Wicked !

Happy Birthday Tomo. Hope you're reeling a few in ! Jim

You must be really proud of yourself Adam ! Absolutely FIRST CLASS ! ! Bloody well done Sir !

What's happening Saturday ?

There's an awful lot of fish on that sounder Hooky. Bugger all on mine ! ! ( I expect Rob will say there's no fish on my drive ) ( or Brian )

Wicked !

Rush, Rush, Rush ! That's when it goes wrong. Try to take the time to recover a bit Adam. Look after your health. I assume she's already in the water ( I hope you put the bung in ) Now stop & take a breather. Jim

Is this true Brian ? Not so funny then ! !

Seen this before but still enjoy watching it ! !

No that's the government's tactic ! ! Work until you die. They don't see any point in chasing the professional scroungers. You'll NEVER get them to work. Just keep hitting the workers, you know they'll keep working. ALSO - - - save money by releasing the prisoners early so they can carry on stealing - - - - and producing lots more little thieves - - - - and - - - and - - - - GRRR. Oops ! went off on one a bit there ! Just come back from holiday and not looking forward to the " W " word Ah well - - - - - at least I know that my taxes are being spent wisely !

Happy Birthday Mick. Hope it's been a good un ! Jim

Should have gone to Stone Henge for the Summer Solstice Hermits, Druids, and all sorts of wierdos ( fantastic bait for great whites ) Or chop them up for Tope & Smoothies Jim

Happy Birthday Ferret. Hope all's well Bill. Not seen you for ages. Have an extra pint if you've been a good lad Have an extra 2 pints if you've been a BAD lad Jim

Although last time I didn't have it done by them and it was half that ! ! Yes it was done by a qualified engineer.

Poole Marine services ! ! Not good is it ? ? ?

I had an E-Tec 75 ( same physical lump as 90 ) on my Warrior. I was very pleased with it. Never had any trouble. It used to tick over smoothly. Good on fuel. But I believe there was a problem with the plastic casings on the early ones. ( O.K. now I believe ) When I changed over to my little Tiddler, I believed all the hyp and went for a Honda. Yes it's a very good engine. Smooth, quiet, economical on fuel. But Flaming Hell ! ! ! you have to have it serviced after 10 hours use ( just as well cos they'd built it with a gearbox seal the wrong way round and was taking in water ) then every 12 months after that even if it's hardly been used. £360 per year ! ! ! The E-Tec is every 3 years so if you're capable of a visual inspection in - between services that makes more sense ( to me ) If I was doing it again, I'd definitely go for the E-Tec. I'm no expert this is purely my opinion. Jim

Quote " future events and join those that like beer and wine! " Well I can't think of anyone like that ! - - - Can YOU Mr. Chairman ? ? ? And he didn't even mention the CAKES ! Jim

Happy Birthday Alun & Bob. Just looked out of my window. Fairly safe bet one of you will be out ! eh Alun ? Enjoy lads. Jim

Welcome Elliot. Very well done on convincing your wife that it would be a good idea. I hope I'm in time to warn you against using the line " well if I spend some money now and get a new one . . . . . . I won't need to spend anything for a long while " Cos it'll be repeated quite a few times when you want to buy gadgets y'know ! ! Anyway . . . . . Enjoy ! Jim

Brilliant Steve. Always entertaining. If you give up kitchens I can see your new career. Extreme Kayaking with Lofty ! Make a good TV show. ( and the money's better ) Jim

I have to keep youtube videos on my phone. With a combination of old age and not getting out much, I can never remember how to tie them. So I have to watch some instructions before giving them a go ! The wonders of modern technology ! ! Jim

Happy Birthday Steve. Bit of a Milestone eh ? Hope it's a good one. Jim

" Working from home" Indeed !
