Spacebar

What ''others'' would that be then ? Adults make families and are part of them jokes or no jokes. I cant imagine many young kids reading a boring old boat forum and if they are why are their ''adult'' parents not keeping an eye on them. Kids hear all sorts in the real world from f ings to the jeffings.

To be fair though houses dont cost between 10k and 70k especially if they are in a postcode area where a house will cost 500k either. Some dry docks will let you stay aboard. If its your home where else would you stay anyway? But if for any reason your engine decides to have the day/week/month off you will wish you bought that generator while you wait for someone who is supposed to know what they are doing fix it.

Im no expert on canal type business Jane so what I say is just an idea as I know how it can feel when a plan just dos'nt quiet come together despite ticking all the boxes in your head talking to loads of people but then unexpected ones just pop up with their seemingly unreasonable objections! I would say steer well clear of visitor moorings though. As for someone asking where do all these visitors park when they turn up? I would dare say probably where they park when they come and walk their dog every day or when they come for their jog,walk ect! Would it not be possible to do a rolling trade where folks could step on and off. Although I know you are not supposed to stop and cause congestion you could for example just be stopping to pick someone up. People like boat trips why not have a latte and go for a spin? In every town there seems to be loads if not too many takeaways but they all seem to be there. I remember a late train which had a little band on it and everyone would get on and bring a drink. Perhaps you could advertise a similar thing where you are doing a trip but stopping along the way picking folks up dropping them off ect but in the process getting passing custom. But just remember the peace that people have come onto the canals for in the 1st place. I think getting it right and blending in is also very important, Whatever you decide to do good luck. I always seem to fancy a cup of tea when we go walking down canal never anywhere to get one though.

What budget do yo have in mind for your boat? If its any help we had a quote for a new bottom on a 39 footer for 3k but because of the extent of internal refit needed and the cost of the boat left it. A friend of ours bought a 40 footer that had pits in the side near the bow down to 1mm and some 3mm so the surveyor suggested some patch plates. As it was half under water and half above they had the plates done and any suspect pitting was filled with weld. The boat was a 10k boat with a grp top that leaked which was sorted out and the patch plates and pitting was done in with the price. Since then they have had a new steel cabin fitted. Looking back my thoughts are wait a little longer and try to avoid boats that need such work and save some more money.

It must be specific to a certain kind of music perhaps. It makes perfect sense to me and yes IM drummer and Piano player. Little old thick me. It depends on what you consider important in life. If you think correct capitalisation is imortant to communicate with some of the retards on here then go for it.

If you think Dave has the right to go round slapping things without consequence and IM an unpleasant individual because I dont tolerate shite from people who stamp all over someone for wanting a guard dog then you can assume to your hearts content I couldnt give a toss what picture you see. I dont know where you are based but you will find it very difficult to speak to many boaters over in Ashton and the surrounding area up to bugsworth basin in the real world who feel a great deal of Love for Dave apart from his little band of internet chums. So you keep your scores with or without little black dashes facts or opinions blah d blah.

Jeez. Ive been a musician for ever 20 years must have missed that one.

''A drummer giving advice about amplifiers'' Why would that be so hard for you to understand? Our drummer studied sound engineering and music production at uni.

Oh dear dear me. SORT as in how the postman sorts the letters into his little pigeon holes you goons. So in relation (sorting opinons and facts)

You sort to dictate about opinion and facts while doing so you did it incorrectly. I gave you the mutual respect. Frankly I couldnt care less about little black dashes and spelling as you can more than adequately understand every word I type. I gained exactly what I wanted to gain and you supplied it gloriously as usual.

Why do you want me to join your armadildo click?

Well when you have finished looking in the mirror at yourself feel free to reply/troll your clik click clique needs you.

I would'nt feel the need to correct your spelling if you were not spouting on about ''facts'' and ''opinons'' and your overwhelming desire to put yorself forward as the person who will pull people and make those judgements. But in person folks watch him cower gloriously.

My post contained exactly what I wanted it too. As for money making opportunities I dont need to find them your doing it all for me in way you will never know.

Dont worry about it Jack its the old ''click'' ignore them.

Oh dear lol a man is now lacking in education because he is not as anal as others in putting little black dashes in the right places. Go on Dave take the floor and riddle me with your superior catechism. Some of us dont need to toss off our egos.

To my knowledge its known as American and was actually a rather lengthy debate at Uni many years ago. But thanks anyway. I rather like how IM looks as opposed to I'm.

I dont speak American English!

While IM sure you have all kinds of opinions on talking bollocks on profers the fact of the matter is ''PROFFERS'' harrrr. If you are going to be anal at least get it right.

Calling people odious earns you the comtempt you so despise. Yet again you speak not from experience but from speculation. You being in your boat does not mean you are incapable of doing anything that can be considered a threat. How do I know you dont have a knife when you have just slapped my dog screaming abuse at me then drag me in the boat. You slap my dog I slapped your face my word against yours you get what you give out. Not everyone in life is going to bow down to you and tolerate your abusive controlling attitude. You call someone a thug because they ask a question about a dog being referred to by someone else as tasty. You then take it upon yourself to assume that person will not be able to train and look after that dog properly but dont like it one someone judges you unfairly. Your mentality is far more odious than anyone elses as you see the worse in everything and take pride in jumping on any soap box you can calling people anything you can muster because you feel bad about yourself. IM going to have to leave you to this dribble now as IM not going to allow you to bring me down even further in debt with the karma bank.

I can only relate to real life experience rather than reading about it Dave from an idealistic perspective like yourself. If you shout at me after striking my dog I can premptively strike you the grounds that I feel sufficiently threatened through your verbal agression on intent to commit an offence upon my person rather than waiting for you to do so. I learnt this on many occasions at work when idiots who like yourself feel they can go through life smacking and shouting at people who dont do what they demmand. Call me a thug but I loved spanking bullies like you for a living. At least IM honest. But its ok you carry on condecending. Is there a reason why your on here sitting on your backside rather than doing something about your obesity. Its people like you who are a strain on the NHS and cost the rest of us money. I can be an insulting prick too just like you wehey. And getting your Mrs to crawl on all fours dont count as walking the dog sunshine.

He goes to Daily Mail annoymous Im afraid hes still in denial. And off you go again trying to bait me into further argument. You dont believe I would have a dog that was so unsafe no one could visit me on my boat or that a dog dont know when someone has good intentions or bad intentions. If I think you hitting my dog was just cause for slapping you back then you will have a hard time convincing any copper Ive assaulted you protecting my loved ones. IM talking about a degrading slap that would pee you off more than anything else not a right royal punch up. So behave yourself and go take your dog for a walk rather than standing there watching it walk itself (out of your side hatch I might add)

Excuse the misunderstand I meant loving it like a child not treating it like a child. Everyone is different I dont agree with hitting innocent animals who dont act out of malice.
