BBC video here.
You, mate, had a very lucky escape. But your boat isn’t worth your life.
Yes, but is he twee?
What?
If he’s stupid enough to do that, maybe the boat is worth at least as much as his life.
I assume he means this; but it’s still obtuse.
I know what twee means. I don’t understand why FinnAgain was asking whether the skipper was.
Maybe it has some complex, greater meaning (playing on the word “prat”), and we’re arguing in the shadow of some higher intellect.
I was a reference to an old thread here where a poster pitted SkipMagic (I think that was his name) for being twee.
“Twee” was, for a brief period, a SDMB in-joke a year or two back.

No quarter asked, no quarter given.
What makes him even dumber - no lifejacket.
No excuses, he shouldn’t be alive.
Once. In 1960.
Can we pitt the woman on the video who keeps saying “Oh my god”???
Jesus, come up with a new phrase for “I can’t believe this is happening”, like…uh…uh…I can’t believe this is happening.
For 20 minutes.
For 20 minutes.

Twee is used jokingly elsewhere also.
Yacht? That was no yacht, that was a scow.
And it shouldn’t be hauling garbage, but hauled away as garbage!
