  1. https://ebay.us/m/UiRWYQ There's a fancy backlit one for you
  2. My dear departed Mum used to tell a tale of when rationing was on and the local shop got some banana's in. There was a large bungalow at the top of their street, at the end of the terraced houses, who thought themselves a cut above the local populace. Everyone was in a queue at the shop to get their banana ration, when in walks madam from the bungalow and heads straight to the front. "I'm the lady from the bungalow, can i have my bananas now?" Replies the shopkeeper; "Ah dunt care if tha's an angel from hevven, tha can get thissen t'back and queue like every bugger else" Mum also told how later on in the war, Mr Bungalow was paid a visit by the law and found to have a cupboard full of illicit tinned goods acquired through black marketeering.
  3. Because i spaffed £17 on our boat when i didn't have to. I'm not THAT good a neighbour
  4. Went to the boat to discover ours was doing that plaintive beep that indicates the sealed-in battery is about to give up the ghost, so ordered a new one. Got to boat with new one in hand only to realise it was actually the boat next door who's alarm was doing the death beep As it was of unknown age (previous owner fitted but didn't write date on) i swapped it anyway. My wallet still sulks about this
  5. You'll be telling me that funny white thing on the ceiling isn't a Bacon Alarm next
  6. Ours recently became the "getting beaked by an entitled swan whilst choosing a beer from the cupboard below it" hatch Yours sounds less painful
  7. I was confused by it in Nov 2021, never come across gear like it. I was told by one of the denizens to leave the gates open when leaving, as someone had gone out and would be back at some point in the day (basically how we found it).
  8. Not tried that variant, went for dry as it saves getting residue on yer clothes when sat on the sides, perhaps when my original can runs out i'll give it a go but i may not be alive by then
  9. Yes, but it's THIS stuff and not THIS we were on about
  10. Have you considered just having normal curtains, but applying one-way glass film to the windows? The "reflective" look is not to everyone's taste, but it's another option for you to think about. Brass fittings and fiddle rails can get surprisingly expensive when you have quite a few to buy.
  11. ^this I usually spray some WD40 PTFE spray onto a rag and then wipe down all the brass runners, if the boat has been unused for a while it goes from almost impossible to move to something akin to a bobsleigh on ice In the past i used to polish up the brass runners first, but these days i've learned to live with the tarnished look. Life's too short.
  12. Birmingham, Alabama
  13. An Amazon driver in the States recently got sacked for that
  14. I've found an LTE Manager app for iOS, will see how that goes
  15. Ahh, so an Android solution Sadly i need a Windows or iOS one
  16. Are you using the javascript link through the browser to fiddle with it, or something else? I keep meaning to look into this but always forget when i'm onboard where the router is
  17. It's a euphemism for big bolt cutters, much like the Rozzers call the battering ram for opening house doors a universal key
  18. That's what we did with the Battery Isolator plaque that's on the well deck locker where the bow thruster batteries live, good enough for the BSS bod anyway.
  19. Sewer Tubes, Ditch Crawlers, Tin Slugs etc.
  20. Guilty as charged, m'lud
  21. Buy two, then if one needs washing you have a dry one ready to go
  22. I don't recall them applying for a licence for my dear departed Mum's Liver & Onions, someone owe's me some royalties
