Yes John, so true, my father quoted Burns often also. What Burns crammed into a very short life, was quite amazing. When you consider one of his poems is sang throughout the world, all the year round, but especially on Hogmanay.

Co-codamol to me Grace are sweeties lol I went through 300 of them when I had a very bad attack of shingles, totaly useless. But they work well I know for many folks.

I was staggered one day on Flog It... just the reel went for silly money! Meant nothing to me, but it sure meant something the two who bid for it!
Iain

Hi Ray,
It is indeed, my only surprise is, its taken this long! Perhaps held up by red tape and chewing gum and the like!
Now I didn't check this year, but it would be good if they repaired their mooring frontage also.

Hi Ian,
Yes it is the Bard indeed, I found the pic by accident today.Just thought I would use for a short time.
I saw his statue every working day till I left working in Ayr. His statue is in appropriately Burns Statue Square.

Local bands use to practice there Keith, many an interesting nights listening to pop rock and OMG music. It was part of the KH just more modern if you could call it that in the early 70's. My first ever pint in Norfolk I had there, sitting looking out the window at the resplendent craft stern moored across at Porter & Haylets, trying to work out which one was Sun Glory, that we had hired. lol

Hi John,
Yep, broke my rules for the day, had a very nice bottle of Merlot with my best man, (nothing changes there ) When we returned home a couple of very nice Glenmorangies were partaken.

I was lucky Charlie, an SFA physio did a course of manipulation on my side, or I would never have played cricket or golf again. BTW I was in more pain after he had done his thing....then it calmed down. Clever bloke he was.

Just replying to Marshys thoughts Keith, as a hirer. I suspect if we saw the logs long before web cams and instant photography, this happened ALL over the Broads. Today its highlighted instantly thanks to the modern media available.
Iain.
Can you really see the BA funding it John? Also it looks to me as a police state project. People after all are on HOLIDAY! If it came to Marshys idea, the Broads as a holiday place would be know more. May suit all the privateers though?

To numb the pain when my sciatic nerve snapped my GP gave me DF 118 tabs, which I believe are pure codiene. It works for a wee while. I did all the excercises Poggy mentions. Took me nine/ten weeks to be back to some normal movement again.
I found resting on the floor helped also, but a bit of a bugger getting back up!
Wishing you a speedy recovery Tim.

Jean,
Put Coltishall on your list for the next trip, its a very pleasent cruise above the bridge to Coltishall. and Belaugh. Good for Kingfisher spotting. Just wait as near to the bridge as you can, unless of course the Pilot spot is vacant.
