You have to wonder what Michael Gove was on.

Isn't he the MP for Surrey Heath? Hardly a bastion of ship building.

I first heard of Gove when he used to appear on the Moral Maze on R4 years ago.
I thought he was a total nutjob then and he doesn't seem to have improved.

Let's not be too hasty in dismissing this. I know where we can get some very cheap boat bits at the moment. The navigation system isn’t very good but I am sure we could pick up something cheap from Halfords.

Are they leaky?
If so, you might be onto something there.

Very leaky but she'll not notice till it is too late.

Fine.
Put me down for a tenner and a very sharp knitting needle.

Mind you, we'd have to make sure the Duke of Ed isn't present, he's that dessicated, he'd just soak up the ocean as the boat sank.

So, here's the plan.
We send out invitations for a regal party on board the HMS Halfords.
Guest list to include all royals (regardless of how minor, but not the aforementioned regal biltong ), all heridary peers and their male offspring, the PM, the Chancellor, Michael Gove, that bloke at HMRC who let Vodafone off the hook (off the hook ... good eh?), the Murdochs, Richard Desmond and Ant and Dec.

Any more ?
