Happy Birthday Adam. We don't hear much from you these days. Have you still got the Pilot 4 ? Have you been out much? Weather's not been great, although this morning looks OK. Hope you're enjoying your Birthday. Jim

Looks like you were educated in the Dave Evans school of ( Get lots of screens - - - - - and make em BIG UNS ! ) What a fantastic job you're making of it Adam ! Jim

Happy Birthday Charlie & Dave. One of the main reasons for having sons is so they can buy the beer on your Birthday. Make them dig deep lads ! Fill your boots ! ! ! And then have an extra slice of cake. Jim

Blue band around the engine ? I had one of those. It used to start and run fine for a while then it would stop and not start again. Next day it would start and run fine again ( for a while ) My Brother had a 90 horse blue band merc. - - - - - did exactly the flipping same. If you're not some sort of expert with a garage full of bits, my view is sell it for bits. Jim

Nope! Already on a death threat after the Gadget show a couple of weeks ago !

In Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaath? You probably need some of this then matey ! ! ! At least you'll be clean for the DO tomorrow ! A very Happy Birthday to you Chris. Jim

Happy Birthday Kam. Hope you wangled the day off work. The weather's been prety good. Did you manage to get out and try for a few fish ? Jim

Welcome Nick. Are you and Ollie what people mean when they say " Look at these Bad Boys " ? ? Cheers. Jim

Scary goings on ! !

Thank you all very much for the Birthday wishes. Brought a tear of joy to an old man's heart. Not had any beer. I've got my grandkids here so no work and plenty of CAKES ! Not worrying about the waistline this week. Plenty of time for worrying next week. Cheers lads. Jim

Brought the Grandkids down to watch but had to go into work first so we were late and missed it Very well done Steve. Jim

I've got some paste that dissolves rust. You're welcome to a " dab " of it Graham. May prove difficult though. It needs to be able to get at it to work. You're welcome to try though. Jim

Bugger ! Missed this. Oh well ! Have a good day Nige ! Jim

Ditto to that. Happy Birthday all ! Jim

They never give ME a discount ! I always ask but nothing doing. I think it's that word " marine " It always seems to make the price go higher ! ! !

Happy Birthday Adam. Taking the day off work & boat and going for cakes with the family ? ? ? Enjoy ! Jim

Happy Birthday Fred.

You know how you start to read something and your mind races ahead and thinks it knows what's coming ? I saw Stripers - - - - - - - thought it was Strippers and my mind started boggling at what use they would have for more than one fish - - - - - - - - if any at all ! Silly old Duffer ! ! !

Well, I might as well sell Tiddler then ! Only 3 Bass per trip ? - - - - - - - - - - - - I've caught ONE BASS in the last 4 YEARS ! I don't catch them. I just feed them ! ! Oh well I'll just have to improve so I can REACH my quota ! How much have the commercials been reduced by ? And yes, I do agree we need to get it sorted. There's lots of people out there without jobs. Maybe they should be trained and boats and equipment provided to police this rather than being paid to do nothing ? ? ? I'm paying enough in taxes ! ! Jim

Well that's a shocker ! I know how passionate Paul is about this subject. Please pass on our best wishes and wish him well. Welcome Martin. Jim

Well done Nige.

Happy Birthday Ben. Two Birthdays today then ? ( look at the list ) You'll soon be as old as Martin ! What a cracking day ! Are you testing the new boat ? Jim

Happy Birthday Matt. Jim

Strike while the iron's hot eh Ben. Well done. Jim

Happy birthday Dan. Not seen you for ages. Have an extra pint ! - - - - it's ok your Dad's paying. Jim
