I am not sure if this has been seen on the forum before, but I quite liked it.

She was a tough one, they dont make them like that anymore :)
So from now on H.I.D. can get the engine out of the car whilst I am launching the boat. :D

Caption competition material, definitely.

I hadn't seen that one, but I have a couple of others featuring the same young lady. One of them states that the motor is so easy to use even women can start it. Outrageous claim, of course.

Is that dark mark on her skirt, where the fuel leaked out out of the tank breather when she struggled to pick it up?

The happy expression on her face would seem to indicate that she hasn't been called a daft c*w for dropping it yet, & she hasn't ruined a perfectly good stocking on the transom bracket.

Definately an aussie Shiela on hols.

Talking of which picked up a wheelchair for bike splattered friend (yep, she dropped the Buell!)

Not sure how she is going to accept my love of antiques.

Must get back into my seagulls and sanity.

Aussie Gent.... now that's an oxymoron. She probably outdrank the boaties, furled the sails, ferried them to shore, cooked the dinner then relaxed with a bottle or two of Bundy, and then was back at work at 6am. Tough critters, the aussie shiela... Love them.

This young lady was humping engines round at a very early age...

...I think she grew up to be an East German shot putter.

This one is conclusive proof they're faked. Here we are supposed to believe she is actually starting it
and what's more she is smiling.

Sorry to disapoint gentlemen, she can't be a Sheila, no tattoos & doesn't have a southern hemisphere derriere, way too small!

Has to be a Pom in her early 20's, expensive shoes & that left ankle looks like it's starting to fill out, & excellent bone structure.

Last time I heard you talking about a young lady's appoearance Charles was the two barmaids in the Yachtsman pub.

Can't remember it being the shoes, bone structure and ankles that attracted your attention...

Please note the following was typed in the 30's BBC accent of Mr Cholmondley-Warner:

Here we see Ms Hyacinth Luxury-yacht ( pronounced Throatwobbler-mangrove obviously ) retreiving her motor from the dickey of her 7 litre Launderette convertible ready for the 1936 Round the (Canvey) island race. Well done Ms Yacht, we salute you, and thats one young filley that is certain to be back in time for the Pimms and cucumber sandwiches.

sorry about that everyone ...

dreadfully sorry ....really, it won't happen again

We try so hard to keep him in his Lay-Zee Boy recliner, all snugged up with his favourite cuddly-rug, happily day-dreaming of halcyon salad days

But Waggles has obviously got back to drinking the bath-water again..

I mean, a lady of such obvious breeding would never hail from Issix, innit ?

Where is my beer wench, bugger the O/B!

Look at all that sand in the Dickey by Crickey!

I suppose you remembered to put the boat on the trailer properly this time?
