Isn't a dinghy a kind of boat?

Yup, a smoll one.

So all dinghies are boats but not all boats are dinghies? Therefore if it is indeed a dinghy, the description of it as a boat is suitable unless you feel like being particularly pedantically pedantic?

Every time I hear Deacon Blue's song Dignity it annoys me.

They sing about a bloke that children call Bogie who saved his money and buys a dinghy and calls it Dignity then later in the ditty they have the brass neck to claim it's actually a ship called Dignity.

I'm sorry Mr R Ross but that's total bum wash. There's no way a dinghy can be called a ship.

This has honestly pissed me off since 1987.

Definition: 

You can put a boat on a ship but you can’t put a ship on a boat.

Exception: Submarines are boats even when they are 20 000 Tonnes.

Exactly. My dad was in the Merchant Navy all his life and his pet hate was ships getting called boats.

No.  Yachts will typically have cabins and a keel rather than a daggerboard.

Finished assembling and arranging my new sofa and armchair

My aunts W205 has a issue where the door seal doesn't really hold onto the door anymore, leading to this 

Now sure, one can fix this through the official routes or glue it, but bodging is always fun!

Using a bit of wood off a scrap plank thing from a bed, I fed it into the seal (it's hollow in the middle)

Fed this into the part of the seal where it's still attached to the car

And temp sealed it with clear tape, as its all i had to hand. Hopefully I'll be able to do something slightly more substantial with it in the future.

Now the door doesn't have a bit of rubber sticking out randomly, and all is well!

Until it falls off, I guess 😂

I finally did something today that I have been wanting to do for years, I released a Minidisc from it's little plastic prison and and attached it to a lanyard so I can wear it The MD I sacrificed has a crack in it so I don't feel too bad about destroying it.

I've probably posted this before, but I was discussing it the other day with my mate, the author, and had to find it again.
