Gosh, what an exciting life you live...

Is everyone going to live and work at either end of HS2 track? Otherwise the commuting to the ends is more wasteful in time and energy than any saving HS2 could make.

I thought I would start a list of dog friendly pubs that are either by the waterside or within a short and easy walk of moorings. Please feel free to add any of yours to the list. So for starters I will add: The White Swan, Torksey, Fossdyke The Anglers, Saxilby, Fossdyke The Sun Inn, Saxilby, Fossdyke The Pavilion, Saxilby, Fossdyke The Pyewipe Inn, Lincoln, Fossdyke Royal William, Lincoln, Fossdyke The Treaty of Commerce, Lincoln, Fossdyke The Rogue Saint, Lincoln, Fossdyke The Magna Carta, Lincoln, Fossdyke The Ferry Boat, Washingborough, River Witham Hunters Leap, Washingborough, River Witham The Thywritt Arms, Short Ferry, River Witham Riverside, Southrey, River Witham The Packet Inn, Dogdyke, River Witham The Witham Tavern, Boston, River Witham The Little Peacock, Boston, River Witham Ferry Boat Inn, Church Laneham, River Trent Brownlow Arms, High Marnham, River Trent The White Hart, West Stockwith, Chesterfield Canal Waterfront, West Stockwith, Chesterfield Canal West Stockwith yacht club, West Stockwith, Chesterfield Canal Red Hart, Misterton, Chesterfield Canal

Once again the fallacy surfaces that HS2 is simply a connection between London and Birmingham. EVERY city north of Birmingham will also benefit from faster trains using the new line as will EVERY community on the WCML south of Birminham having room on the classic lines for better services as will EVERY motorist on the M1 seeing less HGVs, much freight having been transferred from road onto the classic lines.

I agree - the role played by Medusa is out of all proportion to its small size! Imagine the grandstand view she had while the invasion fleet steamed past and thank goodness that the visibility stayed reasonably clear, otherwise there might have been a different outcome. Another small vessel that played a key role was a midget submarine - an X craft normally manned by a crew of 5 but with a couple more for this event. She acted as a radio beacon in the approach lane to a forward position off the beaches and went across to be ready initially for the planned date of 5th June. When this date was postponed for 24 hours, she submerged and spent the time sitting on the sea bed just off the beaches. Brave men, and we owe them a debt of gratitude which we should never forget.

There is a world of difference between two blokes abusing each other and a moderator posting a photo of their motorbike albeit a Yamaha

Earlier this year we decided to continue with our "Eastern European Ring". We started this ring in 2011 with a cruise from the Baltic to the Black Sea via the River Volga. This year we extended it by taking a cruise from the North Sea to the Black Sea by way of the River Rhine, the River Main, the Main-Danube Canal, and the River Danube. Passing through 8 countries in 3 weeks, it was an amazing trip; I've finally sorted through all of the photos and posted a report of this epic voyage on our website. I hope you enjoy reading it - and do have a look at the fascinating movie clips of the mechanical instruments and the Hungarian Horsemen. Now we just need to complete the ring, by cruising across the Baltic ...

And the captain is apparently doing a Novichok stock take whilst reading about Salisbury Cathedral on Wikipedia

The crew are apparently stood on the front deck playing with Drone controllers. ....

We need to be careful to avoid censure for thread drift, so just to bring the thread back on topic, apparently the warning points are falling like snowflakes tonight.

And good luck with anything in East Anglia - Fens, Nene, Witham etc - where rivers move all over the place, and change their names, either due to nature or to human intervention!
