  2. not sure wellies are approved HMP footwear, you'll have to change your username for the remainder of your sentence
  3. that's if it was floating in the first place
  4. local youths launched a rocket at the petrol station down the road last week, so presumably they'd stored it since last year or firework sellers aren't that scrupulous?
  5. are those for the swans/ducks? can you get sweetcorn or bread grenades too?
  6. we run a Huawei E5573 that i picked up 2nd hand a couple of years ago for about £20. It has an internal battery but to be honest its usually run off a USB cable plugged into a 12v cigar socket. Its blu-tacked to the window in the saloon and usually performs well, but i have recently bought a pair of cheap aerials for it as it has two TS9 sockets which worked well last time out on the boat. If it was solely our boat i'd look at a more permanent solution and spend a bit more. i think @Jen-in-Wellies had problems with one overheating in a window so be careful of direct sunlight
  7. the desks were in a sort of H configuration, some down the side of the room and some across the middle, she was on the side bench in my peripheral vision, liked to have that extra button undone and bit her pencil a lot. Mr Holdsworth was a good teacher, but not THAT good.
  8. you'll always catch a slow boat due to slipstreaming, turbulent flow, laminar flow, fluid dynamics and all that other good stuff i never paid attention to in Science due to a lovely girl called Lorraine sat on the next desk being quite the distraction
  9. once spent a few hours in an unventilated room at school glueing up a big collage for the entrance hall using this stuff, worst headache of my life an hour or so later. gave it a lot more respect when using it at art college
  10. were you logged in to YouTube when you watched it last? if so, try the Library tab and scroll back through the history of vids you've watched to find it (not sure if this will work if you don't have an account but worth a shot).
  11. theres loads of these videos, think i’ve been watching them for about an hour now. wife has just declared “you’ll watch owt” and gone in the kitchen in disgust, think i might be in the bad books now ?
  12. swiping apples from other folks trees = scrumping collecting wood from wherever you can for bonfire night = chumping
  13. it did say it originally, but the Facebook post has since been edited ?
  14. isn’t grass cutting subbed out to Fountains? so they’ll still be paying the same if it got cut or not.
  15. perhaps they'd watched too much of Harry Enfield's scousers?
  16. not so much bothered as confused by it, perhaps i do use it as a form of test, suppose i'd have to think about it a bit more but it's already becoming more of a thing than i'm wanting it to be.
  17. but why should i hide it? why should their attitude change?
  18. i know that, you know that, but there have been a couple of occasions where i've been chatting to others at locks (our boat is not shiny) and have had a noticeable change in attitude when they ask how long you're out for and you reply "just a week as it's a shareboat", sad really but that's life as they say.
  19. i was referring to his brother Wayne and his recent media outings trying to select a "partner" "Wayne Lineker posts cringe ad for young girlfriend who can cook and give up job for him" "Wayne Lineker's list of demands for a girlfriend stuns the internet The 58-year-old wants any prospective girlfriend to like Money Heist, quit their career and have "on point" geography " etc.
  20. technically the term "hobby boater" may not be derogatory, but i think when used in this context it was meant that way, like "backseat driver" or "armchair referee". the person using the term implying that you are a "hobby" boater merely playing at boating where they are obviously professional as they do it 24/7. just another bullshit term to put someone else down and make themselves feel all superior. don't feel bad as a hobby boater though, i'm only a shareboater so you're way above me on the pecking order
  21. was the captain's last name Lineker by any chance?
  22. i'm not sure Alan, but i'm willing to let you buy me one for extensive testing so i can give you a definitive answer. purely for academic purposes of course
