Well Phil being Phil decided the other day to take his springer out to play complete with his newly built barge,so off he went batts fully charged waders in the boot just in case of an eventuality.
Now Phil was really looking forward to his days sail so off he went and after a drive of well over ran hour he arrived at the lake,oh goodie he says to himself no other cars here I will have the whole lake to myself.So off Phil wanders to have a look at they lake ,well you see there was a slight problem theere was no water in it {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-)
Moral of this tale Phil is give the local club a ring to see if the lake has been DRAINED or not
Stavros.......OH Phil I have not stopped laughing
-
that must have been a look to die for when he saw the lake was empty!
-
I am appalled at the callous way you two have extracted the micky out of poor old Phil. >>:-( >>:-( >>:-(
Poor guy must have been gutted.. >>:-( >>:-( :-) :-) %) %) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-)
Oops......Sorry Phil.......but it is funny.... %% %% %%

Maybe we should refer to him in future as Steamboat Filled.
I'll bet there's at least one other member who's done the same thing, though.

Theres always some water here at Stevenage Phil. Bring you own blow touch to melt the ICE which is about 1" thick this morn.
-
Phil, don't worry, buddy - you're not on your own. A similar thing happened when I drove all the way to Tiverton model emporium. I got there to find it closed... because it was Sunday.

He who never made a mistake never made anything!!!!!!!!

Well that will teach me to mention in passing such woes to Stavros, the thing is, I did the thing that we all do when the car breaks down, just stare under the bonnet as if by will power the thing will start. Well I did the same thing at the pond, I stared at, walked around it, stared some more, tried to callculate if the 3 frozen inches in the centre were enough for run--they weren't. So do I fit wheels to my springer, or wait for the nice people to fill the nice pond at Hove {:-{
Or take by blowlamp up to Stevenage---------

Tug Kenny has wheels on his Wavespring Springer - you could borrow that!

I bet he drove away from there feeling all empty inside.
And his enthusiasm drained ;)

But he was boiling in frustration

But it was no good getting "steamed up" about it .... (wince) :embarrassed:
-
I bet he felt a DRIP. :embarrassed:
-
Of course he didnt, no water :}

i think we need to buy him a hose pipe so he can fill the lake next time
-
Phil, camp by the lake and let the yellow river fill the pond, take plenty to drink .

Good thinking Damien, problem is with what I drink, the lake will have bubbles on it {-) {-) {-)
