I could be really tempted to have that done to Nyx (27ft Elysian Bounty) I wonder how much that job would cost

oooooh it's starting to sound tempting.

When I read the thread title I just thought that Jasper was a fan of car radiators. Now I know the real purpose of the thread, might I suggest that a wet t-shirt is a really good way to cool down. Gracie take note, I hear the weather will be REALLY hot next time you're there

I used to use a greenhouse heater just to keep the chill off in my 25 footer, worked like a charm!

So..., challenge to all... Where the hell can I get some good black pudding? You know the stuff... Black pudding that isn't (nor has ever been) wrapped in black plastic. Black pudding that doesn't taste of MSG. Black pudding that has been made... no... created by a butcher who knows what he's doing. Well? Anyone know?

I have it from a reliable authority on the subject Peter, that squid (Loligo vulgaris) are happiest when kept damp..., well wet actually. Squibs on the other hand must be kept dry. An easy way to remember this is that a damp squib will not go off irrespective of prevailing weather conditions. A damp squid however WILL GO OFF after a fairly short while. :)

No prob John, My lips are sealed ... schhhh eh!

I don't have a pet bottle. Where does yours sleep? How often do you feed it? and are they difficult to house train?

About the same, perhaps 15' wouldn't go any shorter!

I tend to favour ropes just a tad longer than the boat, but do remember to keep them away from the prop!

I went into Dixons and said... "I need a new camera. Please show me one and make it snappy."

We need a canal to go behind the pilots office, A swing bridge for the road and then a two way lock (Oulton broad style) the canal rejoining the main river between the two bridges. Simples and not that expensive!

Trouble getting planning consent for the car-park?

Yey, Just in time for the meet!

Astral Emblem was one of the Ernest Collins fleet. Herbert woods eventually bought it and changed the name from Emblem to Light. I'm sorry but I don't understand the second part of your question.

Welcome from me too. I'm just across the border in Herts

That's nice.

I'm laughing so much it hertz

Iain, I'm proud of you bro!

That's very good news Robin, it's about time BA had someone on board who had some experience. (apologies to the other syndicate members (Bar one) )

So that's it. Now we know for sure. All confirmed. The Norfolk Broads has the approval of a seal.

Right now...., What would I give for a GIN !!!

There's a hole in my bucket

Hiya Hemsby, I hope you don't mind me calling you 'Hemsby', 'Pie' seems so formal. Welcome to you, and don't worry about hijacking threads, we do it all the time!
