WOW :-) looking amazing

Yes ... sounds good to me

hmmm I am still trying to catch one of my socks to try this recipe .....

PiR speaks the truth .... I started my seeds quite early ... and didn't put them outside till quite late, as it was so cold for so long ..... and blatantly I am just better at growing tomatoes than you the bees and butterflies and many other flying tings have been swarming over my plants .... which is nice but I suspect my nasty-sturshums are about to be decimated by cabbage white caterpillars

Wow ... looking good I'm picking tomatoes, french beans and salad now ..... yum

Done .... and good effort John

A most excellent wheeze .... but not sure if I can dedicate my broomstick to full time power generation ....

Indeed .... who could forget the legendary Keb Darge .... king of northern soul dance moves .... ah ha thankyou .... I must get one of these implements of destruction ....

Glad to hear you are having some happy days Tree ..... but RED paddles and a PINK boat .... must have clashed ....

They either bend over, enjoy the experience and pop back up again .... (fnerk fnerk) ...... or they snap off, get used in my dinner and reshoot ... or they demonstrate they are not up to boaty life .... I did have to harvest the wormwood, which had completely obscured my view .... and it is currently drying in the sun ready to play it's part in the holy trinity of absinthe brewing ...... had to get the Boater's dictionary out there .... what is a "keb"? ..... (I thought it was a sheep parasite .... oh no, that is a ked)

hmmm a deafening silence on the good points ..... despite this recent problem .... mine is a much loved and trusty reliable old friend now .... and you can get most parts / spares / filters etc in a motorfactors rather than having to pay chandlery prices

as in those mentioned in the early Chinese herbals and Gerard in his 1594 Herbal? ...... plenty to spice up your life with on The Herb Boat .... shameless self promotion .... *like* me on Farcebook and get 10% off your first purchase

Hmmm ... I like to see a bit of tat and foliage on a roof .... and no, I can't see past the fennel, and no, I haven't tripped ..... yet

Hmmm .... being a scientific sort, I thought I would do some research today to see if we could back this wild claim up with some hard empirical data .... and these are my staggering results, including my study of non-boaters for statistical porpoises .... 96.8% of boaters I passed did indeed bear an uncanny resemblance to Dr Shipman ... of which 62% were female 0.01% of fisherpeople, 0.3% of lycra louts and 42% of ramblers also bore (sic) a resemblance to aforementioned dastardly doctor case proven methinks

Hmmm what is the collective noun for people with hot and bovvered BMC engines? A blather of BMCs ..... A swelter of BMCs ..... A simmer of BMCs ? Many innocent people have now been liberally soaked during numerous attempts to flush and bleed the cooling system ..... It is good to know I am not alone .....

You would think so ..... BUT despite Richard's careful work, that was clearly in need of doing, and a head restored to lovely condition ..... my overheating problem has not been cured ........ so everything flushed and bled, head pressure tested etc etc etc ...... (this has to be said in the style of Yul Bryner in "The King and I") ...... she still starts to heave and belch as soon as she is asked to do more than 1200 rpm, and comes to a rolling boil at above 1500 rpm she never did this before the "screw incident" earlier this year, when the head came off for first time (since I have had her) .... and it has got worse as time has gone on. Any suggestions ??

Hmmmm no embarrasment Richard .... it was my head that got rebuilt ..... I am extremely grateful and would thoroughly recommend Richard and Primrose Engineering to any one here who has engine problems .... his work was meticulous, he is a great guy and my head came back spanking clean and painted a lovely shade of green (mind you, I have not had the invoice yet ) Some of you will have been following the recent overheating shenanigans on previous threads that myself, and Bengt, had been struggling with following the earlier "screw incident" .... my head had been off earlier in the year and put back on by a well respected and time served spannerman, but with the gasket on upside down. People make mistakes, and in mitigation, it was sub zero and blowing a blizzard at the time. Whether we have cured the overheating or not will be revealed hopefully today when I finally get to leave the fleshpots of Brownhills ..... but good job done Richard and great pics and glad the phone survived its swim in the curly wyrley

Excellent work John .... really looking forward to trading at the floating market and think the whole event will strengthen the lines of communication with CaRT. Many thanks for your cosiderable efforts to make this happen.
