  1. Is it the artists impression of Le Boats new venture at Somerleyton? or am i the wrong side of the North Sea?
  2. I was neither buying or selling Transit vans although i do have a Transit for sale but i think someone in Stamford has bought it But, i do have a wooden, Three man, (sorry person) Canadian Canoe for sale which the owners who now live near Henley on Thames has asked me to put on Fleabay but was hoping that a far more learned person than myself namely Mr. Strowager might assist with some i.d and possible reserve price to ask if i can work out how to get pictures on here. By the way a most enjoyable weekend was had at the New Inn Rockland well done them
  3. Hello Jim, Mine like a few others are cut made from an offcut of Pvcu used in the window and fascia trade. Easy to cut with a hand saw and file the edges, drill etc. as you would a piece of ply. I with a few others are going to Rockland this evening if its possible i could leave you some somewhere if you're En Route (25/02/12)
  4. I own a boat that is quite capable of going to sea and we've taken her. Spent three quarters of the trip with the bow spit under water and her indoors with an unusual shade of green in her cheeks but thoroughly enjoyed it and will go again. We can also tour the whole system apart from under Potter and Wroxham which we would like to do so we obtained a rib (courtesy Quo Vadis) with outboard and when the weather permits will do so. BUT my old tub is definitely UNSUITABLE for us due to the fact there's not enough room for her shoes!
  5. Anything to do with the fact you're fifteen foot above the river level on stands?
  6. areet me ducks. Now then young Donald, as you're enquiring about Marine ply i,m assuming you need the boards to be weatherproof? Board that thin is not "ply" as such, its basically two layers of very thin laminate and sandwiched between is a composite material. I use different sheet materials every day and to be honest cant remember seeing anything thinner than 6mm in the timber merchants. I fabricate architectural mouldings to replicate sandstone on grade 2 listed buildings etc. etc. plus have done work on boats using ply,s,& blockboard and the best way to achieve water proofing them all is to coat with watered down Cascamite used by boat builders and anyone with any sense. could work out bucket fulls cheaper. Dont forget to treat all sawn edges. Got to go now and brush up on my hire boats and obscure dykes for wednesday
  7. Am i to understand that BA moorings had reserved signs on the electric posts? If so, is this allowable? perhaps i'll have a couple of dozen made up, jump in the car and attach to all our favourite moorings. I thought it was as simple as "first come first served". Unless of course they were in private marinas (sorry diesel Falcon, Marineers)
  8. It bears a striking resemblance to my boat, clock on the wall ;handles on the drawers etc. etc.
  9. Biggles my man, I have a rather fetching pair of high heels that the Mrs. no longer requires. I found they go well with cords, jeans and my jim jams, i could be persuaded to part with them, unfortunately she's stretched them to a size 12 but i pad them out with a couple of pairs of footie socks, i could let you have them at a reasonable cost if you think it'll help. but no hopping off to moor up in them and deffo no pub
  10. We're completely and utterly miffed living here! Every bloomin day same old stuff, rivers, boats, reeds, pubs, fishing, every night on the boat if we choose. It's no good i tell yer! it's murder working only 50 metres from your boat and not being able to go on it. The weather as well gets right on your nerves, always hot and sunny cor i wish i lived in a big city hundreds of miles away
  11. I live in Bradwell and my old bucket is moored at Doug Ashley Marine at St. Olaves so it would be easy for me to collect. Alas the strips we need differ i need the larger "D" section for the bathing platform so i can stern on without wrecking everyones quay heading
  12. What type of rubbing strake are you after Steve? I need approx 4 metres and could share the cost with you. I've got it in my napper you're at Goodchilds aren't you?
  13. Trevor could you please buy a 14kg mudweight cos my missus has trouble raising the 18 kg one i have and then i could swap with you
  14. Panic over Trevor, The Lowestoft Air Festival will be over the weekend next year
  15. It's ok for the pilots to work on the weekend then? Think of the overtime rates for a fighter pilot! and aviation fuel garages aren't 24 hour you know, they cant just call in at Tesco
  16. Could it be in between Somerleyton and Oulton Broad near the Dutch Tea Gardens? It actually looks like the temporary "De masting" pontoon provided by Network rail south of Somerleyton but as they're solely for waiting for the bridge i assume it isn't there
  17. Yes thats my mother and my older sister. They started the company 2 weeks ago and are doing so well they are going to take on my mrs. when she's finished with w44nty's tackle. They charge £15 a metre so it would cost the average man £1.50p
  18. Forgot to mention W44nty, she really has a nice personality and she is a stunner. Well she must be, wherever she goes people don't seem to be able to take their eyes off her
  19. Ahhh! It would have been nice to have been a sixth former as recently as the eighties.
  20. could be the best time to go though its the only time of the year when english is the most common language
