    Rockley Channel

    Looking at my track last time I came in, no wonder it was shallower than usual, apart from the shallow bit in the middle, the channel has moved.
  2. Charlie On my Samsung S3. To copy and paste text, I touch and hold the screen and two markers appear, Drag these to select the text I want, A Copy icon appears at the top of the screen which copies to the clipboard Start new email or whatever. Touch and hold screen and Paste icon appears.
  3. Just downloaded an update to my Navionics Gold chart. Rockley Channel looks a bit different now.
  4. My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have Sex?' 'No,' she answered. I then said, 'Is that your final answer?' ... She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..' So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend." And that's when the fight started.. I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first. "I'll have the rump steak, rare, please." He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?" "Nah, she can order for herself." And that's when the fight started..... My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table. I asked her, "Do you know him?" "Yes", she sighed, "He's my old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober since." "My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?" And then the fight started. When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat, making beer.. Always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway." The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp. My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, "What's on TV?" I said, "Dust." And then the fight started. Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the van and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day. I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back; now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible." My loving wife of 5 years replied, "And, can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?" And that's how the fight started. My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds." I bought her a bathroom scale. And then the fight started. After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability too.' And then the fight started. My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy with what she saw and said to me, "I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.' I replied, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect." And then the fight started. I rear-ended a car this morning...the start of a REALLY bad day! The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF!! He looked up at me and said 'I am NOT Happy!' So I said, 'Well, which one ARE you then?' That's how the fight started. One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift... The next year, I didn't buy her a gift. When she asked me why, I replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!" And that's how the fight started.
  5. The Importance of a space! A secretary got an expensive pen as a gift from her boss. She sent him a 'Thank you note' by email. Bosses wife read the email and filed for divorce. The email says: "Your penis wonderful. I enjoyed using it last night. It has extra ordinary smooth flow, and a firm stroke. Initially its tip had to be licked to bring it to working order. I loved its perfect size and grip. Felt like I was in heaven when using it. I've always desired it and you fulfilled my wish. Thanks a lot" Moral: A "space" is an essential part in English
  6. Something to give you a smile whilst waiting for the weather to improve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv2fVaHSISw&feature=youtube_gdata_player

People start arriving from about 19:30 for a 20:00 start. Cheers Brian brunyard@Hotmail.com
  8. Happy birthday guys.
  9. Hope you get it sorted without any hassle.
  10. Happy Birthday George.
  11. That worked. Thanks Paul. Have a good Christmas.
  12. Hi Paul I've had the problem for a few weeks, just assumed it was something to do with my settings. So reinstalled IE then discovered others were in the same boat. If I press the "Quote" button, nothing happens, likewise no matter how I try to paste (Clicking on the "Icon" at the top of the reply window, "Ctrl V", "Shift Insert", or right click and Paste). If I close IE and open Google Chrome everything works fine.
  13. I've also found I can't "Quote" anyone, I assume this is linked to the Paste problem.

    boxing day

    I think you may need to cross more than your fingers. :rolleyes:
  15. Anyone else having a problem pasting text, links etc. into posts on the forum using IE11.? It used to work ok, but recently I can't. I have no problems in any other site, or from Google Chrome.
  16. Throw away all the electronic fishfinders, here's the foolproof answer.
  17. Just the thing for Christmas.
