  1. Pump out - pure luxury. If you have to take the waste tank home to empty it, you use it less
  2. M My daughter's learing to drive at the moment and has a theory test app she downloaded. I got 3wrong out of 56, so a pass
  3. Hello ! Unsure from your posts if you are now local to the Broads.... ?
  4. I remember every little thing as if it only happened yesterday I was barely seventeen, and I once killed a boy with a fender guitar I don't remember if it was Telecaster or Stratocaster But I do remember that it had a heart of chrome, and a voice like a ***** angel
  5. EDP today - now that'd make things even more interesting
  6. ....and about to start digging up the Boundary too. Options to get to the airport reduced for me in the mornings. Maybe go via Coltishall and do some boat spotting.
  7. .... and the second if you are taking it home to empty ( only up the road ) make sure it can't turn over in the boot.
  8. Never got to fly in a Spitfire. Crawled all over them, Lancaster and Hurricane. Best flight was in one of my precious Jaguars.
  9. They flew over the 'base' from Aylsham side, then turned towards Norwich. Sadly didn't make it out my way either
  10. If you are in the region of Coltishall, Spitfire and Hurricane inbound for flypast at former RAF Coltishall in around 15 min
  11. Oh - and I sail a dinghy at Hickling ( not as often as I should ) - I'd not dare take the Yacht up there for fear of the weed
  12. I live in Barton, and sail pretty much anywhere on the main broad, with my yacht drawing 1 metre. I don't venture far into Turkey Broad, and treat the island on the Neatishead side with caution as I caught that once still twenty feet or so outside the markers
  13. You are an exception though, Griff
  14. I keep contemplating giving sound signals of intended manoeuveres to the stinkies - that would be interesting
  15. As a teenager on a paper-round, there was one particularily savage mutt. Used to roll the paper tight, sit it just in the letter box, and when he went for it whack the other end hard and send it through like a missile
  16. Look VERY like this one albeit different paint job https://www.nationalhistoricships.org.uk/register/2939/sunstar or http://www.classicyachtbrokerage.co.uk/product/new-listing-37ft-borwick-motor-yacht-1927-part-project-lying-warwickshire/
  17. Gliders ? One evening I was out flying models on an Oxfordshire RAF base. In the distance several real ones, looking for thermals over a power station. Next thing I know, one is landing on the grass. I quickly landed the model and went over to the glider. Chap is just getting out, and turns to me, stands up straight and says 'gud evenink' - it was just like the clip of the Polish pilot in the Battle of Britain film after he lands in the hay field. Having poiltely pointed out he's landed on a military airfield, and not having a pitchfork handy, I took him to the guardroom. By the time I got back to the airfield there were another 2 or 3 gliders in. Late in the day, lift failing, on a cross country, they had little option. Next day a Pawnee tug came in and took them out again
  18. Got one on mine still, and another for spares
  19. I love the fact I can be doing around 5 mph under sail and still get easily passed on the Broad
  20. Having heard of a recent prosecution for no insurance, I just looked up the rules over these increasingly popular devices and was quite surprised. Unless the scooter is from a hire company you must have insurance and can only use it on private land AND all users must hold a Q rating on a full or provisional licence I'll bet " not a lot of people know that "
  21. Chap in the yacht without the mast is a liveaboard. Was speaking to him a few weeks back, and he's been on that since COVID hit. Same size as mine - I couldn't imagine spending a year on a 23' yacht .....
  22. Welcome - you may pass me pottering about on Barton. Waves will be exchanged
  23. Ah the Ribble. Off the wall thought chain I've had for years - Rolls Royce named jet engines after rivers. And I'd love to hear Johnathan Ross try to say Rolls Royce Ribble
