Yes, gene pool being very shallow around (more of a puddle, truthfully ....) but not being possessed of six Wriggly Fingers ... I'm going to do some editing and move the thread to the Marinas, Boatyards and so on commercial thread.

I think we all have, Arthur. Certainly infirmity in the grey matter area in some cases ...

Found him! Mystery is solved.

I don't know, Dalslandia; are you certain about the name, because it's not on the database? Can you link me to one of his earlier posts, please?

Moderator statement. I am locking this thread for a short while so that I can have a good look at some of the posting. Do not attempt open another thread discussing this, otherwise I shall place you in modqueue or worse. Wriggly Added ... Thread is reopened. Do not get involved in tit for tat posting, it reflects badly on the forum and on you as a member. This is a serious and emotive matter, and I am trying to keep the thread civil and on topic. You can make sure that it continues.

Mod's hat time ... It's a good debate and some interesting points have been raised. What I do want you to think about, is the wording of your posts. Nothing is proven or disproven other than money was owed and a boat taken to another place. Beyond that, we can surmise, infer, suggest or posit amongst many other useful terms, but we cannot say exactly. To suggest that one party has committed a crime is a serious allegation, however, the other party cannot refute this because they are not represented. Moreover, can I suggest that m'learned friend might not take too kindly to hearing that an ongoing case had been freely discussed in an open place. We rely on 'the conversation in the pub' rule often here, but I think we're going well beyond it with allegations of crimes being committed. I am going to leave the thread open, because it is, in the main, important and useful, but please consider what you post, particularly where you are involved as advisors and as friends. If the content continues in the same manner as prior to this post, I will be taking sanctions against those who bring the forum into disrepute or who are vexatious. Wriggly

I have a glorious image of Ubbe the Terrifying, Ivar the Boneless and Sigurd Snake in the Eye sitting, at leisure in their carpet slippers, being served cocktails, complete with parasols and exotic flowers, in a cruise ship lounger ...

Nothing changes really, does it?

Generally, Cobbett's clearance was a negative number Going for a beer in the part of Sweden I visit regularly involves a ferry to Denmark ...

That's it, I'm moving to Sweden ....

And in Sweden, they measure across the thumb too. Big thumbs, know what I'm sayin'? Welcome to boating ...

Yep, but what happens if the head falls off and it continues to self-tap? Does it enter a different time/space continuum? Like a wormhole?

Quite simply, the pleasure is shared ❤️

Bizzard ... This is to remind you ... "My all metal 1950's LIMIT desk fan has the most beautiful and shapely blade form. When in motion they twinkle in the most charming and captivating manner. It bbbbblows like anything too."

Thanks ❤️

Excellent! Can I use that, Athy?

Dalslandia, I have messaged you ...

Morning folks, I'm back at home after a five hour drive last night. Moderating content at a series of service stations was an interesting experience.... I've had to clean up this thread, which I've done. If some of your content has been lost, I will be messaging you. It isn't lost, merely hidden for admin purposes. Second, I'm going to go through the previous thread, when I've fortified myself with a coffee, and see what I can restore. Bear with me. The process of correctly propping a narrowboat is a fascinating one and I think would benefit from some explanation. As a historian, I'm afraid I tend to regard it as a black art, whereas I am sure that the mathematicians amongst you, could explain it all to me in equations, if only I had the wit to understand ... I'm going to re-name this thread shortly too. Message me if you have any concerns and I'll try to help ...
