The final plank to be fixed to a hull is commonly called the Whiskey Plank.
So named because a tot or two of Whiskey was often poured to celebrate this milestone.
Never one to shun tradition I thought I would keep up this practice by breaking the seal on
one of my Christmas Presents. Maybe invite a few friends round.
However once I got things in perspective I realised it was better to celebrate on my own.
And that reminded me of one of the very best Father Ted sketches.
Just Brilliant.
It seems the only thing in focus beforehand is the bottle
ReplyDeleteWill the boat be the choice for this year's Thames Raid? It looks beautiful and buxom, like a little apple, though fuzzier.
Even the bottle may look a tad less concise

Brilliant indeed. Are you sure the wee dram is enough, Captain? Perhaps some friends would bring their own?
