Then I would have been in a proper mess Charlie.

As ever, Tim puts on a good prize table. Here he is doing his stuff. Lets have more people in it next year and the prizes will be much bigger. Jim

Kev and Myself tried all day but not a sniff ! ! ! Never mind - - lovely weather and I think the Banter was good although I couldn't understand most of it ! ! !

Sorry for the delay - - - I broke my poota ! Here's a very happy Mr. Evans. He knows he's in with a chance of winning with this little belter ! He also knows that that this is probably his last fishing trip on Wight Magic and the Old Girl's done him proud. Well done Dave.

You've done an awful lot of work there Charlie. I loved the video. Jim

Is she sorted now Martin ? Probably lack of use. I keep running Tiddler up in the garden cos I'm not getting out. Ah well - - - - soon be spring. Jim

Wow. Just googled that one.

Hi Martin, Sorry you could'nt make it. Get your wounds ready - - - - - - cos I'm gonna rub some salt in. - - - - - - Both you & Dean would have won in the prize table if you'd been there. There ! that's made you feel better ! !. Never mind- - - you'll be out again soon. jim

Chris: secrets? What secrets ? Kev: I'm bringing my universal translator so i've got some idea of what you're on about. Failing that - - - I'll just use my ear plugs. Jim

Just had a call from Dave ( wm ) I'm out with him & Kev tomorrow so Tiddler's not going out after all. Thanks big Dave. I said I'd buy you a drink so i'll bring some Horlicks.

Just been down to register. I need crew or i cant enter. Any takers ? Jim

Just looked at the weather Alun. Where's all that crap weather gone ? Oh go on then - - - - The Tiddler's gonna be brave ! I'll take her out. Do I need to bring a wheel barrow for all my prizes ? The offer's back on if anyone fancies a look at how Tiddler performs. Jim

Should take them around to Oli - - - - - - - - - - - - His boat's gonna cost a BOMB !

Tiddler's changed her mind. She's not keen on this weather. Anyone got a space for a little sylph-like fella ? Jim

I think Tiddler needs a bit of a run. I have a space if anyone fancies flattie bashing ( assuming the weather doesn't take a turn for the worse ) Jim

What does the other end look like ? How much bigger is the hole in the housing than the one in the bearing ?

Sorry Jamie. It works for aluminium.

Hi Jamie, That looks like Bronze to me. So if it's a bronze fitting and a steel bearing, stick it on a baking tray in your wife's nice clean oven with the open end down. The bronze will expand more than the steel. When it get's hot the bearing should fall out. ( I hope ) - - I used this method for removing the main bearings from my old Triumph motorbikes ( many years ago ) Jim

Happy Birthday Jon. Jim

Welcome back Dan. Reminds me of the old joke - - - - Where's ya Bin ? No ! Where's ya Wheelie Bin. Tight lines. Jim

Brian ! You're a secret Teenager in disguise ! ! And a VERY GOOD disguise it is too. Jim

Hi Tony, I don't see it as a problem. Jim

Happy Birthday Gordon. Not seen you in ages. Hope all's well. Jim
