freedom

its a lot cheaper to "park" as well!!

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2166995.ece this guy nearly lost his van today!

Took me a week! with the same tools. had to drill out the grubscrews, take the top of the shaft off with a grinder and cut the top in half with a grinder. was thinking of doing the same with the bolts but didnt have enough shaft left sticking out so i had someone weld the lot back together and onto the stump of the shaft. oh well next time i need to replace the bearing i will have to out of water it and replace the lot!

" keeping chickens afloat" Didn't know chickens sank

while drilling about 20 holes in the roof to fit the stove, i used a normal £20 drill from B&Q on a very low speed with a bit of cutting compound and an old drill bit. i had to keep grinding it sharp again but it seemed to work! just keep the drill slow to avoid the bit getting hot and burning out!

So you recomend mooring near B&Q? i suppose there may be a quite a few boats there that day so it might deterre any thoughts of studentism

Even tho i'm only half an hour from the basin at lboro i have never stayed the night there. is it a pretty safe place to moor at night?

if you're above above barrow deep then barrow is only a 2/3 min walk away and there is only one chippy, its not that good but it will do. straight down the main road in barrow.

if i can get there on the date then yes i will bring the tub. sociable wants to stay on my sofa so he can have some beers!

Man you lucky git! i only dream of that kind of speed! i have to swap between using my phone and a dongle thinggy cos somedays one of them wont connect. usually i end up suffering with 56.3 kbs and at most here i've had 480! max its ever got was out near sawley and it got 3.6 mbs! + if you're on a landline type thinggy it depends on how close you are to the nearest connection box thinggy.

a friend of mine got 28 bulbs delivered to them on friday so i guess they are still in there somewhere!

no probs mate! if the venue is anywhere near the cut?!

I'm up for that!
