Even wrinkly old men can pull eye candy, if they have a Roller!

http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/man_in_hospital_after_jumping_into_water_to_save_his_dog_on_the_broads_1_4496080 This one really does beg the question, is a human's life worth risking for that of a dogs? I can guess the answer to that one! Beyond that I know nothing more than what we can all read in the above link. My sympathy for the loss of the dog though.

All necessary mod cons then! Non of that superfluous electrical stuff.

Fifty years after being young! Errr, when did I cease being young?

Re Robin's Attack of the swans, harmless fun, surely? Once I was young and irresponsible, I'm still alive, fifty years on!

Someone quite famous once made the point that 'lifejackets are the end of adventure', and that was in relation to Swallows and Amazons! Don't know that I agree entirely but I do agree that today's 'cotton wool' culture is not always healthy. I one returned to an old school and noted that a mature oak had been cut down. As kids we used to climb up to the 'crow's nest', many feet up into the crown of that excellent old tree. When asked I received the inevitable response, need I tell you what? Apparently no child ever fell from that tree, and over the years probably thousands of young men climbed it.

Very clear is that! Mind you, some awquad, bloody minded, pedantic old sod might refer to a gaff as a 'yard' rather than a 'spar'! Still, you can always say 'parallels' to that!!

Complex? Naa, basic and primeval, men are famous for it, not like the ladies!

That sort of behaviour doesn't do much for the ozone layer either!

A new car park in Rose lane? Trade for the famous Rose Lane 'ladies of the night' must be on the increase then!

Lotus!

Any half decent saddler should be able to do a job like that. Last one I had done was fifty quid from the saddlers at Ashby Hall near Somerleyton.

i`ve noticed a fair number of people on this forum are all too keen to be judge and jury I've seen far, far worse elsewhere! With respect Speed, it was up to you to amend your post as we can only judge what is put before us. That said I do agree that a lot of people went over the top with their condemnations. In the meantime I would hate to see you become an irregular contributor rather than the generally valued one that you are..

I would imagine that the problem is actually that of boarding and disembarking whilst under way.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, as clearly did the participants.

'Tis alongside Gt Yarmouth on the River Yare, you can't miss it if you are passing.

You never know what's going to turn up! The obvious aside, the smell of poo and cannabis is distinctly different. There were a couple of youngsters quietly and contentedly puffing away in a shelter in my local park yesterday. We had taken our grandson to feed the squirrels but when the heavens opened and we dived into shelter. Phew, both of us commented on the pong, the two youngsters rather surprised that we recognised the distinctive niff. Perhaps we'll now see the Fuzz, on their knees, trying to fire up little piles of pooch poo rather than face the mirth of their colleagues.

For various reasons I choose not to be a dog owner, doesn't mean that I don't like them though. However, if I were both an on-board holiday maker and a responsible dog owner then I would be concerned at the lack of provision for dog waste, both on the boat and ashore. Dumping the 'poo' in the rivers is all very well, if it doesn't float. Perhaps dog owners should contribute to dredging costs via a terd toll.

All I do is to copy (left click) the 'address' and paste (right click) into my script, simples. If I can do it then anyone can! Just to show that it is no fluke here is another 'chapter' from Passion. Any fool can do it! Absolute doddle.

The classic of angling programs:

At least the owners haven't bagged up the pooch's poops and then thrown the bags down or hung them on nearby hedges. Where should boat owners/holiday makers dispose of dog waste?
