Live From Fazeley Mill Marina. Jeff is just about to take the presenter out on Telemachus. The presenter has already mispronounced the name and made a thing of the "false rivets". Huh!

You've false rivets on your boat?
Did you spec them?
I mean really, they are the absolutely height of bad taste, whats a man of your standing doing pretending to have an old knacker held together with rivets?

Anyway, Jeff has explained that it's pronounced Telemachus, not Telemachus. So that's him sorted.

Had you been wearing a boatmans costume I might have taken more notice, you'll have to rummage around an IWA jumble sale and get some new threads - that will complete the style and look you are going for.

Nope, it's all about the look and style of the boat, not the owners. It's not like having a dog, where the owners and dog grow to look alike!

I missed the rivets, had I spotted them i'd have took the piss more often I would have thought going through the W Midlands, B/Ham etc, it would be more appropriate to have some fake bullet holes like these As opposed to fake rivets.

What you have to realise is that if everybody calls your boat TellyMackus, then it's called TellyMackus. It doesn't matter what some 3,000 year old Greeks might call it, because Birmingham isn't ancient Greece.

We've got a Rottweiler, had him since he was a puppy, he's 9 now. I've not got jowls and can drink a pint without drooling everywhere. There must be hope for me - either that or I'm fast running out of time.
