  3. spent quite a few hrs watching the work on boats at langly mill the pubs not that far away so i can walk up with my pint in hand , and the full sailaways he has built , which he sold via sawly marina i had a walk on it while it was their interesting watched him streatch a boat cut it in half and add a new center piece , he appears very savvy with boats and repairs and is a plesant person to chew the fat with , always busy too which is usually a good sign ? , but i guess theirs quite a few like him about thats been a small firm long established catering to the trade etc
  4. silicone sealant , is not that easy to use , as they have said it takes a constant equal slow pressure to get the sealant to flow out the nozzel at the speed your moving the nozzel at , , a bit like welding ? in one sense , but master that and your half way their , you can buy silicone sealant in clear as well as white , but some dont have a fungacide solution in them , get onr that does . id suggest just do a trial run on bit of material so you get the flow principel if you slow down you get a lump the silicones still coming out the nozzel at the same speed ? if you apply more pressure it comes out faster , its a case of balencing the two , get that right and youve saved half the mess already . its a knack you learn with use , same as welding takes a small while to get the hang off it , but its a small skill worth perfecting , silicone is like duct tape , the more you use it the more use you find for it . so take heart , lol . cleaning i just use a wet finger as a lot do then wipe my finger clean , the various small smears you might get , leave the to dry and just wipe over the following day they tend to just peel off , trying to wipe it off while wet just spreds it ? i used the plumbers merchants for my last 2 tubes , they said do you want the cheap £2.00 or the good stuff £5.00 i took the good stuff , i wouldent buy it fron warehouse etc i often tend to think they sell cheap stuff at a dear price , builders merchants etc will have the tradesmen going ape if the gear they sell is not fit , etc ? . you also say the panel moves if you apply pressure thats not good as you carnt force a good seal in , and like any surface your going to paint or glue or seal preperation is vital it needs to be clean . i think most might struggle a bit if the wall moves while your working . ive stuck down a ceramic wc pan onto ceramic floor tiles and its solid , so silican can and will do a lot of jobs very well as you say its learning the odd tip and more so learning the knack , dont be put off the ist time i tried woodworking all i built was a bonfire
  5. wow i managed to get to the end , regardless how all this turns out the damage has been done , it would be nice if it turned out in the end to be sorted to satisfaction of the majority , long term the boating community has taken a knock all round , when one finds a bad apple in the barrel it usually makes one susspect the damage isent one apple the barrel is susspect , confidence takes a knock all round , , id think some future boaters will as such loose a little confidence that the dream is tainted , cautions a good thing as many have suggested use caution in your dealings , but a lack of confidence in the grass roots as such ? the forum has shown that the boating world tends to pull togetheir in many directions to settle on a route that flows in the right direction might take a few posts to agree a course etc . but the cost to me appears to be a lot more than the money lost and the knock on effect will do more damage the forum goes a long way to limit that damage i think it may also be a asset thats crt take's note off , if not thats their loss and its not that easy to write that off it has no value ? but a good manager users a free resource so i think the marinas also follow the ebbs and flows of the forum . the only thing i cannot follow is who is this sparticus person because im getting a bad feeling about just who owns what does sparticuss 1 have any dealings with the otheir spaticuss,ers ? and is the new sparticuss even sparticuss though he says he isent will the real sparticuss just stand up and admitt he is sparticuss personally i think he is the plumber but i might be way of the boil on that one , i am not sparticuss he is , points over their >
  6. you could use a friend with a credit card to pay for you then give them the cash value , ?
  7. no nails is good , as ive found out and silicone sealant , i usually have atube off each the silicone sealant i brought from a plumbers merchants , ( do u want the cheap or good styuff ? ) i had the good , a tenner for 2 tubes , used one to stick a ceramic wc pan down on a tile floor , , held it solid and aunty may is no light weight lady . but it takes a little time to cure , go off , unlike a nail or scew which dont . by the way star did you get rid of yr black google bar ? cause i posted up on yr thread , i got rid of mine .. as for fixinfg the woodwork not to big a job the difficulty is getting a compressor jack hammer a full size wood working lathe , assorted dsocket sets some short rsj,s and a blow lamp , in the back of the car to make sure ive enogh kit to do the job ?
  8. Just a thought is the original poster still in this conversation or getting any help or assistance from us , ( which he may have asked for ? ) or has he decided to go to one of the many and local free placers that offer expert advice on these subjects . The question is why did he come here to post and think he would get ( what ? ) not their to ask , Difficult one though As its problem ( personal facts not known ) solution Thats P ,x ???? + ? =S the obvious and correct answer is y+n =m? squared Yes but no , maybe? maybe How ever in defence of this forum , i find all your posts interesting valid and informative , also a bit exciting as things start to warm up get hot then turn into 50 shades of red , how ever lets not harm the forum or each other we may do ourselves more harm and the op no good . With our help ? Or the op , may have just decided to ignore us 27 posts ago ? But you may cuss me for my post or call me what you wish , i have a thick skin , im difficult to insult , as i cannot catch the nasty drift , i could say im thick or poorly educated , then again i could say i just think most people are OK given the chance but they will make fools of them selfs now and then , my friends expect that of me. So lets all realize its the week end , time to go for a social drink , mines tea but i can run to a pint if you can lend me a pound , Put the week behind us and start afresh tomorrow , i’m not saying don't post as you do , just stand back take a fresh look and perhaps post up Monday with a vengeance , ops i mean fresh perspective . After all the post is about , err i lost track , what was the post about , i think i posted up and i can see the flaws in that post myself , i guess i’m lucky that not too many picked up on it . So that's c+b =f -ps? Chill plus brew = friends minus problem solved ? humm ive pasted up in the wrong formatt again , some one tell me it this font that size ?

  11. yes well i havent as such made a claim for many years and went on the books , but you pay your tax and hhs etc even self employed or 715 etc , but you paid taxers same as every one , was for some reason left out of the claim support ? is the point i was making , as for the ins and outs of the present system ive not requested thats not the point of the post i made , im sure i could get a benifitt advisor if i wished to put in a claim , i dont, but the imformation was correct at the time it applied to me , but thanks for the heads up on whats relivant today humm i take its thats using multi quote ? neat thats quite usefull , must try that ? can u multi multi quote ?
  12. ah sorry , i did it on my office software , ive tracked back through the posts , but when its a long debated subject , were exactly does it say ? so i will try and bear it in mind , wouldent expect yr programme to have a auto standard text , and im not computer literate or any otheir , can you put a post it up , i alterd the text because it was small but bold . i used this software to change it , i also find it difficult to post imagers so i dont as yet . , if i make a mistake again feel free to delete or ignore the post , but i will attempt to comply with the request , i aint perfct you know and ive had a long hard difficult day , still got a smile mind , ive typed this in direct dosent say above what this text is set at ? im assuming its standard forum formatt ?
  13. well if your self employed and pay two lots of stamp , which i did , you carnt get state aid , although they will give your wife and kids a allowence for food , you dont get included , fortunatly i was able to get 2 days work every week , so my " claim was invalid " when i turned up to report no work over several weeks , as they say were theirs a will theirs a way , different strokes for differnt blokes , but i did get a bloke asking me if i wanted to buy a new matress as he had just got one for free off them . as you say though their are genuine casers who need the support .
  14. Ah yes I thought it was a nice video , enjoyed it but didn,t agree with all of it , also enjoyed reading the posts , many good points and some I may have skipped over . But ive enjoyed your input and thank you for that . Quite good coverage all round Also of interest was the 38deg stuff , now im a semi active member and regular receive posts from them , I don’t post on all of them but I do support quite a few , one of interest was the pesticide one , and recently as I had posted to my MP about their pay rise , I actually got up caught the bus up town and sat in the waiting room to add weight to the petition that was handed in , as I had voted on that I didn’t see the MP did not talk to them , but I think it adds some more proper support than just a click of the key board etc. . I would not have voted on this one , but im surprised to find im not aware of it are 38degs are being selective ?. I would like to see their post because if I think their selectively manipulating me I will as such withdraw some support from them , I do not support them financially , I add my time and vote , I can afford that . I’m also aware of issues concerning the less fortunate members and people suffering from medical difficulties , I’ve just spent the last two days dealing with my cars MOT , and I had a person who suffers with bipolar , with me , he has a heart of gold is a nice person , but its kinda difficult dealing with him but I like him he is genuine nice person who puts his self out to help others but its taken us a while to strike a relation ship that works , its difficult , it may be me that,s at fault not him and im just assuming because he has bio polar etc . The other thing apart from 38 deg , and I appreciate finding that out , is that I have written to CRT twice , their supposed to reply within 5 days the second letter they haven’t , although I’ve sent them photos , I've also tried to contact the other party who appears to be on a site within a site and I’ve spent a few hrs. on that , still can’t get a reply as of yet , but I will its a boater problem and as such wont bother me , its a waste of resource’s , and doesn’t effect me , its a damage to your banks , and makes it difficult for you , but doesn’t effect me and its another canal user that’s basically abusing the canal for their personal benefit against all other . Same as the 28 year old parking in the disabled spot and sprinting in to fetch a bottle of milk , bugs me , when I see a 68 year old struggling to walk from the far end of the car park etc. I was originally going to post up in the forum but decided I should put some effort into it myself I found it irritating why pass the problem onto you ? Without making a effort myself ? . so CRT would you please respond and reply otherwise you will be receiving a snotty letter , as I wont be going away . So my cars gone spent all day , got another banger , sorted insurance and sent forms off , been to garage to sort out the squeak , ( might be a mouse I thought ? As I’m not mechanically bent ) but good news it wasn’t a mouse two days gone and my wallets got a IOU in it and a dead moth . And yet more to sort out , but nice to relax and find out my bad two days are not that big a problem compared to theirs .
