I think only a mod can change your log in name, but be prepared if there is a big outage all your old post count will be lost. It happened to me. Anyway you won't be you, to us all, if you change. paul

Tongue firmly in cheek. paul

If, it is anything like some other uodates we have had. Although the tech team sorted it. This maybe goodbye dear friends. I can no longer be bothered with fighting inanimate objects. Hopefully it will not be a like a new microsoft platform, as the song goes, 11 soon becomes 12. Adieu, hopefully not.good friends, adieu. paul Ps I am not cynical just distrusful of (improvements)

Vaughan, sorry but does your car have power steering? Thrusters are a handy tool not BUT vital, having just driven a car without power steering and UNserveod brakes and no syncro gearbox, I have nothing but admiration for the pioneers of driving. paul

The only way to complete the todo list, is sell the boat or change it for another one but that way just resets the todo list. When we sold our boat I thought now I can relax, but someone thought it was time to catch up on jobs at home. That is an even bigger list! paul

All councils have embraced cost cutting, sorry re-wilding, our local council have it to perfection, do less charge more. Pay themselves more for embracing nature, and making life better for all. The latest thing is to charge for everthing taken to the refuge site (dump) unless they can resell it. Me a cynic, I don't believe it. paul

If you still know your forum password, I suggest you delete the forum from your phone then try downloading it afresh. I had to do that with always hobbies after getting an error message. paul

When I owned a boat, I would have agreed fully with the title. Now we hire (rarely). I would have titled it, insert your own asterisks, beware the rare but entitled arrogant owner. Last year we were asked to move because an "owner" wanted to moor in the spot we had. I made great drama of videoing all around then told the prat we used to own, then we got fed up with being collective with his type. paul

Eat in or out, depends on a good menu like this example, paul

Do what I did on Zimbi, I bought a cheap nasty plastic one and swapped the inards over. It was still working when we sold the boat. paul

But having just seen an advert on the telly for the RNIB, a worthy cause, but I must ask why it is shown with small sub titles? No offence intended but surely sub titles are for the hard of hearing not the blind both causes deserve more support anyway. paul

They will tell you they are not charging for electricity just for connecting to the system! Many places around the country are doing that, caravan sites etc. It is a way round the not being able to charge more for the electricity. paul

So, I will repay the favour. paul

Okay, Clive, get that ready for the end of September and we are prepared to do a shakedown cruise for the new owners instead being on Clearway. paul

John can I have an inch if gold bar but use your metric rule please. 2.5 cm to the inch. pauk

Chris I would fill up at Boulters sat, if near, if you pay £1.90 there and the yard charges £2.10. That's 20p profit for you out of the fuel deposit, no problem because they would not supply the requested info. paul

Drawback with point 3, If you displace more water, then the river levels get higher. Then I suppose 1&2 have to be reapplied. paul

This topic has gone down the pan. paul

Sorry but happy fishermen? DOES NOT COMPUTE!¡!!!!!!!! Unless there is a new species of fishermen. paul Ps joking about the wrong section, but here I will alienate many.... I cannot stand:- golfers, anglers , football fans etc. I have many hobbies but unless I am with a like minded hobbist I do not talk about them.

Should be in the fishing section! Then I don't need to read boring posts about boring things. paul

I built one those. I motorized the paddle wheel and put lots of led lights on. Then dropped it while moving it to decorate the room it was in. Doh! now spare bits for future models. paul

May I recommend a cruise round the UK. We did it one year. Shetland, Orkneys Tobormory, Dublin, Silly Isles, Guernsey, We loved it, going to places we wanted to see but not wanting to spend days there. paul

So from solar power to tidal power in one easy move! paul

Nice Ian, No need to duck for bridges now. ? kingfisher name? Bright Kingfisher? If Marina has one good hand and you two, at least you will be able to pass her the cleaning stuff. Marina, Jill says if he tries that hit him (with your good hand) for her. Really missing Zimbi and Cove and friends we had there. paul

Good luck with your new venture. When you move onboard you will soon find new friends, Brian Wards Norfolk Marine Asap To mention a few. paul
