Thanks very much chaps. I'm hoping to wake up tomorrow like a new man; life begining at forty and all that Cheers and I'll see you tonight Matty.

I always use Cribbs for batteries and tyres. Always very helpful.

Where was this spot and what time was it Well done matey and Happy Christmas from me and the rest of the family; you know who I mean. Best of luck for the cod comp. I not sure whether to follow you or Tony anymore.

I think it's just like a giant hoover Matt. What looks like just water is sandy water. We can argue about it over 10 or 20 pints on Wednesday if you like

Waterway again

Waterway.

Here are the other two dredgers. The grey one looks a serious piece of kit!

Paul, I'm not trying to put you off a new engine but my 520 cruises at 16knts (that's at 4000revs; lets not get into the meaning of cruising again shall we ). Full revs gets us up to 20-21knts with two on board and all the gear. I have a Yamaha 30 4stroke. Are you sure it's not the way you are set up or maybe you've got water trapped between the double skin adding to the weight. Simon.

Two fellas are fishing in a boat under a bridge. One looks up and sees a funeral procession starting across the bridge. He stands up, takes off his cap, and bows his head. The procession crosses the bridge and the man puts on his cap, picks up his rod and reel, and continues fishing. The other guy says, "That was touching. I didn't know you had it in you." The first guy responds, "Well, I guess it was the thing to do - after all, I was married to her for 40 years."

Get your anoraks of lads

Apologies from us; it's the time of year. I've got a nativity with both kids in the morning and a Panto in the afternoon. My life would be made a misery if I didn't attend.

It's bloody horrible change it back. Humbug

Probably not Sam!

It's good to have a healthy imagination Mike but I expect Sam is a bit confused with everones fascination with a nice pair of tights. I suppose he'll find out one day.

Intesting article. I think that until everyone who uses the sea is required to take a test and recieve a qualification, certification etc. these grey areas are bound to exist. Good for irresponsable idiots on jet skis etc. (not all but quite a few) but bad for the responsible sea- goers.

crikey

Stockings; suspenders; goose fat; vaseline. Surely I must be on the wrong forum again.

now, now. there's no need for that

That bloody hypnotism doesn't seem to be working Tom

I think maybe that's just to keep you afloat Bob

Sounds like a fair deal to me

Hand-line fishing for bass Quite an interesting link (if it works).

Martin, Just because the door and his hall wall are in the pic doesn't mean you get those as well. It's lucky his wife isn't in the background.

A really nice boat Charlie. Alderney here you come

Ok, so that's the prize for catching a sole. What do win for a flounder?
