"There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."

Ah, see... I had thought it sounded familiar, but then I thought that Tigerle had meant it for a different thread and just left it there.
Confusion all around!

Sorry guys, it was a joke! A joke!
Was practically melting trying to catch up on housework because it was so hot already in the morning, wanting to play because I thought it was a fun thread, but all my brain kept resonating with was just how much rather I'd be messing about on the river in boats. So I put that. It's one of my favourites, anyway.
Hope you are having a good summer messing about wherever y'all!
