  1. I`m sure we have all seen the races since the topic was locked and I have no wish to start the blame game over who was right and who was in the wrong in the recent past incidents so all I will say is congrats to VB yesterday and I hope the championship goes all the way to the final race of the season where it is decided on the track and not in an office.

    As per their job advert on Indeed "Welcome to the Stonegate Group!

    We are the largest pub company in the UK and employ thousands of staff across our pubs, bars, clubs, and pub support center. Life at Stonegate is exciting, fast-paced, and always fun.

    We love investing in our employees and run an award-winning training program that helps our teams reach their goals of becoming General Managers, Area Managers, and everything in between.

    If you are customer-focused, passionate, and hard-working we want to hear from you!

    What are we doing?

    We are looking to take the New Inn to New Heights by spending some cash on the decor, changing the drinks offer, and updating the food menu.

    Want to know what the future looks like?

    Then pop along to our sister pub, The Lamb Inn, Norwich to get an idea of the offer and amazing vibe."

    If that is a word for word quote then someone somewhere needs leasons.

    I've just seen a Private Boat that has got Dark Windows all round with out any Curtains at all

    Probably did have curtains, you just didnt see them and a few hire boats have darkened windows now as well.

  4. Lady spots an advert "Teenager looking for Saturday work" so she books him.

    Hands him a tin of paint and a paintbrush with instructions to paint her porch.

    After an hour he knocks on the back door telling the lady

    "It`s all done and by the way, It`s a Porche"

    There is probably sludge in the bottom of the tank which is being stirred up when liquid is added. The tank needs a good clean out.  
     

     

    Isnt this more likely when the tank is empty,it is harder to stir up sludge laying in the bottom by adding more liquid when a tank is half full of liquid.

    Which means the current owners have use for 99 years. But is not transferable if the property changes hands either, through purchase or by inheritance.

    Perhaps the current owners lease that came with the house was for less than 99 years.

    The main thing is to leave the tank full over winter.

    That way there is no air space to cause condensation, which is why water accumulates in the bottom. Hence all this stuff about diesel bug.  Personally, I don't believe in it.  If the tank is full of diesel, you won't get any water in it!

    Seems a strange thing to say that you dont believe in the existance of diesel bug.

    Boat inflation seems to have set in, along with UK staycation prices in general :default_icon_e_surprised:

    Nothing has escaped staycation prices, prices of tents, vans, camper vans, caravans, motorhomes and boats have all been effected.

    First a quick easy recipe  for home,boat or caravan. 

    Four Red Mullet fillets,two banana shallots,one tin chopped tomatoes, one dessert spoon tomato puree.good handful of spaghetti. Salt and pepper. 

    Ensure fillet are boneless.Dice into about one inch pieces,thinly sliced shallots. Lightly  fry fish,giving a little  colour,cook about 2 minutes in hot oil,turn out.At the same time put saucepan of salted water on,adding a little olive oil.Fry shallots with colour, add tomatoes and tomato puree,bring to the boil,season,add a little  white wine,reduce the heat.Cook the spaghetti, dont overcook ,retain some pasta water,drain off and set aside.Add the pasta to the sauce adding the water that was retained, fish add a little Extra virgin olive oil.Finish with chopped parsley. 

    This doesn't take long ,the same time as it takes the water to boil and pasta to cook.

    Does giving a little colour mean adding food dye and will this serve 2 or 4 people Ian.

    On the South,as said most hire company  yards will sell.Always best to ask in advance  if possible.Brooms most times I fill up there,WRC. Beccles across from the YS.

    If you are using Brooms mostly for your diesel then you are passing Swancraft where I believe it is cheaper Ian.

    There is a GRP safe paint remover that I can't remember the name of. That's because I found it simply didn't work. I will have it in one of my units somewhere. I could probably lay my hands on it if you wanted to try it. 

    I have painted a lot of boats and there is no substitute that I have found for abrasives. 

    Sorry, I know that's not the news you wanted. 

    DO NOT USE NITROMORS. 

      

    He is an experianced boat painter so wouldnt use Nitromors nor would he simply flatten old paint and apply new paint but whatever this top layer is it aint playing ball with his normal paint remover and scraper plus the clock is ticking so any ideas are much appreciated guys n gals.
