Smoggy

That is usually the most likely cause of problems at sea and happens to the best maintained boats at times, if you make an adaptor for the last bleed screw in the system you can save a lot of pumping and mess by using an oil extractor to bleed the system, just hook it up and suck the fuel through.

How about a car air-con service place? I'm sure my isotherm fridge had a regular re-gassing valve on the system.

Celotex isn't that great for low frequencies that you tend to get from diesel engines, the quietlife stuff is pricey but very good. It's one of those jobs where heavy is better at absorbing noise.

The extra toes get in the way of the brake pedal.....

No problem, just wait for the hot flush.......

I'll have no doubt forgotten it by now anyway, it'll be like watching dave.

Is it a new series or a re-run of the last one? I did enjoy that.

Nice one Ray, that's how a bss should be. Now time to get out and enjoy it.

As do many on here so it seems, I think they are wonderful and can do no wrong.

I was probably leaking out in those smutty photos anyway.....

You'll probably get the message "keyboard error-press F1 to continue" ARGHHH! How will that work if the keyboard has a sodding error?????? You gotta love computers.

Don't be daft it's windows working out the next reason to be turned off and on again.

Software updates, you mean the advances in technology that make your computer slower than ever and more irritating than ever and probably no longer supports all your hardware. And in 3 weeks there will be another update to patch the security issue in the first update that got your email hacked and all your smutty photos on facebook and your bank details may have accidently leaked out.

Does it involve rolled up trouser legs and funny handshakes? If I need to be declared a nice person that probably rules me out. I stole that halo from an elderly lady while she was feeding stray orphans.

It says full member under my username and in my profile but I see no full member only section, unless this is it of course.

But it started off as a relatively civilised thread about why someone wasn't happy with things, it was only in the last couple of pages it went daft and not really anything to do with the original thread, I was happy to put some input into it and would not have been able to if was hidden away in a secret area only accessible by the powers that be.

You are spot on Simon, don't be put off by the volley of flying teddies it happens on all forums from time to time.

I'm hoping not to encounter any of them if I can help it.

It's worth remembering that although they don't have such good boats and equipment there are many independently run lifeboats around the country just as worthy of supporting, hemsby and caister just to mention a few.

Notes to self. 1. put 2018 offshore sticker on boat. 2. chuck a couple of quid in the next rnli box I see. That looks bloody terrifying! I'm not medically trained but I'm guessing the colour of adrenalin is brown.

I would imagine most of the east coast entrances will have changed for this season, will make it more interesting....

I'd be interested to know wether boats started sinking before or after the pontoons came apart but I'm sure the various insurance companies will pull that bit apart with a fine tooth comb, either way it's not going to be cheap and my sympathies go out to all concerned. At least no fatalities, boats can be replaced or repaired.

I've heard from a few sources that holyhead is not a good harbour in a bit of a blow, didn't think it would be that bad though, although that was a bit more than "a bit of a blow".

I'll forgive you, you owe most of the holyhead boaters a beer though.

Do you speak from experience QV?
