How does it feel to be standing on the quayside watching the launch of your

Well done all you lot, I'm very jealous. I really wish I could have got down but I don't trust the back yet for launching and recovery and my crew is on holiday. Perhaps the weather will give me a decent day before I disappear for 3 or 4 weeks. Terry.

Yes, thank you, eye get it. Don't try to browbeat me, you're contributions are getting cornea. Terry.

A man is dining in a fancy restaurant and there is a gorgeous redhead sitting at the next table. He has been checking her out since he sat down, but lacks the nerve to talk with her. Suddenly she sneezes, and her glass eye comes flying out of its socket toward the man. He reflexively reaches out, grabs it out of the air, and hands it back. "Oh my, I am so sorry," the woman says as she pops her eye back in place. "Let me buy your dinner to make it up to you, "she says. They enjoy a wonderful dinner together, and afterwords they go to the theater followed by drinks. They talk, they laugh, she shares her deepest dreams and he shares his. She listens. After paying for everything, she asks him if he would like to come to her place for a nightcap and stay for breakfast. They had a wonderful, wonderful time. The next morning, she cooks a gourmet meal with all the trimmings. The guy is amazed. Everything had been SO incredible! "You know," he said, "you are the perfect woman. Are you this nice to every guy you meet?" "No," she replies. . . Here it comes, and I did warn you it was bad, "You just happened to catch my eye." Terry.

Can't really think of a better place for it. Terry.

..........but don't be so common as to do both at the same time! Happy birthday, Dan, and many of them. Terry.

Car parking? Terry.

Won't be long before the Iranians have one, courtesy of their assorted fleet of Shetlands and Fletchers. Terry.

If you use a good quarantine kennels, they can even organise the whole package for you. Terry.

Ah, yes but, unless it's a very good swimmer, you can't go fishing on it. Try to find quarantine kennels locally to yourself; this makes visiting much easier. Yellow pages should help. I know 2 or 3 here that I have used in the past for clients but that's a long'ish way from you. Terry.

If you're wrong, I know where you live! Remember, before making rash statements like this, you're dealing with desperate men. Terry.

Could Stainless Steve possibly oblige? Terry.

No, don't like that one, Mike, it's prediction for the next week is rubbish. Find a better one. Terry.

Sounds like an old girlfriend of mine but I'd better not answer your questions in case of litigation. Terry.

Put me down for the Gloaters section. Terry.

Just enjoyed a very acceptable roast lunch AND rhubard crumble with custard. Aren't daughters great! No news from the male sibling yet! I think for safety's sake, I'll stop holding my breath. Terry.

I bought mine 2 years ago in excellent condition with a lot of extra's and paid

I have a 165 with a 60hp Bigfoot of the same year and am more than happy with it. The 60 gives me about 26 knots, which for me is ample. If I was buying from new or replacing the engine, I think I woud go for a 75hp just to get me out of the hole a bit quicker, expecially with 2 big blokes or 3 people on board. Terry.

And that will be the last you see of your car. Mind, on the plus side, that will be one less to taxi around. Terry.

Another thing you'll find is that the length of a thread (frequently, quite an inocuous one) is inversely proportionate to the current weather's suitability for getting out and fishing. For example, at the moment it's cr@p! Terry.

So, who's the nominee for spawneygit@pbsbac.co.uk? Terry.

Sorry to sound stupid but, does one check ones emails on the PBSBAC site? BTW, can I please have plaicemat@pbsbac.co.uk. Thank you, Master. Terry.

Harry, the rod job is fairly straitforward and I feel sure you could do it yourself. If you want to come and have a look at mine and take measurements, I'm not a million miles away. Terry.

Another option, Mike, which I and many others have opted for is a rod fitting. The cable is changed for an adjustable, threaded and galvanised rod which does away with the internal corrosion problem with cables. And thanks Dave for the flush kit link, I've only just caught up with it. I think I feel a modification coming on. Terry.

If it's any help, Harry, I lost the rubber tip to my aerial at a petrol station in Wiltshire (en route to Oxon)after forgetting to put it down at the end of hostilities. I imagine is what you have done. I did exactly what you have considered and have found no change in performance of the radio. Terry. p.s. I'll look for yours if you look for mine.
