  2. Brave words.
  3. I never had a problem with them, they did the servicing on my DF70 while it was in warranty. They appeared quite sensible, the book says "Initial service 1 month or 20 hours", but they told me 3 months or 20 hours. Worth having a chat with Paul, the boss.
  4. Thanks Jim, I don't suppose you could put in a lot of overtime, then I might get a rise. :)
  5. It was a late start for MegaByte, we reached the Swash and started fishing about 11:00. Baited spoons and tried a drift close in to the Training Bank, First plaice after 10 minutes, then another. They just kept on coming at regular intervals until we packed in at 15:00, back at Rockley at 15:30, just too late for a lift out. (Last lift 15:30). We kept 10 between the two of us smallest 1lb 8oz, largest to me at 2lb 1oz. We put a couple back, lost some and missed some. I lost a cracker at the side of the boat, before my mate could get the net to it. We were shadowed by another boat for the last couple of hours, they'd seen us catching and must have decided to see how close they could drift to us. I had to take evasive action a couple of times (he was bigger than me), the only consolation was, they only managed one small Gurnard, although they had to ask us what it was.
  6. Congratulations George.
  7. I'll be out from Poole for a few hours tomorrow, trying for some plaice.

    The Haircut

    The Haircut... Blessed are those that can give without remembering, and take without forgetting. One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door. Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The cop was happy and left the shop. The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you ' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door. Then a Member of Parliament came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill , the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week. 'The Member of Parliament was very happy and left the shop. The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen Members of Parliament lined up waiting for a free haircut. And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.

  22. Glad you found the problem.
  23. I'd check the fuel pickup in the new tank, I've known a new tank where the fuel pickup pipe wasn't connected properly and was drawing in air. Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk

    The truth hurts

    Lawyers should never ask a Georgia grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer. In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness. A grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, Mrs. Jones, do you know me? She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you. The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?' She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.' The defense attorney nearly died. The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said, 'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair
  25. The Queen is in Glasgow and she bumped into Alex Salmond. HMtQ: How nice to see you Mr Salmond. AS: Nice to see you Ma’am. Now, what are we going to call Scotland when we win Independence ? How about calling it a Kingdom, and then I’ll be a King? HMtQ: No, we don’t like that. AS: Empire, and I'll be Emperor? HMtQ: No. AS: All right, so how about calling it a Principality, and then I’ll be a Prince? HMtQ: No, Mr Salmond, I suggest we call it a Country and you can carry on as you are.
