Hi Ryan! Well done on your great efforts and progress already, I have popped the above link on my Facebook wall to help spread the word that tiny bit further, do n't forget folks to Gift Aid your donations where possible so that the RNLI can claim back a further 25% from the taxman

Apparently, if you own any kind of lifeboat these days you must publicly confess and then pay a fine..see Reply#17..at a Gallery near you...

Does that include this little one next to my Flying Christine??

OH H***

ayrshire andy · « **Reply #29 on:** February 22, 2012, 11:15:07 pm »

Yes... and we can always modify the rules for it to include the big one as well Neil!!!

you're out for blood here,

ayrshire andy · « **Reply #31 on:** February 22, 2012, 11:31:17 pm »

Yes indeed sir, you are in enough trouble already what with TWO

(according to the rules which I have just modified especially for you) undeclared lifeboats in the one bathtub...that boat in your avatar pic...is that a lifeboat?...looks like a lifeboat to me...

My lifeboat is 55 years old
and a proper lifesaver

She is very expensive to run
and hard to service

but I knew all that when I
married her

I am willing to pay the 'fine' lads
whenever I get her permission

Don't you think there should be a fine for forum members that do not possess or have never built a lifeboat too. I am guilty on both counts, so I will pay 20 pounds towards the gas, OOP'S Petrol, or one leg of the drive if that is O/K. Tell me which leg. Where do I send my fine. Mick B. PS = Post a map of the route & show which legs are sponsored & the ones still waiting for a sponsor,I bet it will be sold out in a week or two. Good Luck all the way.

ayrshire andy · « **Reply #34 on:** February 23, 2012, 09:12:07 am »

NORSEMAN...we will graciously allow you to pay the fine on the assumption that your good lady's permission is In The Post...

IRISHCARGUY....an excellent suggestion which closed off a huge hole in our fast developing rules, which now are....

RULE #1: If you own or have ever owned anything which in any way shape or form could be mistaken or even suspected of being a lifeboat, you must pay a fine at the link below or at the Great Lifeboat Picture Gallery ont Model Boating page.

RULE #2: If you are guilty of the heinous crime of never or not currently owning a lifeboat as defined in Rule #1, you must pay a fine as above.

RULE #3: If none of the above apply to you, for the avoidance of doubt you must pay a fine anyway.

All fines payable to: http://virginmoneygiving.com/RyanBlessingtonRNLI2012 .

Happy giving!

No , no , definitely NO............I ain't getting stung for an ambulance launch.......it ain't self righting...........

ayrshire andy · « **Reply #36 on:** February 23, 2012, 11:16:58 am »

Ah so you are then guilty of the possession of a non-lifeboat

under Rule #2 (modified) as well as me already having you bang to rights under Rules #1 and #3...and those are just the ones we know about!

madmax · « **Reply #37 on:** February 23, 2012, 07:24:13 pm »

hi all
what is the fine for not owning or building a life boat
regards all
madmax

Norseman · « **Reply #38 on:** February 23, 2012, 07:53:06 pm »

Neil you could get into trouble in an empty room, me too. Who in their right mind would fine themselves 20 quid. Mick B

Get real Mick - this is Mayhem and nobody here is in their right mind.
7000 people with compulsive obsessive behaviours ..............

In my mind I am now shouting THIS IS MAYHEM (the Sparta scene) and kicking a deformed hull
into the void ...................LOL 'in their right mind' certainly not me mate.

ayrshire andy · « **Reply #42 on:** February 24, 2012, 11:40:47 pm »

I was in my right mind once...but I soon got over it

Neil, there will be an additional fine for saying "bummer" online...Dave, an additional fine for shouting at this time of night...Mick, you have fined yourself already so I do n't need to. For the time being.

irishcarguy · « **Reply #43 on:** February 25, 2012, 08:03:07 am »

Thanks Andy ,you are a real sport. Mick B.

ayrshire andy · « **Reply #44 on:** February 25, 2012, 12:47:34 pm »

All part of the service Mick...

Hi guys, though I would post a quick one to say I am still here.

In the process of sorting out some legal issues with work and also working away.

I will catch up fully and up date at the weekend, just wanted to say thanks for all the support and donations so far.

Ryan

Norseman · « **Reply #47 on:** April 24, 2012, 08:36:41 pm »

Anyone have any info on this charity event?

Dave

Ryanb · « **Reply #48 on:** June 01, 2012, 07:22:45 pm »

Hello all, I'm back on the plant, I have been working away a lot and also off getting married so thought I would have a month away in Florida. Now I am back my attention is back to raising money, a very quick update, so far I have the car, accommodation and the full money so I am set to go late July early August. Sponsorship is reaching near £500 but still a little way to go, I raised £207 today so this will be added on. If any one would like more info please get and the sponsorship page is still going strong. I will be setting up a live blog page over the next month so everyone can follow the trip.
Thanks Ryan

Ah well, if you don't get as much as you need in sponsorship, the RNLI would appreciate the £507 you have already which is a perfectly good amount to donate !!
