    Fish & chips

    "Or for weight-watchers -- battered Maltesers!" -- genuinely seen by me in a Glasgow chippy... 😉

  7. Touche... 😉
  8. "Smart" isn't the first word that springs to mind... 😉
  9. Yes they would (and the same for the bow fender) -- the angle of view is deceptive... 😉 P.S. Before anyone points it out, the knotted wet string isn't a real mooring rope, the picture was taken before these were fitted... 😉
  10. Osmium, that's what you want... 😉
  11. You're sure it's *depleted* uranium? 😉
  12. Good -- they're not paying for them, why should they get to use them? I hope you're not approving this behaviour, using facilities that cost CART money but he doesn't pay for? 😉

  14. Just be warned, it might look harmless but you can severely cut yourself if you slip while applying force to such a scraper. DAMHIK... 😞
  15. Where on earth did they get it from? I remember a science exhibition many years ago with a bar of depleted uranium sitting on a display, caged at the ends so you could lift it (with both hands) but not nick it. Very strange sensation, you'd have sworn it was being held down by strong hidden magnets or cables with hidden weights... 😉
  16. Indeed, guitarists often have long strong sharp fingernails, these could cut the sealant... 😉

  23. How? 😉 Regardless of how careful you are, they happen sometimes. Unless you're that mythical "perfect boater" so frequently found on CWDF... 🙂
  24. If I cared about looking "the traditional way" would I have an electric boat with solar panels on the roof and no mushrooms/dog boxes? You think those ropes look good, I think they look a mess -- that's opinion. There are weak links inside the plastic where you can't see them. If you don't have a bow fender you're going to have some pretty nasty crunchy impacts with lock cills if the boat gets pulled forward in a filling lock. Like I said, this is why people don't post pictures... 😉
  25. I don't honestly care, even if you do -- if I'm going to spend time on the boat I've got far better things to do... 😉
