Hi Brandenjg, There is a couple of Beer Pump Engines on Ebay currently. One is on a BIN at £49 and the other is a auction and is currently £28 with four bidders. The engineering tools are interesting but may not be worth that much, anyone in engineering would have to send the micrometers & dial gauges away for calibration checking before use. The original cost of these tools would have been an arm & several legs! Regards Alan

Hi Eric, Have a safe trip and don't forget the travel socks Regards Alan

Hello James, Ems & Jangles, Welcome to the NBN forum. Here is a ink to the details of Barnes Omega. http://www.barnesbrinkcraft.co.uk/our-boats/detail/27/ I think Robin did a review on the Omega. Regards Alan

To be Honest I feel any reopened or new mooring be it owned/managed by the Broads Authority or privately owned should provide some form of refuge facility. The last thing we need is newly opened moorings being a dumping ground. Regards Alan

The biggest risk to the stitching is how portent the bleach solution is, a cap full to a bucket of water should be OK but a more potent solution will rot the stitching so be careful. Regards Alan

Hi Griff, I didn't realize that you were a flat capper (ok for the shooting lark) I hope you do not wear it in the van or I will have to avoid driving in Doncaster and at times on the Broads Regards Alan

Hi Wayne, Welcome to the NBN forum. Please let the forum members have an insight into what type of boat you are looking for? Regards Alan

The Broads Authority should be encouraging youngsters onto the rivers and broads, as you say they will use waterways that are free to use. No doubt clubs that own kayaks for youngsters use will also use other waterways. Getting youngsters involvement in the Broads is the key to its continued use. Regards Alan

Hi Carole, You have been reading those books again or maybe you are just a aficionado of words. Regards Alan

Hi Peter, Didn't one of them marry Billie Wright? Regards Alan

Hi Vaughan, Here is the picture for you.

It is not uncommon that matches are staged at the Beccles Yacht Station, we have been advised when mooring the previous night, not to delay our morning departure. Regards Alan

Hi Charlie, That bag looks a trifle small for Grace's requirements but I bet she would like the idea in principle. Regards Alan

Hi Jon, Ours is the same (well it would be), our increase is £51.68 on last year which I worked out at about 13.85%. Regards Alan

I also had my toll request message, sadly the message is not supported by the internet service? Yes you can read it in plain text but it is somewhat a pain. I guess I will just log onto the tolls account to see the damage. Regards Alan

Hi Fred, Were Siddy's boats Pennine Boats of Silden, if they were, we once hired with them. Regards Alan

Hi Phil, We were trying to keep the Southern Broads a secret especially in the summer months. We were there in early July and it was quite busy. Regards Alan

Here are some observations from my mate Ron in the USA Astute Observations · I don't do drugs. I find I get the same effect just by standing up really fast. · I don't like political jokes. I've seen too many get elected. · The most precious thing we have is life, yet it has absolutely no trade-in value. · If life deals you lemons, make lemonade. If life deals you tomatoes, make Bloody Marys. · Shopping tip: You can get shoes for a buck at bowling alleys. · Every day I beat my previous record of consecutive days I've stayed alive. · No one ever says, "It's only a game!" when their team's winning. · Ever notice that people who spend money on beer, cigarettes and lottery tickets are always complaining about being broke and not feeling well? · Isn't having a smoking section in a restaurant like having a peeing section in a swimming pool? · Marriage changes passion; suddenly you're in bed with a relative. · Why is it that most nudists are people you don't want to see naked? · Snowmen fall from Heaven un-assembled. · Now that food has replaced sex in my life, I can't even get into my own pants. · I signed up for an exercise class and was told to wear loose fitting clothing. If I HAD any loose fitting clothing, I wouldn't need the class! · Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference. · Wouldn't you know it! Brain cells come and brain cells go, but FAT cells live forever. · Why is it that our children can't read a Bible in school, but they can in prison?
