  1. Well i have finally got round to it, not too neatly i may add as i just used paint pens, but the dinghy has its new name - Skogkatt (fairy cat from norse mythology)
  2. do volvo make vans, 180,000 is only just properly run in for a volvo.
  3. oh expensive (dear)
  4. well I already have made 2 hulls in that design, maybe I should try and take a mould off of them and do as the original did to become the bourne 40 moulds.
  5. much as I would love to (and could have added another 20 odd stone) I am not headed up until Tuesday, plus I have a prior engagement teaching kids astronomy tonight so wont even make the quiz. good luck in the venture and I am sure you will succeed.
  6. Craigs list says Aston Mars
  7. just wondering how under stress of weather can be defined, cant get under the bridge because of the tides- is that stress of weather? too wet? too hot? I can see that if that definition isnt clarified, then under stress of weather is a bit open ended and open to argumentative interpretation, that the courts might just throw out if it got that far.
  8. I once had a VW Variant, this had a petrol version of the old eberspachier heating, not that I would reccomend that as I once saw a variant catch fire when the heater wasnt maintained well, I too would go for the option mentioned above with a seperate deisel tank, that way you would be able to fill that deisel tank with red deisel at the reduced red price rather than the 60/40 split price they currently supply where you are taxed for 60% propulsion use (it looks like the laws may be changing to warrant this anyway)
  9. maybe a bit of pipe lagging on the pulpit rails (so you dont scratch the brickwork)
  10. give Gordon at Marthams a call, he can probably get it under at a lot lower clearance than most.
  11. Well a bit of warning wouldn't have gone amiss, we were almost ready to get the men with white coats out to pay you a visit.
  12. remember they all go through Potter Heigham Bridge, I took Judith through wroxham at 6 foot 6 and had a good clearance to spare all round, at 7 foot it felt like there was a good 18"
  13. I believe it is the chinese that have an ancient curse tat goes May you live in interesting times.
  14. pounds shillings and pence - pre 1971 decimalisation?
  15. perhaps he mistook the forum for his dream diary?
  16. that probably means they will correct it by reducing the speed limit.
  17. is this the product of the fertile Timbo brain before the mornings coffee I wonder.
  18. but what about the staithes above the extents of tidal waters, do you want those maintained too , eg catfield dyke, the rivers through wroxham and up to Coltishall, if you limit it to tidal waters, a lot of the prettiest scenery will be lost.
  19. That makes so much sense, I have always wondered why most wooden cruisers have a tall stool for the steering position, and that answers the puzzle nicely
  20. I guess you could say He/She/It (male/ female/some corporation or company (or alien non gender))
  21. well it just goes to show, I must remember to wear my hat at all times at the meet, if only to prove to Gracie that anyone in a hat must be one of your friends Tim. when are you back on board, I am headed up to pick up Jayne from Martham next Tuesday, and probably heading south straight away.
  22. Alan, I do the same, I make a cauliflower cheese, 1 cauliflower does me enough to do a side to 4 meals (or even a main plus 3 sides), the days portion getting thrown in the oven in a small oven proof dish for the time it takes to cook the sausages or chicken kiev or whatever else I am having to warm it up again.
