    Can you take a laptop on a boat?

    I was just wondering, for something to do off-watch, can you take a laptop on a boat?

    Yes you can.
    Anyone who wants to participate in Big Brother, or actually dedicates time to watching it, should automatically be deprived of the right to vote. Nobody that stupid should have a say in how the country's run. The same goes for X-factor.

    No point until you qualify, you won't have any time. If you aren't sleeping when off watch you'll be tracing systems.

    You could always take a trumpet and teach yourself
    Give a man a fish and he'll feed his family for a day,
    teach a man to fish and he'll sit round on a boat all day drinking beer.

    Yes. But you can't make it drink.

    Been done - lad on my boat learned to play the saxophone - lots of lonely hours on 3 deck.

    Submariners seldom cheat, and NEVER lie!

    Why is it acceptable to cry at a wedding but not to laugh at a funeral?

    What was more mindless the question or your 'response'?..................Prat. The Internet is such a great wall for chimps to hide behind.

    Be careful when your charging it aboard; shipboard electricity can flutuate in amperage. A spike protector would help. You might be better off with old fashioned books.
