  7. Hi,Brian,would like it to be a tad wider if poss,ta.
  8. Wow,What a change Jonzo,you have been busy,now all i have to do is locate everything,still probably won't take long..
  9. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21432226 Apparently Yes.... Rod will be pleased,he'll have to leap up even more.
  10. What a nice chap he is ..Before anyone says it i have no affiliation with him at all just that i have spoken to him at times.and read most of his posts... As an important partner with Richardsons the largest boathire company on the Broads,he is without doubt an entrepanuer of new ideas along with his brother Paul. One of the reasons his dad handed over the reigns to his sons is because he knew they would deliver better things for his hire company propelling them into the 21st century as a leading boat hire company. I like many other were amazed about his boat building posts. A lot of peeps on here followed his picture posts with envey i am sure, i know i did.. Long may they take the company on to better things...
  11. Another website i found today might be of interest. http://www.picmonkey.com/
  12. I have done that Brian.still the same for some reason...don't you just love the internet...
  13. Am having some problems with this format. When i start Win 7 and then try to access GC nothing happens i click on the button several times and eventually it starts or reverts to not responding. Has anyone else had this problem? Firefox is ok. but prefer Google when it works. Would a security virus program interfere with the running of GC? I use Kaspersky have done for years.
  14. Thanks,for the detailed info Mark.so not worth upgrading my Win 7..blerdy ell,where did you get Win 8 for £25 from?
  15. Anyone tried it yet,if so could you give us a rundown on if it is any better than 7 ??

    The Chet

    Yes a bit tight in places Mark,you don't want to meet too many boats going the other way.
  19. Just spent a nice week down the southern broads,3 nights at the OBYS with the thursday night powerboat racing to watch. Weather was nice and warm and sometimes Hot with little or no wind at times,train to Lowestoft to trawl the shops there and walk on the seafront and a paddle in the sea,and the proverbial bag of chips.shame there won't be an air show next year. Olive took 3 big bags of assorted dollies she won to the local animal park to raffle off in aid of the animals upkeep. Lots of boats around as usual for this time of year. One hireboat had there ropes tied to tightly and amid frantic efforts to free the boat from strangling itself finally managed to free them with a big bounce into the water. Nearly all boats had someone fishing from them,wonder how many had licences. There was a 65 foot widebeam narrowboat tied alongside which came from Dover.(rather them than me) Had a carvery in the newly opened Wherry Hotel and very nice it was too,all for £6.49. Encountered many,many boats mostly private racing around as if there was no tommorow,why do they do this? the wash from them was uncomfortable. Friday we decided to try to get in at Geldeston (Locks inn) free moorings and found there was only one other boat staying the night.but lots of dayboats,canoes,dingies you name it turned up to try the pub grub. We had a snack if you could call it that,i had a ploughmans lunch Wow it was huge and good value if a tad dear at £7.99. in the evening we went back in to sample the scampi and chips,nice.It was curry night and there were plenty of people turning up to eat it. The local beers were popular too,I had something different,dandelion and burdock and ginger beer.(it was my non alcoholic night.) well thats my excuse. Around 9pm a small boat came up with about 7 males in it all with a bottle or tin in there hands and they came back to the boat at 11.30 all a bit tipsey and laughing,hope they got back ok. Saturday we arrived at Beccles Town Quay where we got a free night with the Loyalty Card.(10 nights and get 1 free) You can also get BTopenzone Wifi or Bt Fon there as well if you are a BT customer which is a bonus. Sunday we travelled back home where we saw the most boats i have seen out on the southern rivers for a very long time we must have passed at least 70 boats on our journey back not counting those moored up. all in all a very enjoyable cruise.
