    If you take two animals along on a sailing trip which goes wrong, then it's your responsibility to take care of those animals. After all, you're the reason they're in the predicament.

    Or is it forward planning, taking an extra potential food resource with you?

    Why would they take dogs on a 50ft yacht in the first place? Dogs being well known for needing walks, an' all.

    Well I'm just saying, I understand why they looked after the dogs.

    However, I agree with all the other observations regarding this story. None of it adds up and it was bizarre that they took two dogs with them.

    And those fuck1ng polo shirts and dumb as f*** baseball caps... spare me!

    Aren't they wearing polo shirts from the Coastguard ? Maybe they didnt have their size in stock or maybe they're a bit skinnier now for some reason....

    They've been remarkably well prepared to put so much food on the boat. It seems almost like overkill unless you were maybe looking for something to go wrong ? Maybe there's a book to come out ? Or maybe they are incredibly well organised apart from the everything breaking apart from the distress beacon that they didnt use.

    The rat I smell is the chance for some fame. If you they were truly in distress, then they would have activated the emergency beacon but "they had plenty of food"...

    2 in the laundry basket, 2 into the machine, 1 out of the machine, 0 left in the machine.

    Where do socks go?

    It only comes down after you have called the scaffolding company at least 5 times asking them to come and take it away because its been up 3 weeks longer than you needed it ! :?

    That's because they have no where to put it so they only take it down when they have somewhere else to put it up.

    I normally find one dropped just in front of the machine just after I've switched it on.

    It's stuck to the upper side of the drum after the spin cycle.
    If that is not the answer, try inside another garment and if that doesn't yield anything, blame it on the little people - the same little people who hide your keys, drink your beer and empty your wallet when you are not looking.
