  1. Oh Quo Retardis one wouldn't be extracting something there would one? You must be fair to Jiffy he's knocking on 70 and i thought he did rather well under the circumstances. Anyhoo its nothing a new Rubbing Strake,paint job and a couple of skips wont put right! He trained under the best you know, Horatio something or other. He's often said he cant get on with these new fangled type boats, you know the ones with engines? You know he's got 20/20 vision dont you? 20% looks one way and 20% looks the other. Where would we all be without him, Brilliant tea maker he'd give you anything, and nothing is too much trouble for him. I wont hear a word against the useless old twonk. I thought he handled his boat very well today, he just forgot mine was tied along side. He'll cop one to the fizzogg like Trevor when i sea them.
  2. You tell him Quo!!! Anyhoo Weasle Fallout erm, could i borrow it after you've finished with it? You know, Stones, Glass houses etc. I wouldn't mind a small wager that Blownaway is back out of the marina before Le Gand Chew! I have a cunning plan. I'm going to leg it up to Lincolnshire and hunt you down like a dog; boy, then don't be surprised if you cop an unfortunate one to your shell like listener! Oh just remembered the last time i drove to Stamford i put my arm out to turn right and some bugger had my watch away, so needing to know the time i pulled over to ask this 'erbet standing there and no more to do he pulled a knife on me. He must have been local it still had butter on it. I'm digressing, my plan is to sit on my bedroom floor legs crossed,with my eyes squeezed tightly shut and my fingers crossed and the marina pixies will work through the night! They do exist you know,They DO!!!!! you see.(or should that be Sea) not sure
  3. Aye up Denzel Fallout would that be Monday, Tuesday, Saturday or sunday? You say you have one in the van? Your boss must be a very understanding person to allow you to spray oil all over his wheel arches and have the van seize up half way to St Olerves Why not just buy another?
  4. Hello your most Admiralship, yes she does still like the idea of boating, says it gets her adrenalin running, i find one of her curries does it for me. Anyhoo if she packed up going i'd go it alone.Hockham! hockham all is what i say!
  5. Trevor, I forgot to tell you, as we were trudging ,bags in hand, back to the marina Quo Tardis told me a story it seemed a bit hard to take in. Apparently all the 136 forum members from the dark side died and went to heaven.As they arrived at the pearly gates St. Peter descended the cloudy steps to welcome them but stood there shaking his head and said "Sorry but i can only take 7 of you for now. I will be back in an hour and if you've sorted out who is staying i' ll help" He duly arrived back in the hour looked from side to side up and down then again side to side, paused then stared into space and said "God they've gone!" the reply came "All of them?" "NO" he replied "THE BLOODY GATES" Do you think he's pulling my leg?
  6. Hello Diesel Fallout, are you Trevor of Le Gand Chew. I couldn't hoy the soddin mudlump out because i sold it to buy electrickery cards to keep your tub from freezing up over the winter as it happens you still have 20 units, either that or some other boat is toastie warm
  7. Hello all. Just a little tickler for you. How does 10 knots sideways, strong winds, anchor not attached to chain, a pannicking missus AND no engine drive sound? St. Olaves bridge racing toward you. I thought F*?*!*g hell. Canopy down, (on top of the mrs.) "MY HAIR" she said as the bow spit took a few bricks from the bridge, then another almighty bang as we ploughed into something else, cupboards opened, glasses smashed, cups and everything all over the place. Didnt have any time to roll a ciggy. Why does it always go down the middle? couldn't do a bloody thing. Funny how things go through your mind, "i'd only taken enough clean underwear for one night and these ones are already full" Any hoo got my money s worth out of the rubbing strake i can tell you. After another large item spun us round i bit the bullet and jumped ashore, on reflection i wish i'd had a rope in my hand. No seriously hung on to the rope for dear life (i mean wife) pulled like Jenny Capes(Jeff Capes grand daughter) Well we're not all built like brick dumpdocks! Then out of the blue a shining light, like a flash appeared the Lighthouse Keeper, Bob stood and watched taking a puff of his nosegay and said you're in a pickle aren't you? He must have intel inside there's nothing gets passed him! Then after a slight altercation with the very pleasant young lady whom insisted it was private mooring we battened down the hatches and have left it for the night. pile of cr?p. A big up for Bob for his help and for Jiffy on whom its fallen to recover said aforementioned tomorrow with the grand ship Laura Jane. It's a wonder there were no tryping errors i'm still shaking like a paedophile in a school playground.
  8. What do you "tink" Que V does the wording warrant a removal?
  9. Aye up our Trevor, whats happening on the happening front with the photies? We all know you took loads, as its quite likely we are all starring in said aforementioned we'd all like to be as vain as could be and see them.
  10. Is that why they call you Clever Trevor. "Spring Onions" did Sue come up with that one?
  11. Trevor, If you find any more screw them around the edge of your pontoon, it would help you go astern easier and there might not be as much gel coat all over the place! Oh that Que Vadis knows his onions doesn't he?
  12. I was actually referring to the third picture posted by Diesel Fallout. Do you think his ancesters used to compare muskrats for a living?
  13. Trevor Who was the tramp in the marina?
  14. It was lovely seeing Adam skipping along the pontoon this morning singing "supercallyfragilisic" etc etc he must have thoroughly enjoyed his dvd last night. Anyhoo it looks like the Coldham Hall clan can now rest easy as the master is there with the tickets, but perhaps it wont be looked upon as a " pipe and slippers " any more because the mighty NERAIDA forged a passage through with the help of the WHOOMPERS from Quo Vadis,Blownaway,Laura Jane and NOT LE Grand Chew.!!!! Mark now being the foremost authority on Whoomping was there to watch and learn and also jumped ship before crossing said palms with silver. Hope all manages to get to their destinations this nye and makes the most of it. Are we right in assuming reedham bridge will open new years day?
  15. The ice in St. Olaves marina is also still 2 to 3 inches thick but seems a lot softer and easier to break now. We were thinking of tying an old wreck to the bow of one of our little flotilla heading for Surlingham ferry NYE. Luckily it looks like someone has abandoned a tub called Le Grand Cru, we'll use that.
  16. Diesel Falcon; Whoomping (please note double O) is similar to tapping, you know the constant noise from your engine bay! but whoomping is more severe as in hitting the ice with a bloody great big iron bar as Quo Vadis rightly pointed out you were so doing during your visit yesterday whilst other forum members looked on. Its a shame that after 10 minutes of harsh whoomping you managed only to break approximately one cup full. As for your Curling (please note C not K) the idea of filling your kettle was a good one but you'd have to phone Sue and ask her what it looked like.
  17. one would have thought if one had a lighthouse one could have seen if the office was open. Is it the case with your lighthouse that all the poor mariners who flounder get the reply " Oh i thought the light was on"
  18. Hello Lighthouse Keeper i see you're Cummins powered, were there no alternatives at the time? It's at this point i'd like some advice from you if at all possible. I have a bit of a predicament and your knowledge of all things marine would no doubt extend far beyond the reaches of some mere mortals. My problem is that i've been experiencing a few problems with my old ship just lately but have been fortunate enough to have been left a sum of money and was wondering should i buy a new Sealine or put the rest to it and buy a reconditioned outboard for my Shetland. I would value your comments greatly,
