It's true they are truly international! Sitting fishing on the jetty in Marsascala in Malta on Sunday morning, a bloke with a drop dead gorgeous maltese girl in the tiniest thong goes past me in a 12ft displacement dinghy with steam p***ing out of the tell-tale of the 8HP Yamaha outboard on the back of this thing.
I called out to him that he had a problem with his engine & he turned back & came into the jetty, I pointed out to him that without water circulating the engine would overheat & seize before too long, I told him to poke some wire up the tell-tale to see if it was blocked (it obviously wasn't because the steam was full bore).
However his attitude was "My frend lends me thisa boat, anda he say everyting is perfecto, so why you dont minda u own f***ing buziness & fisha for de leetle feesh ina da arbor" ( not EXACTLY his words but the gist of it), so off goes "Manuel" & his gorgeous companion out into the deep blue Med!
About 2hrs later I am still sat on the jetty when "Manuel" is towed in by a 24ft(ish) Ranieri with another bronze adonis at the helm, & the thong clad beauty is aboard the big boat & not the dinghy. I acknowledged them as they went past & thought no more about it, until about 10 mins later an old banger pulled up at the end of the jetty & out gets "Manuel" & his model & they walk down the jetty. I am expecting him to come & say "I should have listened to what you said", but no instead he says "You try to maker me looka da idiota in fronta ofa my girla friend!", to which I reply "No you ARE an idiot for ignoring good advice"! & my son (who was sat next to me) says "Here is some more good advice, f**k off before she finds out just how big a knob you really are!"
Dont you just love it when a plan comes together, (& a big arsed son comes down to bring you a cold beer & see what you have caught!):roll1:
