Ha! well we know you're a gentleman John. A hook made out of a sea scorpium , that would be a sight to see!

Jim, not a hook made out of a sea scorpium , a hook for catching a sea SCOPIUM, they are as big as a ships sailing cloth, they have a frogs head and they are all gold.
Tony Beeching has such fishing tackle. John |
Yes i have all the relative equipment to go scopium fishing but i have no boat.
Ladies and gentlemen i am about to build a boat, i have 1000's of rivets to put in and i am going to have to work real hard to finish it for the Spring of the year. This boat will have two forward speeds, hatchways and gangways. It will weigh about 9 tonnes and will be semi-submarine fashion. Looking for crew - Steve Gunn and John White have already offered their services. Gentlemen traction engine owner and sea scopium enthusiast |
Flippers at the ready boys! When do we start?? :p

Hello gents,
Obviously extreme caution has to be exercised whilst Sea Scopium fishing, If you were to see one under the water while the sun was shining bright you would see his eyes stick out a bit bulge fashion,if you try to winch him up to see if he is any good you may be frightened and decide not to disturb that lot in case he drags you under the water. Anyway, we now have a plan for our semi- submarine vessel, we have experienced plate flangers and riveters,Mr Green can provide his blacksmithing expertise. Ideally it should be steam powered but as we have to be ready by the spring of the year maybe a Lister CS6/1 would do as a substitute, anybody got one? Johnny |
I think eveyone should drink a bottle of wine before they come on here !
There was a class of steam submarines in the First World War or just before. They had too many holes in them! |
I've got a set of castings in stock for a Stuart 6a compound marine engine, ( I really have ), perhaps I could get it all made before the Scopium hunters boat is ready ?
Then we'll need a propellor................... |
Oh yes, that engines alright,
|
yea engines all right yea engines all right
|
Of course the engine was alright, he was referring to a BB1.
By the way CS6/1 denotes - 'C' Scopium 6 feet 1 fathom :confused: |
