Awww thanks Des.

P.S. Have you received your white stick yet?

Cookee · 07 September 2005, 15:30

What was the 5 star accomodation like?

Jon Brooks · 07 September 2005, 15:37

During the week starting 18th Sept I will be undertaking a rare and daring challenge.

I will be attempting to leave the Southampton Boat show and making my way to the Folly on the Isle of Wight.

I will then, at closing time, make my way back to Southampton.

I know this is fool hardy but I have to attempt it!

Any of you wishing to join me please feel free.

Best regards

How much to enter?

Scary Des · 07 September 2005, 15:55

And will you be having a cocktail party at the Folly or would it be alright to stick to Ringwood best

Will this be the best event of the year and very, very exclusive

I was wearing a life jacket on Shiftynifty's photo!

I can not believe that you are all so moany....I thought that girls were supposed to bitch but you lot seem to be the masters. Quite funny though!

I have to say that last weekend was really great and I am glad that non of the moaners came because apart from the beautiful weather and fast boats, the great people were what made it a brilliant event.
See you all next year - as long as you are up for a good laugh xx (a deck hand I don't think!)

I reckon if JK pinged their computers, they'd all be traced to an address in Belgium......

Perhaps instead of claiming how expensive it was to enter you should learn the facts of what was included and what it cost to lay on the event. Unless you knows the facts then perhaps you should stop trying to insult the organizers.

Just a thought..

Hi Jon! We'll have both of the BananaSharks at the show on the Try a Boat bit, so I hope you'll come for a spin in the race boat - might even join you for a beer at the Folly as well!

Are well there’s the rub

if you look at the ribraid site you know exactly what you get and if I might say it is a hell of a lot for £30

But this rally was heralded with platitudes and hyp that told us nothing hence a lot of the comments

The Jon Brook Folly gumball rally (JBFGR for short) already offers more and only for the price of a beer.

Count me in and I could even wear a bikini if you are short of totty

Johnson · 07 September 2005, 19:54

mmmm... cup of tea, tuna in brine and a scotch egg....
(only joking) Doesn't exactly sound like my idea of fun but on the other hand, the other rally doesn't appeal to you so I can conclude that each man (and woman) to himself (and herself). Don't you agree?

And there was me wondering if i should bother going this year. See you there

Johnson · 07 September 2005, 19:58

Cookee, do you have any pics of the banana sharks?

NO I don’t agree and you’ve misses the point so I will spell it out to you.
Ribrad explained exactly what you got for your entry fee

Ed and his crew couldn’t

Is that clear now

Why is it since this rally was first brought up on the forum we have had a load of people join who seem incapable of understanding simple questions or comments.

No Jono - belgium beer hasnt gone to my head----- been out ribbing today - fantastic weather----- waves only 20 cms high- just got back -- wow there has been a lot actvity today..... just knocked back 2 duvels - now thats a beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Basically, we are going to enter the 2006 one- but it will be on OUR terms - i,e rib-net will run a parellal event. Orgainisation will be first class, I can probably squeeze some money out of Speed Ferries/Hovercraft/News Intenational..... anybody is welcom-provided they are bone-fide and have all the proper paperwork. Only Ribs will be accepted and there will be rating based on hp. Course will probably be Dover/calais/dover. Any suggestions??

THE GREAT RIB-NET TROPHY??????????????
