Ah but Brian, my method is far more humane! Iain.

Well ladies and gentlemen, if nothing else its keeping our cold typing fingers warm this debate. I am sorry about Marks bahoochie, rub some wintogreen on it Mark, that will get the blood flowing To Strowy and JM, who needs the Australian Tennis when I can watch you gentlemen exchange reposts. MM you are different class, you should be on the stage. Polly, your right about F1, but its all very interesting for someone like myself who is over 400 miles away. Do carry on please. who needs a Government when we have such fine scribes here! Iain.

Hi Mark, My advice is simple, get a professional in to do it, and do a paper round to cover the extra costs! Seriously though, IF tiles cuts round pipes are required, then without the proper machinery, it can be a bit of a bugga to do. Iain.

Never nice to see a craft in that position. I hope they are well insured. Iain.

Dinny worry Bonzo, it can vanish as fast as it reappeared! Iain.

Hi Alan, It does exactly what it says on the tin, its for cheating at making a "roast dinner" I believe. There Bonzo, back on thread, simples. Iain.

Please folks do use PMs on this matter, thank you. Iain.

Well I do hope it paid the toll! Iain.

From Ice Cream Boat to buckets in FIVE posts! Amazing! Would that qualify as a SCOOP for the EDP? Iain

Iain.

I may be retired Alan, but the tradesmans eye, is still on the go! Iain.

Hi Alan, Well a few more items ticked off the list. I see you have the blue protective covering for the sink plug, I hope it comes off easily Nice to read you are having your "own" boat show on site today It saves folks going into London! Onwards and upwards as they say! The upwards being, moving Orca to Norfolk ASAP! Iain.

Hi JM, For me its late June, early July driving down through the night and catching the rising sun as you drive between Kings Lynn and Norwich. I have seen some amazing sunrises over the years on that road, also the A17. I had some really good ones of OB sunsets, but sadly I lost the CD they were on grrrrr! Iain

I have only ever seen double mooring at GY Yacht Station in the 70's and 80's. Don't recall ever seeing five abreast! Iain

Hi Bonzo, Your theory could work, but as they hibernate for 10 months of the year, and only appear in January and late November so maybe too much expense moving breeding pairs. Perhaps however, the RSPB may have other ideas? Iain.

Bang goes your 25% discount MM on your next BSS Iain.

Awe MM did you really have to type that? Iain.

Hi Bonzo, They only have three legs, this ensures they cannot fly, one leg is shorter than the rest so they can walk on hillsides. To catch these rare elusive creatures, one must go out at midnight, full moon preferably, trousers rolled up and wellies on to keep the noise level down. Then you must very softly whistle the tune, "Oh whistle and I will come tae you my lad" and if they like the cut of your jib, they will respond by running towards you, a quick clout over its head, and the deed is done. With regards to inducting them into Norfolk, they only breed on mountains and hillsides in Gods Country, or occasionally Wetherspoons! So regretably your idea cannot be put into practice, as they would have great difficulty walking on the flat Norfolk earth! Do enjoy your trip to Wetherspoons, I suspect we may do something similar, if only to give SWMBO a night off from the kitchen patrol!

Scottish Ayrshire Burns version. Go to Supermarket or Butchers, purchase freshly caught Haggis, Take home to SWMBO. Sit and watch TV while she cooks the Haggis in a microwave pyrex bowl (saves the steam she says) Continue to watch TV footie. Slice Turnip better known as tumshie in Ayrshire and boil for mashing get SWMBO to mash adding a knob of salted butter and seasoning. Continue to watch TV.... Boil up Maris Piper tatties till ready for mashing. Add dash of cream and butter and champit them till ready for serving. Put all three items oan the plate, with a guid dram of Malt Whisky (Glenmorangie is ideal) Enjoy!

Jeff, I have driven into it twice in my life of over 40 years driving, not a pleasent experience, its always going to be referred as that type of ice. Unless of course we paint our roads a different colour! Then it can be Tartan Ice Iain.

Black Ice is nasty. You can always rebuild a car, so very glad your daughter avoided damage, and is ok

Hi Alan, Whats this poppycock about the sink being a tad small? You can only rinse ONE Pint glass at a time! Grace is right, very swish its becoming now. Iain.

PMSL Jon !!! Iain.

Oh plzzzzzzzzzz No! No! No! I feel ill at the thought of those bureaucrats getting involved in anything, apart from making Chocolate in Brussels! Iain.

Plenty of space up in the Isle of Skye Steve, I know of two cottages for sale there! Iain.
