I will ask that same question of me {-)
I took the spanner out ! yes I relented yet again and let her sit in the car next to me while I endeavoured to deliver her to a place of happiness (for both of us actually)
While said spanner was in the throws of orgasmic delights (buying shoes) I took the time to slide off UN noticed to the model shop a few doors down.
Speed controller, patch leads, anchor chains and anchors obtained and gleefully looked upon I returned to spanner whom still in the Ecstasy of leather on skin smiled and called me 'love'
When asked as to what I had done I casually said "Oh just got a few small bits for my tugs" this was met with the retort of 'O, OK' then 'did you get everything you wanted'
Was that a missed chance to run back into Anglia Models and buy LOADS OF BOATS & BITS? I think not but I am happy with my lot today....

And what would those bits be for, then Burtie ????

I've been fighting a hard drive that lets me see the data but refuses to relinquish it despite 8 hours of swearing,
threats, gesticulation's and bribes...

I have been fighting with all day with an Insurance Company that insist I fit a Thatcham Aproved Alarm/Immobiliser and a TRACKER in my wifes 9 yr old Hyundai Coupe.
The cost of these is more than the car is worth, and it has been insured for the last 9 years.
Yes and I mean ALL day!!

Change the company Bob?
-
erm,
I have told anyone that would listen in the company EXACTLY what I thought of them.
It just leaves my missus without insurance cover so I will have to drive her to work until I get another company sorted out and wait 8 working days to get my money back!!

Purchased a Burco 20ltr gas water boiler to ensure plenty of tea and coffee for Mayhem Llanberis (and future Mayhem events Martin) put sticker on said boiler, therefore making it a company asset, therefore making it tax deducable---
Oh and did some work !!!

Martin, did you try a large hammer? works for me and this b!%£"$*@ new router Sky have sent me.
I went boating, and played with my Hellcat. And got wet. And incredibly sweaty. And ate too many mint imperials.
And now I'm fat....

Trying to sort out the car and a claim against the gas (Petrol) Station for serving me something OTHER than Gasoline (Petrol) on Tuesday
Gas (Petrol) shouldnt look like TEA! >>:-( >>:-( >>:-(

Slept from 0800 to 1200, walked the dog, did a bit on the hydrofoil refurb, had tea and came to work at 1830 - oh the joys of nightshift.
-
Walked the dog; cut part of a hedge; strained my shoulder; had a swim; finished reading a book; sat in the sun; slept in the sun; had another swim; had a couple of glasses of a dry white wine by the pool; walked the dog (again); ate dinner; drank a good bottle of Madiran; watched an interesting programme about Laurie Lee's travels; slept like a baby with the air con. on full blast.
It's a hard life but.......
Roger in France.

After all that, you had better have a restful day today Roger and take it easy !!!!!
-
That was one of his RESTFUL days {-)

Well AS its my Birthday I is going out to NORWICH well according to spanner that is! >:(
Now I know that she is not in need of shoes (or is that part never satisfied) I have been informed that I will be taken into HMV ?
We have Wii etc etc and I have enough music so what could she want on MY birthday?
There is a MODEL shop or two in the city (yes Norwich is supposed to be a city) so I may get to drop in and get some MORE STUFF O0 O0
Though I would have liked to spend today on the tugs and change the livery so they are both the same.. (now which to paint?)
Venture is easiest! Tito ? choices choices choices

Any of them still stock boating bits? My nearest decent one (Watton) used to but has stopped now. I don't often go into the "big city", but might make the effort - at least its free with the bus pass!
Rick - in deepest, darkest Norfolk

Hi RickF,
Not sure on the stock that the shops have in Norwich, like you dont get there often but park n ride is the only way for me.
I would think that they should still cater for the wet boys NMBC is not that far away and from thier site they are quite a large club.
Sorry dont get there LMBC is only half a mile away.
I will see what I can find (spanner permitting, and so far from the size of the handbag I think I may be in for a week of shopping centers) ARRRGH shoot me now

Phoned up a model shop and ordered one of these. http://www.modelslipway.com/sentinel.htm Now I am financially embarrassed for a while but it will give me something to do when on holiday in the Costa Lochaber, rain almost guaranteed.

Hi All,
Just thought I would show what I did today.
Went to my local, Lowestoft Model Boat Club regatta carnival, so here are a few pictures.
-
And a few more.
I came second in the steering comp even though I did the whole course in reverse (no I went the correct way round but I drove the tug backwards the full distance)
-
Oops left out one or two,
I seem to have a small up load problem with a couple so for now I will leave them out (sorry)
