge]

This is Bluebell's toy boy and her yacht :roll:

 

[Bluebell]

Ooooh! I've had to pretend the computer is broken so Mr B doesn't see that!!!!!

..Well done Claude..

..Absolutley correct and well done on getting in before Bluebell and Pepper..now for your prize..what shall I send you?

By the way, you seem to live in Sloane et Loire and Bluebell live in Sunny Burgundy - you must be very close to her?

And for you interest, I was in Cape Town in 1976 protesting as much as my 25 yer old body would let me against apartheid!!

Getting the answer before Bluebell or Pepper is prize enough.

By the way, you seem to live in Sloane et Loire and Bluebell live in Sunny Burgundy - you must be very close to her?

I am

 

[ian Stanbury]

..How close..

..Less than 50 kilometers?

Your prize is in tomorrows post and will prove to be a huge personal delight and if you see Bluebell, you can show her your prize as well.

She is also getting last weeks prize in tomorrows post of the old Country Life magazine - I know she used to have a subscription and I am sure it will bring tears to her eyes..

Talking of Berry Head, this is my new trawler boat - called amazingly enough 'Berry Heads' Bluebell'

But mon cheri, I'm very close to you too!
