  1. "breakfast mcmuffin" indeed! You two do know how to live don't you? :naughty: Are you going up to Coltishall today?
  2. Howard said "which is the Capital of Ale - Norwich or York" Norwich has four breweries: The Norwich Bear Company Fat Cat Brewery Winter's Brewery Craft (Redwell) Brewing York has three: Marston Moor Bewery Ossett Brewery York Brewery & Visitor Centre
  3. It's a beautiful starry morning here on The Broads!
  4. Well said, Alan. We've had some great nights in there with Bill and Ros. The "Rammer's" 50th was one of the best does we've ever attended and Bill and Ros really pushed the boat out on their behalf. RIP indeed, old guy.
  5. "Donk" is old Air Force slang for engine, Lori! :shocked
  6. Welcome aboard from us, Neil! ☺
  7. Wot abart the donk, then, Gal??? :naughty:
  8. National Snaffle Bit Association, eh, Peter?
  9. Golly Gosh, Lori! I think it will be a bit more than just an engineer looking at it! :shocked
  10. Wow, Lori, that must have been close. I don't know if they still do but BB used to wire a "stop-relay" into their boats' engine for such warnings! We dis-connected ours on Friday Girl for just the time when it happened where yours did... Gt Yarmouth with a running tide. Congratulations on keeping a cool head!
  11. Shepster, Hi, and Welcome Aboard the NBN from us!
  12. Brill pic of the Forum Burgee, Lori! I'm amazed to see so many boats moored up at Ludham Bridge!
  13. And Welcome Aboard from us, Andy!
  14. Jim, Hi. I endorse what Andy has just said and surely The Dog would be an easier option? At least there's a footpath all the way there.
  15. I think that might be a bit harsh, Simon. I'm sure lots of smaller yards would love to run their own advertising but surely the time and costs involved are prohibitive?
  16. And you sometimes see cruisers with round the boat fendering (as our black fendering is) which is inset with bin-iron! I feel so sorry for the newer boats (Brooms are an example) 'cos a side to side contact would produce a very nasty scratch at best...
  17. Hi, Gymnopedies, not seen you for a while. How long do you usually go offshore at a time for and are you a fan of Erik Satie?
  18. We all had to start somewhere.............
  19. You were at Ludham (or Womack) Staithe, Mandy. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Ludham,+Great+Yarmouth,+Norfolk+NR29/@52.7074345,1.5355575,427m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x47d75599c49fa6a9:0x38c8e13c9b2a76c8 Poor you with the loos... did you get any redress from them?
  20. Lovely last two pics, Martin. We have a large window at both ends of our lounge and a Blackbird flew into one recently, killing itself. Mary-Jane told me that as it could see all the way through it presumed it could fly through......... we now keep our blinds down at one end or the other (open, but it's enough for them to see).
