NeilB Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Day 3 of the Boatshow although I’ve been here since Wednesday. Bit different this year as we have our own boat for docking demos. Also means comfy seats for when the aching feet kick in ! IMG_0493.MOV 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 most unusually for me, today I have the TV on, to watch the Queens funeral, I think it must be about 2 years since I last watched TV, so much so that the freesat box had to do an update and then be retuned to get things working. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I have to say,unlike you I like my TV.We also will watch events today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadsLady Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I don't watch much TV either but will be watching today. It's going to be very emotional for the whole country I would imagine. A feeling of deep pride for us all too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they arriving by post through the letter box as described. After all the boat seems to have everything. Hospitality should be pizza as that can fit through a slit as well.

NeilB Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 After a rather long drive home I’m finally back on board, M25 was pretty bad. I would say that in my 35 odd boat shows this was probably the best. Great weather, great team of people and we even proved that women can drive boats…..

Gracie Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Thank you guys, very lovely things to say. It doesn't do any harm to have a laugh and lighten things up a tad, too much doom and gloom at the moment. No one person is bigger than the forum, it takes all sorts and we have all sorts on here for sure Just be kind and remember we all have different points of view. The pesky mods do the best they can too I reckon As for Meantime, I will be keeping a very close eye on him, I think he drinks far too much wine x 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
