  1. Own the table cloth, nothing is new it’s just reinvented, give it 10 years and you will be the envy of the neighbourhood with that piece of retro cloth
  2. There is a lot more in the world of employment than just working for the man, I am employed for the first time in my working life, and I got the job by writing my phone number on a bit of paper and dropping it in local businesses, the local boatyard phoned me up asked me to go in for a chat and gave me the start, I have started and ran several businesses during my working life, I have zero qualifications but a willingness to work and a decent accountant to sort out the bits I can’t get my head round, if your willing to graft you will always find employment somewhere,
  3. Quick question, does the tempature have an effect on crays, I,ve not seen any sign of them but have been told they are in the canal I,m on so stuck the pot out this weekend but so far nothing, so was wondering if it’s just a bit to cold ??
  4. Lots here this morning just took the dogs out for a quick toilet walk and the swallows are ducking and diving in and out the boats, will try for some pics later ???
  5. I was the exact same mate, should have been given a trade at 12 as the next 4 years were a total waste of my life, I can watch someone on you tube rebuild an engine and follow suite but if I tried read about it I will be there a month and still be none the wiser ??
  6. Wife applied for some volunteer work in the local hedgehog sanctuary yesterday coincidentally ?
  7. Saw my first swallows of the year this morning, happy days ??
  8. Funny that they use Hempel there as well I also anti foul cruisers and some people like to spend a bit more and buy there own, the pressure washer is a bit of a beast 4000 psi, will take you off your feet if you haven’t planted yourself, all the boats are coated in zebra mussels and it blows the lot off rust paint and mussels ?
  9. Tonight’s chicken curry ??
  10. Started working in the local boatyard two weeks ago, just pressure washing and painting the underwater parts of the boats, anyways something I never realised and always assumed they come from a warm sea environment, but there are actually sponges growing on the bottom of canal boats, here are a few of the better ones I picked up last week, pretty cool I thought??
  11. Strange they if they can’t swim as I think though have not bothered to check they are a member of the shrimp family ?
  12. Took this as I left for work this morning, something beautiful in all this madness
  13. Can’t be arsed Sunday lunch, all the stuff in the fridge about to go out of date omelette ?
  14. Sorry I,m not very technical mate but here is a series of photos , web site, section and article, sure you can sort it from there mate ?
  15. Gin and tonic 1/2 pints ?
  16. The same people you trust on other issues have stolen it ?
  17. I have been contacted through this site by a news paper journalist, but declined his offer, however different people do different things and frank is happy to put his name and phone number in the papers as it does bring in a lot of good leads, you just have to deal with the shit that comes with it and he’s happy to do that, ?
  18. Quite surprised nobody has put this up before, been following it since it happened, could have a knock on effect on the price of things if it don’t get moved soon, ???
  19. There are no experts as I,ve said on numerous occasions and news papers want to sell papers, so not always worried about finding the truth or quoting anything you say honestly ?
  20. It’s a cutout much like the one we use to scale photos and at shows to give a size scale, more muddy water ?
  21. Just returned from a day in the dry dock pressure washing the bottoms of boats to this, lovely jublee plus bubble and squeak for tomorrow ???

    Pet hates.

    Internet wankers that think it acceptable to talk to you in a way they would not to your face, other than that getting much better at turning the other cheek in my old age and I have just started working in a boatyard 100yards from my boat so no more driving in the rush hour which can be very stressful and ruin your day before it’s begun
