SANTED

Back to the original O/P , I joined in 2008 and read the forum every day but do not post regularly and I for one feel a bit miffed about the 50 posts and you’re in rule. I only post if I have something of interest to add to the posting and I am not one of the prolific posters so until the rule is altered I remain outside the tent looking in

Nice read neil.Next best thing to being there Ted

After the 6:00 news they always say “and now for the news where you are “ How the heck do they know where I am?

I remember when the coalman was filling the bunker and I had to hang around discretely and count the bags in. Poppy said “Remember the Bond Minicar” I remember it all right, I had one 35mph top speed downhill with a good wind behind it. Brakes practically non-existent,

Its taken me six years to make 10 posts since 2008 and I look forward to being a full member in 2038

Re-speed awareness courses instead of a fine and points I believe that some insurance companies are asking for full disclosure on these and putting up the premiums accordingly. Seems you can’t win either way Ted

Personally I’ve ended in the river while paddling an open canoe with a friend who was kneeling in the front and leaned over a bit too far to give it a bit of an extra pull. The best however was my son who was out on a canal boat with his dog which was only a pup. He moored up for a day or so and the dog got used to jumping on and off the boat onto the bank and going walkies along the towpath on his own. One day my son went upstream for a few hours, turned round and came back and moored up in the same spot but facing the other way. Of course the dog decided to go walkies again, leaped off the boat as usual, straight into the canal instead of onto the towpath .The poor dog panicked and managed to paddle to the opposite bank and promptly got trapped in the mud and reeds. Son had to jump into the canal, wade across to the other side through all the filth and mud to rescue his dog and get it back onto the boat

Hi mark, just as a matter of interest I clicked on your link to have a look and my anti-virus (MacAfee) threw up a warning “dangerous site are you sure you want to continueâ€. Might be my antivirus being a bit paranoid but I didn’t go there just as a precaution

Sorry to see you go Billy boy, the forum will be a poorer place without your enthusiastic approach to the Broads. Have enjoyed your holiday tale as far as it got and also some very entertaining quiz nights all the best
