  1. What makes it even worse was that the young girl they threatened with a knife at the garage robbery is 6 months pregnant. I hope they do serious time for this affront to civilised living.
  2. I guess you could call me disabled and I have spent time on BA and other boats including Star Premiere. I have found I cannot single hand just too dangerous. I have found without exception everyone I have come across to have been nothing but helpful and attentive, that includes Admiral Griff who is always attentive when in my company, and indeed at the last forum meet everyone was there to help me. Bit of a ramble but I hope I got the point over
  3. Robin as you know I try not to miss a party and as for a crane sounds fun bring it on as they say, as long as that Griffin chap is not on the controls.
  4. Falcon the MOB steam launch had all new bearings a couple of years ago. I was told the cause of the knocking but have forgotten.
  5. But if you don't come on the Broads with her you wont have to change the glass bowls I believe. Robin I am really quite envious.
  6. Well done Lewis. It would seem that what is good for Vettel is not good for Verstaphen, most odd, obviously Ferrari rule ok. Sorry about the spelling Max.
  7. That is right Liz we took over from Water Rail on the Tuesday afternoon . There are quite a few shots with Winsome in camera the best quite near the beginning. A very enjoyable week but quite hard work with long days, still it was really nice to meet Timothy and Pru both delightful people. Tim & Pru disappearing into the sunset.
  8. Carol a great film I enjoyed it a lot. The opening scene with the steering wheel was definitely a Vesta as was the boat at the Beaucham arms moorings Sorry Vaughan I think the forward view over the foredeck was also a Vesta. Just my view of course.
  9. The ex landlord of the Spread Eagle, after the fire, went to the F&F where he was very successful managing it. John Marjoram if I remember correctly.
  10. People who use the red strip behind disabled parking as a trolley super highway. Backing out between two mini busses becomes quite fraut. They can become quite aggressive when they nearly drive their trolley into the side of ones car and their mobile phone conversation is interrupted. Oh and dnks my left arm doesn't work very well and I need my stick to balance so do I wave a foot or throw the stick down and wave a hand or just fall over and see if anyone notices.
  11. What a beautiful boat I am officially envious now. That is a serious piece of jousting equipment hanging off the bow. I still don't know where it is though. You beat me to it, I know where it is now. I wonder is that an Australian built boat?
  12. A lovely girl and a lovely boy please pass on my love and best wishes to all .
  13. Clive is that a Bluemells steering wheel ? There are companies in the vintage car world restoring these nowadays,you could try David Wall he would know. http://www.davidwall-wroxham.co.uk/
  14. Ice yachting was quite popular even through to the 1980 s see the link below courtesy of the lovely Carol, you will need to scroll down http://www.broadlandmemories.co.uk/1900to1949gallery25.html.
  15. Ian I doubt you are higher than the outboard boat of the three pictured.Here is a photo of Lady Christina going through one of the bridges Adam stands six foot odd and he has clearance above his head.
  16. We went through the bridges this August. Almost free moorings a mere £27.00 for a round of drinks. There were 14 including the four canine crew involved who ate at the pub, Macie and Lulu being the matriarchs the puppies the other two. Great pub well worth a visit if only for the mooring, the pub incidentally is fascinating one has to climb up through the building from river level to street level a most interesting climb. The pub is The Ribs of Beef or maybe now just the Ribs on Magdellan Street.
  17. I am glad she is back home, a little stressful for a holiday. Poppy I am not going to rise to that although I could quit easily.
