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. 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?  MG Mark |

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

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 |

You'll have to go to the States, I think we only have misfeasance in this country 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"...  MG Mark |

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