CHRI5 Blessed

wasn't a bargemans hitch, it was just a loop in the rope, not spliced, just with a knot, might have been a bowline, i didn't get that good a glimpse of it! also the rope looked frail, it was that rope that feels like plastic....

actually i was there..... he was not in full forwards, but it was considerable... and in my opinion that was also a crap bit of rope.... tied off with some form of knot (how it held i don't know) but the guy was completly arrogant....

nah, you don't have a choice with the working boats! lol Chris Gray!

hmmm, a life boat, that would be interesting in the tug of war!!! if it doesn't hit a mud bank! Chris Gray.

who said i was running comercially... this is just for simon! i ain't getting any others!! lol Chris Gray.

simon, if you would like me to take you between the bank and your boat then i'd happily bring hayley along... but its £45 a trip! lol Chris Gray.

lol, this really is taking a turn for the worst! besides the point if whoever breaks anything while on the boat handleing then they are paying for it!!! with blood if it comes down to it! lol well that covers the patches in the lines on hayley... but what about the green and raddle red? Chris Gray

but do you have any green, raddle red and cream? Chris Gray. oooooooh, cheaky sod! lol sorry i havn't the money to break windows this year! lol Chris Gray.

i would do some painting if i could afford any paint this month!!! lol what with the price of gas and diesel, i barely got a fart out of the last gas bottle! lol Chris Gray

i don't have much of a choice so yes im gonna be there!!! hayley should be ready for the boat handleing, which day, saturday or sunday? brass still squeaky clean, but this weather i bet its gonna rain all weekend!!! Chris Gray.

yes but that would be why we pay cruising liscenses so we can cruise! i wonder when they first initiated moorings fees? Chris Gray

one of the things is if nobody paid for a mooring permit then where will BW get money to maintain the canal between locks? Chris Gray

when were those pictures taken blackrose? recent or a couple of years? denham i would say is one of the nicest country parts of the southern grand union! ya know for long term mooring without paying, there is plenty of room between cowley peachy junction and bulls bridge junction! also traffic needs increasing along that stretch, it is starting to get really weeded up, i got a pair of under pants on my prop on monday!!!! im damn glad i have a weed hatch! i dred to think where those under pants were before my prop! Chris Gray.

one word at 17:30 of the working day..... dilligaf

easy there blackrose... i've nearly finished polishing my brass! lol gotta work on the paint touch up for ricki fest after that!!! moorings in cowley wouldn't be so bad if the towpath side had a significant difference in price to the off-side (dark side) Chris Gray.

clevett is right... cowley is unregulated, but who in their right insane mind would want the be the warden there! WWIII would have no comparrison to cowley in uxbridge!!! Chris Gray.
