Nah, just chuck the mudweight over and ride it out. Did much the same in Ranworth once.

Thanks Iain, That did the trick.

Program on Norfolk Radio this morning some of you may like to listen to http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02jmtz4#auto Some timings on the radio proigram that you might find handy, Starting 7 minutes into the program David Talbot from the NSBA, then another piece later (untimed). The meaty bits are (noted by hh:mm into the program) 01:07 to 01:13 Trudy Wakelin 01:38 to 01:46 Dr Packman and 02:08 to 02:14 David Talbot NSBA repeated. How do you get linky bits to work?

As I understand it, the power tool itself would normally come free in a packet of cornflakes, it';s the battery that costs the money, and invariably it's the battery that gives up the ghost first. Not holding a charge is favourite! We all live in hope that battery technology will improve. Ok, not a helpful post but be fair, when are mine ever

Hi Zilly, We hired Glenmore, the DC30 version as in your avitar, in about 94. My mother always claimed it went like whatsit off a doo dah, and with very little wash. (I often worried about my mother ) VetChugger, Was your Glenmore ever in the Ernest Collins fleet?

You wouldn't like it Alan, They suck.

The calendar then reads "3 events" or however many there are. click on that and it gives the details.

Does boiling the water help?

That footage should be shown many times on national TV, preferably naming him. There's nothing like a bit of public humiliation as a punishment. I wish I'd seen it!

Thanks Alan. Ha Ha Gracie, I corrected my spelling mistakes and typos while you were typing your reply so beat you to it. Na na ni na na.

Don't worry Gracie, I'm proving myself to be the biggest duffer here !! I put my holiday in, went to edit it but accidentally added it in again. Now I'm on my boat twice at the same time. Mods, please help!!!!! (first week in April)

Thanks for the link Steve, My next step is to speak very nicely to my sister.

Couldn't agree more Pauline. Some people are more vulnerable to burglaries than others, for example, it is rare for this house to be unoccupied, normally if I'm on the boat, Frances is at home. If we are both away, then one of her daughters house sits, so all in all, I don't mind posting when I'm coming to the boat.

Steve/Deb The stripey curtain material is the same as I had on my last boat. Where did you get it, I rather liked it and would like to have it on my current one.

I tried,but failed. I'm not too gofod with these pooter fingies

Brilliant.... How soon?

"So I put the phone to my other ear, put my drink down and told her I could... That's when Mr Plod came up behind me...." Thanks Geoff, I loved that. Your "up" spoiler does indicate not that you are speeding but that you had been speeding. gedoutta that one!

I generally keep it vague because I am!

I don't have a facebook account so have no idea what the fuss is all about!

This is just a thought I wanted to bounce around... I have a thread running about when I'll be on the boat and was thinking about a thread in the "other place" called "Who's about this weekend" or something similar. That thread suffered from becoming too large as time went on with peeps saying when they'd be on the broads. For each member to post in their own thread when they'd be there is cumbersome, so something in-between might work, the objective being general socialising. What I came up with was "Who's up in Jan?", "Who's up in Feb?" and, "Who's up in Mar?". etc. Sometime in Feb, the "Who's up in Jan" gets deleted and the "Who's up in Apr?" is started. How far in advance we go is pretty variable, as is how long the out dated ones are kept up. What this would acheive (for those who wanted it) would be a quick and easy route to casual meeting ups and swapping beers and insults. Just a thought. and I wondered if it could be automated!

Deffo arrange a meet-up Mike, perhaps the Dog Ludham or the White Horse Neatishead. Anywhere you like?

Most of my posts show me to be very "Groan up"

I'm feeling quite left out! I haven't received any e-mail from BA at all yet... Come on lads, I've got some money for you!

Nasty rough water holds no fear for me, I've been on Salhouse in a force 4 you know.
