That's quite the ride. It looks too futuristic to be real.
Nope, that's not my sweetie. You can tell because she isn't reading a book or writing a paper.

You can ride those things in the Bahamas (where I'm going at the end of the month )

http://www.sub-bahamas.com/pages/what-are-subs.html

To a qualified scuba diver they look very risky..! You need NO experience to ride one of those things..!

This is what we're going for...

Happy Birthday, Jackman
Good on ya, Randolph
Welcome to Soggy, a legend in the banter world and, I hope, a great source of fine UK slang. What is a melvin anyway?
JB & Gavin, that underwater thing reminds me of when either Hammacher Schlemmer or Neiman Marcus tried to sell an ultralight mailorder. What the heck, just hop in and go.

Where is it I would love to check it out when I am back there later this year. My aunt and uncle have traced back our family line back to England and other parts of Europe for the name "Winslow". I am trying to get some of her information so I can check out some of the areas that my ancestors lived in. Kinda fun to see where you have been and came from.

But I am going to hold you to that offer, I will get you to a MOT one of these years.

I've been led to believe a melvin is Brit slang for a 5 pound note.

This is getting surreal...
According to this 60's slang site I found, melvin is slang for a wedgie..!
http://cougartown.com/slang.html
I don't recall hearing a fiver called a melvin when I lived there...

Well, gee, now I have my choice. If I wish someone a melvin, I am either hoping to increase their wealth or their discomfort. Hey, JB, may you have a couple of nice crisp melvins today. Happy Easter!
