Hi,
   Some times a bit of appropriate vigilante action solves a problem.
When our kids were in primary school they had a bullying problem with a tough little kid at school who had just moved into local crisis accommodation. He had very blond hair and a stocky build apparently.
One morning riding the motorcycle to work, I spotted him on the footpath, hands in pockets and oozing attitude.
I did a u turn and pulled up just in front of him, flipped up the visor and challenged him by name.
Told him (not so subtly) that us Dads were sick of his bullying our kids and this was his first and only warning and we knew where he lived so any future incidence of bullying would result in a visit, at night by all of us, probably with baseball bats.
Flipped visor shut and drove off.
End of problem!
Cheers

Innocent members of the public can inadvertently get hurt
Isn't that the problem with these little  so & so's

There were more cops on the front lawn protecting the little vaginas house than working on the crime, btu then again it would go to court and he'd get his 2930482039483209th good behavior bond.

"After assessing this feedback, along with the boat owner's response and bearing in mind that this boat has sailed extensively at many clubs on Port Phillip for approximately a decade without apparent complaint, the board resolved at the following meeting not to take any action in relation to the name."

The letter said the club had implemented a policy to "ensure the appropriateness of boat names going forward".
It said it had identified "several" boats that might contravene the policy and that those names would be changed.



So does that mean this one person with nothing better to do than complain about nothing has managed to get these boat names changed?

50 or so years ago I used to do a lot of water skiing on the river Murray. there was a boat on the water quite often called FLICKER. So what you say, well wasn't much of a space between the L & I so read it again with less space in the required spot.

Race boat  i was observer in was called  " SLACK'rs "

One of the first sailing boats I worked on in boat building had this on the transom

Mate of mine had a fishing boat with that name. He was also Irish. Whenever he put a call out on the radio inevitably responders would be in stitches.

Most of the names in the original post are completely innocent unless the observer has a dirty mind.

So "double entendre" is now outlawed, she needs to f...k off and buy a sense of humour.
