Thread bumping.

Indeed it is Sir and I would suggest bordering on blatherskite. And tommyrot.

Someone looked at the accounts and they have £23 million.or something. However there was also a Bridgewater Canal Trust. It seems a little unimprobable that the persons in charge know what they are doing and can strategically steer of a financial loss.

There was a really annoying kid at school called Morris. I hated seeing him dance. Don't like to see Morris dancing.

I will let you buy me some beer as well !

I will help you out here and you only have to give me a pony. I always quite liked the Bantock bows. Pretty as a picture.

Danforth anchors are dodgy. They'll take your fingers off given half a chance. R clips are brilliant.

Oh yes. And the axes. And the lovely little chainsaw. Bow saws. The forged iron ditch spade. The list is endlass. Chrome windlasses ! Oh my god I will have to write a Will and itemise all this. Or dump it all on eBay !

Fair point. I assume if I die while they are minors the Woman will be trusted with dealing with assets. She is the 3rd greatest person in the world so thats no problem. My personal circumstances are really very simple. There are no family hairlooms These went in the River or the fire already.

Have you ever thought of being a comedian?

Oh right. So this better than going and having a chat with the solicitor with my friend then. Probably better for the family. To avoid discord

I think a punt gun could potentially be quite useful.

Thats fair enough but as my children are my only direct relatives it won't be complicated anyway. It would just get split in two. I aim to avoid solicitors. This is not something I am remotely flexible about. I know a Will can be done without a solicitor but at the end of the day minimising any chance of them being involved in any way whatsoever is in fact my only aim. I don't like their morals. Bad energy. Avoid. Ideally it would be best to distribute assets in advance of death but then one gets into a slightly different subject which is making the choice of when to go. Most people think this is too much of a taboo but in my mother's family it has been very common. A lot of my relatives get off the train early.

There is a third one !

I am aware of potential sibling trouble which is why I am avoiding complications. Two girls close in age they are good friends. I don't and won't own any property which helps. If I have anything left they get half each. Simple although the Boat situation could be tricky I suppose. Luckily my sisters and I never get any conflicts around money because we know, from mother's side of the family, that it is not worth losing family relationships over money. Blood is thicker than water. Interesting to observe the different ways people handle having a lot of money. Some are very defensive and end up loaded while others just throw caution to the wind and end up with not much but they probably had more fun on the journey and did not spend their time screwing over other people.

I avoid dentists. Especially when I am 66.

I had been considering a road trip.

No that will be fine as my only direct relatives are two children who insha'allah will become adults. There is nobody else legally connected to me now or in the future. I realise if one becomes entangled with others it complicates matters but that will not happen.

There were arguments around whether to go via the Chanel tunnel or the Boss tunnel. I use brass wire rather than cordage.

You should have done this when you bought it. They cleverly wrap them for you to a satisfyingly small diameter. A bit of Plastic to get it going. The job is a good one.

OK. But that is Asda and I know nothing about this particular shop. I thought it was a hypermarket. In passing I have never got the impression it is very super.

Speaking of anchoring there was an anchor failure on a canal quite recently and the vessel ended up across the chanel. Unfortunately it happened when the pound was high. Owners left to do something else. The CRT eventually S8 and removed the obstruction to a remote site. The Boat was called the Ever Taken. This is what the demons at the CRT do. Beware. Get a proper anchor. Wire the shackles !

Use the other Felco for that.

It reminds me rather of the old days where we used to burn our old horse drawn carriages after the horse had died and been eaten.

I did have a neighbour once who routinely burned the disposable nappies which was a bit nasty.
