Ahh the WW goldfish surfaces for air bloop bloop

We have had this situation a coiple of times with our Diesel stove, you probably have got a slightly Larger than usual puddle of fuel in the burner pan , when this has caught light it has gone into an "overheat" situation The popping could have been caused by the fire trying to draw more and more oxygen in to feed the flames. All you can do is turn it off LET IT COOL THROUGHLY check the fuel inlet area for carbon and relight HTH Chris B

Totally agree David, at the end of the day any differences people have with BW etc are VERY secondary to the larger picture I also appreciate the input Eugene puts in to this newsgroup if only for a perspective of "the other side of the fence" Chris Bennett

Oh just the pair Janet ! enough is enough My lawyer will ring me when he wants a new car !! Chris B

So much truth in that Moley !! Mind you I suppose when I saw the state she was in , bursting into fits of laughter was probably NOT the correct thing to do at the time....opps

Look on the good side...at least you didn't have a bucket and chuckit in your hands ... ( Like one of my ex wives did once !!!!!.. I had to hose her down on the towpath before I would let her in the boat ! Chris B (Now with a pump out ! )

The point Steve is that with enough people gathering around the country on the same day,with local MP's , the press etc etc in attendance WE WILL gain maximum publicity for what is probably one of the most important causes if you care at all for the Canals I personally feel that trying to blockade the Thames is not only a no go to start with but also highly dangerous but having localised protest in key locations will get the message over far better jmo Chris B

In hindsight it must be de ja vu this thread then Chris B

One day all the boats in all the marinas will all decide to go boating at the same time !!!! Arghhhhhhhh ....... mind you how many will be licenced I wonder Chris B

you can give me a ring on 07770 893 453 for the details of the Rick gathering on the 2th Chris

Alan' These three were take in July this year on the "home run" from Saltford Marina to Uxbridge where we moor normally The paintwork is quite faded and tatty hence hopefully next year a repaint All the best Chris and Lise

Thanks , I spoke to Tony the other week about Baldock ( I know him through the Day job ) he said he would try to look some photos up for us What I am looking for was anyone who had photos in their own collection of Baldock either in working trim or converted we are trying to build up a history of the boat Many thanks Chris B
