[Water pressure conundrum]

He lost my attention when he started mixing his pressure units (45psi, 0.6bar).

 

 

[Creamy Mushroom sauce for pork chops]

Very similar to the Memsahib's receipt for Cheeky Pork -- best with actual pork cheeks, if you can get them.

Do we want to prevent WW3, or do we want to have a longtitudinal waterpark ?

 

It's (surely) a no-brainer.

 

 

 

It's not a no-brainer, it's a false dichotomy.

>> The only way to stop this is to somehow magically prevent schools all over the world teaching English, or for us to all start speaking Welsh... 😉 

 

**Ahem** 

Or Gaelic!

 

 

Meanwhile back on topic, how much is Rish!'s much-trumpeted increase in defence spending going to cost? How far would that go if it were invested in inland waterways? Would anyone like to do the calculation?

 

 

 

 

[CRT funding campaign]

I want to know what is "illegal" about seeking asylum. 

 

However, the CRT funding model was always pie-in-the-sky tory short-termism.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Zebo Stove Polish]

Stovax works just fine.

No, I was merely pointing out basic truth.

Not only good prices, but good beer too.

No distinction is made between CCers and CMers.

 

There is no distinction to be made, except that one group follows the rules and the other group doesn't.

I don’t want no kids 

 

No, you'll just want someone else's kids to look after you in your dotage.

 

 

[Knots for fender hooks.]

Search "spring snap hooks" on Gurgle and tie the fenders permanently to them. Better still, use an eye splice to tie the SSH's on.

And all my own words, no plagiarism here. 

 

 

 

It's not your words that are the problem, it is the unique meanings you ascribe to them.

 

 

[Yes its the Daily Mail, but its still news?]

Glad to see yet another rejection of the Higgs Alternative Dictionary.

 

 

[Replacing an old 12v radio - what's the best and easiest to use out there?]

A digital telly also receives digital radio. 

Just sayin'.

 

 

[Boat Safety Certificate]

I'd think that in CRT 's collective mind a licence reminder also functions as a BSC reminder, as you cannot get a licence without a certificate.

That is SUCH a ridiculous word! Even though the meaning is appropriate, lol.

 

Just as the term "Solicitrix" is ridiculous for a.... go on have a guess... (or look it up)! 

 

 

 

I take it you have no affinity for Yorkshire dialect. It's a perfectly good word, and I wasn't laiking about. 

 

 

[New Charge to enter Liverpool]

The answer is simple. If you can't thoil it, don't go.

 

 

[Fanbelts]

We really shouldn't be calling it a fan belt. There isn't a fan in sight (OK, there's one just visible inside the alternator casing) but the component is clearly an alternator drive belt.

 

I haven't had a car with a fan belt for decades either, as fans on modern cars are electric.

But there won't be many second-hand boats at shows, only a few brokerages with printouts of their websites. I am with the go visit brokerages advice.

 

Yes, me too. Brokerages, plural. Be prepared to travel around.

On balance this is perhaps a ‘foolish’ idea of mine. 😉

 

Think I’ll stick to my usual pastimes of lock snorkelling and body surfing in bywashes - less risky. 😊

 

You should try underwater pole-vaulting.

 

 

[Too many quangos]

I thought CRT was a third-sector charity?

 

 

[Too many quangos]

There's nothing fundamentally wrong with a consultancy model. It's cheaper to use a call-off contract than to employ specialists to sit on their arses for (say) 40 weeks a year.

 

 

[Removing old lacquer from brass]

If you paint it, there's no need to polish it.

(Runs for cover...)

 

 

 

[Too many quangos]

I think the term the OP was groping for might be consultant.

 

It's arguable whether CRT should have the expertise in-house, but the fact is, they almost certainly do not.

 

[What to do with an old Gas Cylinder?]

Our local authority amenity/recycling site accepts them.

 

Doesn't yours?

That's how they can afford a £6m house.
