    Buying Small Boat

    If you can get hold of a compression gauge, do a compression test. Find out what compression the cylinder meant to be brand new, anything within 85-90% is ok, more the better. Get hold of the leg and rock it forth and back, if play is excessive, leave well alone, as it can be expensive to replace the bushes.
  4. Maths made easy with Manchester United From The Official MUFC Maths Workbook, which covers sums for practising Key Stage Two maths for 7-11 year olds. This has been introduced as part of the Government's maths campaign. 1. Roy is 78 yards away from the referee at Old Trafford and Gary is 65 yards away. If Roy can run at 21mph and Gary can run at 16mph, who will be sticking their vein-bulging forehead into the hapless whistler's face first, assuming Roy does not stop to stamp on an opponent on his way. 2. If one minute of time is taken up in a game for substitutions and one minute for injuries, how much injury time will be added on by the referee if Man Utd are losing at home? 3. Ryan is a Welshman. Express, as a percentage, the number of internationals he has missed on a Wednesday evening compared to the miraculous recoveries he made for the following Saturday. 4. Manchester United are one of the giants of world club football. How many more European Cup Finals have they appeared in than Steaua Bucharest? (For one extra mark; How many more than Reims?) 4a. How many more times have Manchester United won the European Cup than Nottingham Forest? 5. Phil Neville has 30 international caps. If you take away the number of appearances when he was the only adult male in England who could just about kick the ball with his left foot, how many are left? 6. You are the referee at Old Trafford. How near to a visiting defender does a tumbling Ruud van Nistelrooy have to be to earn a penalty if he goes down in the box? (Note: Round your answers down to the nearest 20 yards.) 6a. Probability. Express the statistical probability of visitors to Old Trafford being awarded a penalty. Compare this with the probability of opponents of Manchester United being awarded a penalty home or away, and then discuss if a penalty awarded to Manchester United would be awarded to their opponents in identical circumstances. 7. Mark "The Red" lives in Guildford. How much does it cost for him and his two sons to travel to the Theatre of Silence every other weekend, including limited edition matchday programme, a few drinks and prawn sandwiches all round? How much could he save per week if he watched his local team instead? (Note: Round your answers down to the nearest thousand pounds). 8. Alex had a hotel room booked in Glasgow for the Champions League Final. How much money did he lose when cancelling his reservation? 9. Ruud is 6ft tall and very strong and fast. How much pressure need be applied to make him tumble over in the opponents penalty area? (Note: Answers must be in lbs per square inch. However, answers such as, 'However much pressure is applied by Ferguson to referees' are accepted.) 10. Alex has won it 1 time, Bob has won it 4. Alex has one, Bob does not. What am talking about? Explain your answer (because nobody else can). 11. Juan is a very lazy boy and often goes missing. Alex is very cross and wants to sells him. If Juan cost

    Hi Spurdog

    Welcome, Spurdog. Have fun and enjoy.
  7. Funnily enough, I'd just had a customer who came in looking pretty burnt, so I asked him what he's been up to? He said he just got back from fishing, sea fishing from his boat. We chatted for about 10 mins, he had a good day, 9 breams and most of them 2.5lb +. Apparently he was out on Christchurch ledge and he has a 175 with 2*50hp.

    Mindow media player plays it no prob. Just right click, 'save target as', then open it using either Media player or Realone player. FYO, it's a pi55 take of the C2 commerial you see on TV.
  10. You're not suggesting our Rich is gonna take both the seats......?!
  11. It's considered 'nice' to bring along a pair of waders, ready to launch the boat while the owner reversed the boat down the slipway. Beside there are lots of work involve when launching a boat. Unstripping the stripes, removing the lighting board, take prop bag off, load up the boat with tackles (not just your own ).

    Buying Small Boat

    Why don't to sign up here? Bunch of funny guys (and gals). I think you ought to decide what budget you have and then what sort of boat you can have for that price range. Go to boats and outboards and see what are on offer.
  15. I know what a spitter is .....
  16. Still don't get it?! Can somesone explain the joke to me please.
  17. I've a Navman 7100 DSC and just fitted a 5600 plotter but they don't 'talk' to each other, even tho I've wired them up to a diagram I got from Navman. I'll have a look at the handbook to see if I have to 'switch' on the talking mode in the plotter. Anuone else have a 5000 series plotter and how did you make your's talk to the dsc?

    Honking

    Half an onion also works a treat, although there will be the smell of the onion but I guess that's better than fish.
  19. He's booked on the day we want to go. Choices are down to Electric Blue, Becky M, and someone else I can't remember the name.
  20. I usually out go with John Skeggs on Tomcats but this time we have a party of 7, so can't use his boat. Anyone of the skippers on the Deepsea site better than the rest? Thanks
  21. We use it to fish..... .... .... hats out of the sea when get blown away by the wind.....
