RIBS and Piles

[timw]

A " friend" of mine has recently experienced a nasty attack of haemerroids.

I'm trying to persuade him to come out on the RIB with me and that if we let the tubes down a bit, they might provide a comfortable cushion for his problem.

He isn't convinced and thinks standing up may be safer, but I'm worried he may bump a sensitive part against something hard.

Would it be OK to go out with deflated tubes for him to sit on, perhaps there is a maximum speed limit whilst in a "Pile Protection Configuration"?

Is this a joke! I know your "friend" would be more comfortable in a Scorpion...

[Genie]

Yes, Just make sure you don't bottom out and he should be fine!
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Cue other puerile remarks methinks...Oh the cheek of it eh?

Perhaps a good dose of bromine will get rid of the hard spots.
Perhaps a treatment of a combination of Preparation H and Vasilene would help before the trip.

[ian parkes]

don't let him sit too near the stern , getting piles wrapped round the prop could be nasty

[timw]

keep 'em coming!!!

I would want anyone with Piles on my RIB......All that blood and screaming

Theres a legendary story about an incident at a boat show where a rib builder was setting off on a demo run. and his wife was running down the Pontoon waving his Pile cushion in the air hollering out ***** you've forgotten this.

However a more serious reply is that I'd avoiding the sedentary option if possible and have him standing, but that's got to be done safely. Do you have any standing room behind your rear seats, or could you slide a seat forward to enable this?

I can't believe that anyone here is suggesting that someone with a medical condition should even contemplate looking at a RIB without seeking advice from their GP.

Really! How am I supposed to issue your traffic warden badges if you behave in this rash way?

It's hardly a medical condition it's just a pain in the arse.

Whilst on that subject how is your good self and when can the FGT come out of exile

Whilst researching this topic I came across a new term - it's called a Brown Bottom - look it up - I can't go into any more detail or JK will get upset again - I WAS trying to stay on topic - honest guv!!!

Some thing to do with Guy Fawkes

Install a commode instead of a jockey seat...

About as easily as sitting on a semi-inflated tube I should think!

I was under the impression we were talking about a passenger. But if he's the driver could you not slide the seat, there on tracks on your boat aren't they, you could mebbe get a leaning post fitted

Never the less, I apologise for my earlier discretion
