It's at the end of the Channel entrance to the harbour. Straight out past the chain ferry. Someone will be more precise. I think it's undulates on the left and Blondes on the right ? ? ? ? Or something like that.

Cheers Rob. Let me know and I'll nip over anytime to suit you. You say you have a few? If you don't want them could I be really cheeky & take a couple? I need to run some old software for the CNC and no harm in keeping a spare. Thanks. Jim

Anyone got an old Windows 7 32bit computer lying around that's no longer needed? I'll come & collect if local to Poole. And I'll clear any info from drives so no need to worry about that. Or a Win XP system. Ta. Jim

Good job you could start a fire to keep warm ! 😜

Sounds great. I just remembered . .. . . . . . This is your annual get together with friends. What gorgeous weather for it !

Before I put it on Fleabay : Mavic Air 2s fly more combo This is new and unused. I won it a few weeks ago and I've never flown it. I have switched it on and updated the firmware but that's all. It's surplus to my requirements so I'm selling. As there will be no selling fees or postage on here I'll sell for £935.00 They are £1,169.00 in the shops. 5.4K Video. 20mp photos. This is a very high spec machine. https://www.jessops.com/c/p/new/dji/air-2s?gclid=Cj0KCQjwxdSHBhCdARIsAG6zhlVXhRpe2Ce84MD5Z3jtyAFlPzoa_bEryaZFj8fnJt_IoK6jSrSu7vwaAjsiEALw_wcB https://www.amazon.co.uk/DJI-Air-Fly-More-Combo/dp/B08YR48SZ1/ref=asc_df_B08YR48SZ1/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=499390359581&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1590214892817129911&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9044978&hvtargid=pla-1235055521713&psc=1&th=1&psc=1 Jim

I think it's quite normal for wives to do that. I've heard that it's the Pheromones. Whatever it is . . . . . it works. I'd like to be able to bottle it and sell it.

Ditto what they said !

Have you tried hanging your line over the side and reading a book? It works wonders for Jackie !

Happy Birthday Mick & Carl.

Happy Birthday Dan Have an extra slice of cake and maybe a beer or two. Jim

Far too busy Mick! Have a good un!

Beauty ! Nice one Kev.

I think my best bet would be to hire a van with a tail lift. They can lift it on and I'll unpack & lift off at home. Sorted! Still looking a prices, specs & extras. Then there's VAT & import duty etc. etc. Boys & their toys eh ! ! ! !

Wow! Great fish Steve.

Just a Forum member then by the sounds of it. Welcome to the Forum Jon. Jim

Thanks Neil, I have a Tow hitch and trailer. I'll check sizes tomorrow but I think it will fit in the trailer. ( It's not a Halfords cheapo job) Still a long way off ordering and getting it here. I mentioned it to the accounts dept ( Jackie) I'm still alive so that's good but I've not had the magic nod yet. Steve says it's better to beg for forgiveness than permission but I'm not convinced. 🤪 And I have a healthy selection of ex wives who would agree.

Thank you all very much for your help I really do appreciate it. 🙂 Thinking more & more about shifting it I'm now looking at a less bulky machine. I need to check the actual size and weight but with Brian's hoist and my trailer I may just about be able to shift it myself ( with help of course) It is the same machining size but a desktop version. I'm hoping it will squeeze into my trailer. 🙂 More like this:

Thanks all I really appreciate the feedback. Thinking of buying a bigger CNC router. Very expensive over here. Still expensive but less so if I go direct. Still researching which brand / company to buy from. No wheels and about 350kg once out of the packaging. I have a trailer but a bit small. Needs to be something that can lift it onto my drive. I have a trolley that I'm hoping will take the weight to move it to my garage. Still looking at options and this is one of them. This sort of thing.

Ah! The joys of retirement eh Brian. Why do people think they need to find things to keep us occupied ? ? ? ?

Hi all, Before I go down the route of searching the internet . . . . . I'm thinking of importing something from China. I can get it delivered to Southampton Docks but then I need it delivered to my house. It will be a crate 1,600mm X 1,300mm x 1,700mm high and weighing 400kg. I'm not after a freebie but wondered if anyone knew someone with experience of this who could do the job at a fair price without ripping me off! Anyone know anybody please? ? ? Ta. Jim

Lovely grin there Steve. She's really enjoying that!

Last I remember Graham: After selling your boat you bought a Kayak you could stand up in and talking about adding an engine I think?

Welcome Back Graham. My Dad had a boat at Redcliffe for years and as you say: It's a bit of a Jaunt. As long as you're OK for time it's very pleasant too. We usually manage a trip up to Wareham in Tiddler at least once a year. We tend to go under the bridge and up as far as the bypass too. Don't go at low tide though. Jim
