I use a big plank when I trail the boat. But enough about Rob! :D

One of Mick's Tubes. Don't be fooled. These are not the same as the cheap & Nasties on ebay. Jim

We could get a song ready for Red Nose Day: " Fishin all day " by the Singing Propellers ! Jim

I had never heard of this. Just googled it. It looks very interesting. Hope it works well for you. Jim

Muckle Flugga ? Sounds like summat out of Harry Potter ! Cracking fish. Good eating too !

Have you always had an eye for fast women Rob ? ? ? There's a lot of work involved in modelling them Rob but at least I can see what they're gonna look like before paying someone to fabricate real ones. I think I've settled on a design now. I just need to finish modelling it and then produce the fabrication drawings. Jim

That looks terrible Brian. Hope it gets resolved soon. Jim

I forgot, We're supposed to be buiding a car port. So tubes will have to go underneath. I may need to hinge them. Oh well - - - - - Back to the drawing board - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Yes Brian, you're right. Jacqui and me have been trying lots of different adaptations this afternoon. She said I just need the barbed wire. " It looks like a fence " We've currently got 7 tubes, Higher in the middle and lower at the sides. The rear legs have been moved behind two of the tubes to " dissappear " them. I'm also going to try them all on one side ( front or back ) instead of being staggered. Jim PS : Mick, I had one of your finished tubes in my hand yesterday. Tony's been let down by a supplier but should get it sorted soon.

And from the side - - ish - -- - - - - I'll get the fabrication drawings sorted over the next few days and get them ordered ready for the warm weather. Jim Any comments gents ? ? ?

Now these ones I like ! !

Sounds like a great Idea Paul. I hated it to start with. But it's growing on me But like Charlie and probably many others, I would like some demos. Please explain slowly for us " Codgers " Thankee Kindly sir. Jim

Thanks Charlie. I don't think the vision will be a problem though. I stand taller than the tubes. But I agree with the Top heavy view. I'll try and have another go tonight. I have more ideas to try. I've just thought how I can keep the nine with larger spacing - - - - - - - - - - - - Jim

Thanks for the humour and help lads. 2 blokes x 3 rods = 6 tubes 1 black ball 1 Landing net ( yes I hope I'll need one ) 1 freshly filled chicken baguette each - - - - - - - Seriously though, I need at least 6 to 8. It doesn't look right with the 9 though. I'll try re-spacing them with 8 or 7 or 6 and see how they look. I want to get it right before placing the order for manufacture. Jim

Well I've finally made a start on Tiddler's Tubes. Not too keen on these. Whad'ya reckon ? Jim

That IS stable. ! ! What size engine will it take ? ? ? ?

We COULD just get an ITALIAN to skipper ( or is that scupper ) it. They sink ships for a pastime ! ! Jim

Just googled that Allan. Gorgeous ! Jeanneau do make a first class product. Well done. Jim

Lofty's got his sail. He could tow it ! All we need is a local sympathetic millionaire ! Do we know any ? Oh well - - - no harm in dreaming.

Seriously, are we ( the club ) making any enquiries ? What's the rules for sinking a ship in the bay ? What sort of Dosh would they be looking for ? Could funds be scrounged ? - - - claimed from lottery ? ? - - - raised ? ? Jim

Grumpy old git Thanks Dad !

Call me a Grumpy Old Git, But I neither have, nor want a Facebook account.

So. The next time you see a Bobby - - - - Wish him a good day and be proud of the good old english Bobby. Jim

Yeah ! They sold Rover for

Just mounting a couple of rod holders. doh!! Yeah all right ! ! ! Take the mickey if ya wanna. Having been to your garage Brian, and seen some of your great tinkerings - - I was curious. Never mind. Jim
