  1. No one told you when to run You missed the starting gun
  2. And then one day you find Ten years have got behind you.
  3. I was under the impression that red oxide is porous, so left with no top coat in a wet bilge will not last long. The water based red oxide of today is not a patch on the oil based stuff off old. I epoxy coated the bilge of our engine room a few years ago, and that has stood up pretty well, but does require good prep.
  4. Also worth pointing out that there are two different height 19Kg calor bottles. We can just get one of the shorter types in our gas locker and still close the lid. They are generally cheaper than the 13Kg size, and you obviously get more gas too. Whether they are stocked in the same quantity by canal side yards is also worth considering, as is the extra weight carrying and lifting them.
  5. Was it locked though, or was it completely deleted? If you believe our friend Mr truckcab this place is the work of the devil. From what I saw (before it was removed) similar behaviour was happening there. Useful answers interspersed with not so useful answers to questions being asked by entitled people not willing to pay for professional advice.
  6. No, but the useful comments are still here, whereas those useful comments on the FB page have gone,along with the 90 comments of not so useful.
  7. I suppose whether it was right or not is dependant on what rules the forum owner thought it had broken. However, I think the point I was trying to make, is that it was a similar thread to this one, in that a question was asked, answers given in good faith, and then taken exception to. However, the difference being that the evidence of that discussion have now been censored deleted, giving perhaps a false impression that this site is worse than others. I know threads are often locked on this site, and perhaps deleted if they get really bad,in rare cases, but the one on FB to me looked pretty good natured with lots of useful suggestions (including yours).
  8. That's because they make Turkish Diesel-ight out of the red stuff.
  9. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 10 posts to view.
  10. Which is more than the facebook group I posted a snippet from earlier will do. The history has been deleted. Not only has the original question and associated comments disapperred, but also the subsequent follow up discussion about it. I am sure all those people that offered their time and advice freely are really happy to see their efforts vanish. They could, afterall, have been useful to someone else reading. I don't know if FB has the ability just to turn a thread off or switch off comments, but that seems to be a more logical approach to me, and I'm glad the mods here decided to ignore the request to delete the 'wanted bronze propeller" thread from a few days back. Still, I could be completely wrong, and the thread has just tempararily disappeared whilst moderation takes place on it.

  12. Yes, lot of nice places around there.Apparently Einstein spent some time just outside cromer too. Dunno if he was there for the crabbing though. He did like boats though, and probably would have approved of this: https://myelectricsparks.com/yamaha-introduces-worlds-first-hydrogen-powered-outboard-engine-miami-boat-show/ BTW The PLA is looking for a deputy harbour master. I heard you might be looking for a job, so have put your name forward.
