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.
