Or just recently...
BBC News - Commentator Edward Bevan hit by cricket ball at Taunton
edit: Sorry, not really a double entendre, but while we're talking cricket.
Puts me in mind of the 'Villandry' and 'Valencay' - the two rust buckets that did the Newhaven to Dieppe crossing years back. No stabilisers and stank of vomit.
In those Radio Caroline days, I can remember sending off for a 'Johnnie Walker Kiss-in-the-car Licence'. Still got it around somewhere.
Only problem was I was too young to have a girlfriend and way too young to have a car. Got to start somewhere.
