  1. Yes it is. He sold it to the guy who owned the Wayford Bridge boatyard (John?) I recall we were in the reeds waiting to start the 3RR when they realised that there was no cutlery aboard ( not having been part of the sale) . Doug was skippering his old boat nonetheless and I passed him a Tesco bag with spare cutlery on the end of a boat hook. 😋 Doug’s boats are kept well but woodies deteriorate at scary speeds if not maintained. I guess it’s a good 10 years since he sold it. Good luck with the restoration.😊 Are you at Whelptons?
  2. Ok for my sins I am QM so here are the topics: CATS DOGS HARRY POTTER MONEY DISTANT SHORES ODDS AND ENDS
  3. Condolences to the family. Rest in peace Ian.
  4. If she is anything like Purdey she will be a wonderful dog.
  5. My brother tested his Jet x like that and sprayed the wall with fuel. Nothing sealed those stains in for years and Dad was not an amateur house painter and decorator. And oddly it was only mum who complained I guess Dad was ‘assistant’ to the deed. 🤣
  6. In the scheme of things, a tracheotomy is no big deal. He will not however be able to speak until they give him a speaking version when he can close the tube and divert air to his vocal cords. it doesn’t hurt
  7. I was on life support back in the day Griff. Tell them to speak loud and clearly to him. Read him a book he’d enjoy to stimulate his brain..nothing too dramatic just a feel good text. Love to Laureen and the rest of them.
  8. Farewell Clive. I am so pleased you got to helm BA as you really wanted to but never asked . Rest in Peace.
  9. Our friendship with Mike started on ‘the other side’ too and carried on over the years. There were adventures, like the time Rondonay’s outboard caught fire. Mike was just up river and available for help. Then there was Chameleon’s trick bunk that landed me in the bilges-mercifully clean! We all shared responsibility for several Forum meets, he was 100% reliable, generous and very very clever-brain like a planet! The quizzers all know about the brain… After Phill died, Mike rang several times a week while waiting for Pat to do her retail therapy. The support from him and Timbo and Pat herself has helped me through. Meeting Pat was one of the best things that could have happened and she was heroic in her support for him these last weeks. His funeral was planned by himself and Pat together and was a quiet and fitting farewell Rest in peace Mike.
  10. Argh I am QM next Friday🤣 Topics: The Seaside Famous Battles Henry Stuff that got dug up Fictional Schools General Ignorance
  11. Pat loves her NBN flowers 🌺 Dress code for Monday is not black, she wants a celebration of Mike’s life. Mike was very keen on his Tilly Hat. Maybe we could have our sailing hats with us??
  12. . No flowers please but donations to : http://www.jasonthreadgoldfuneraldirector.com/ 01724 865865 for the Salvation Army in respect of Michael Brooke. if you phone, they can tell you how to donate.
  13. It was, TH. I will be there this evening too.
  14. Mike didn’t want to say what was happening to him and bravely faced his illness. Rest in peace Mike, you were a dear and loyal friend. We are in touch with Pat so your kind thoughts will reach her.
  15. I will try to make it 😊
  16. Oh dear! I am QM for my sins so. Famous races Famous places Famous Sayings Famous Discoveries Famous mishaps Famously mixed
  17. I wish you all the happiest time at the Meet. Good chat, good food, good cheer. 😘
  18. Whimp is sold to a good home 🙂
  19. So it was especially good to see Arthur in the quiz tonight. steve and Bern tied in 2nd with 13 Mike won with 16 and said……..
  20. I am promising nothing, Helen 😋😋
  21. Ok next week….. topics….. Kings Queens Harrys Republics Celebrations Other stuff of a random description 😊
  22. I would say try to collect them by car and board at Richardsons. It’s the easiest option and the staff can help if needed. Parking a second car is best at the original boatyard too. This takes the guesswork out of the start of the holiday.
