Club Arnage

Why, oh why, when providing the fundamental, bare necessities of life, do suppliers always think small rather than pitching for the big prize?  Case in point - http://www.superyachtdesign.com/concepts.asp?cid=657 (http://www.superyachtdesign.com/concepts.asp?cid=657). 

Why, with "its own fully functional go kart circuit" did they replicate a mickey mouse street circuit represented at 155m long instead of La Sarthe?  ;)

Mark, they are obviously paying you too much if your eye is wandering to that kind of thing. ;D

Hmmm... I smell "malfeasance in public office" on a grand scale!! Nice! ;)

Is it possible that the Chinese [Hong Kong?] business man who wants to buy the Ark Royal for £5m is going to turn the ship in to a floating go-kart venue, with the LM course marked out on the flight deck?

This does, of course, mean that missing a corner could be a very wet - if not fatal - experience.

Still, plenty of room down below for partying & then rooms to rent for when you've reached the point of "over refreshment".

All we would need is a river big enough to sail it up around early June, with a tributary dug which terminates in Maison Blanche.  Wouldn't have any CA ticket issues then! 

I'm not quite sure what malfeasance smells like or how I can get some, but it is such a nicely descriptive word... ;)

MG Mark

Not sure.  But I reckon I've stepped in it more than once or twice  ::)

You'll have to go to the States, I think we only have misfeasance in this country

Wasn't MisFeasance one of the Artists in the Red Trailers, (sadly no longer available :().

From Wiki

...malfeasance (or misfeasance) in public office is a tort. In the House of Lords judgement on the BCCI Malfeasance Case it was held that this had 3 essential elements[3]:

The defendant must be a public officer
The defendant must have been exercising his power as a public officer
The defendant is either exercising targeted malice or exceeding his powers.

The commission of turning an aircraft carrier into a floating LM race track replica could, one would suppose, be seen as malfeasance in office by any reasonable man. However I'm sure a clever barrister could get you off the rap.

On the basis that I might conceivably fit the description of a public officer, I do rather like the sound of an opportunity to "exercise targeted malice" and "exceeding his powers"... >:D

Malfeasance?
I thought it came in a tube. If it doesn't, what have I been buying every fortnight from the chemist?
H

Isn't Malfeasance just an old Bird that you'd probably have a stab at given the opportunity ;D.

Probably some snake oil variant of unguent to sooth your dodgy bits....slippery chaps those chemists....

MG Mark

Another thread of irreverance or is that irrelevance filled with wit and humour from my good friends at CA.Nice one  ;D

Even at such a vaunted rank I would remind you that you are still liable for a spot of jankers.

I don't know, but I once bought a tube of ointment from a back street chemists shop in Kuala Lumpur. I think it was to soothe annoying mosquito bites after a week in the jungle. On reading the instructions it claimed to be efficacious against bites, stings, rashes and cancer. As I get older I bitterly regret not buying two tubes.

Only bit dint of a full blown General Courts Martial old chap!!  And what's wrong with a bit of despotic autocracy?  Seemd to work for Jack Nicholson v Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men.  Or was that the other way round?

   

Phil - I am surprised that you appear confused by your perception of a connection with irreverance (or irrelevance) about a topic that has ranged quite logically from the acquisition of an immensely expensive toy, through making it fit for purpose for Le Mans, defrauding the public to achieve it, to the naturally related topic of Big H's backside.  I tell you one thing, I'm not stepping in that malfeasance it if it doesn't come with a fully equipped pharmacy as part of the price.  I mean, what's the point of all the bother and hassle if your guests have to go on a trek to find a "Green Cross" shop in Arnage to get backside cream?

That's easy enough for you to say Mark, sitting there with no nappy on, but I like at least some idea of the provenance of these things.

Anyway, malfeasance or no malfeasance, it seems to me that you're doomed to become a sailor soon, now that all of your planes have been scrapped. It's only a matter of time before we see you dancing a jig and handing out weevil biscuits.

H

My dear chap, but we will still have the Red Arrows and BBMF.......now if we put a bit of bungee cord on the deck of the carriers to be scrapped to save the Navy and embark the remaining elements of the Army in the form of the Royal Horse Artillery, we could have a cracking Royal Review off Spithead (albeit one that probably wouldn't last for very long) before setting off on a jolly good flag waving tour of the world.  .........

Now dancing a jig and weevil biscuits seems familiar, but probably more so in some corner of a foreign field that is forever England every June....
