Yesterday several boats came past speeding like the was no tomorrow.
Well there must have been because here we are!
I must have moved a few inches.
I did the only thing a decent boater could do.
I got off my boat and retied my frontline.
Job done!
EDIT: This is a JOKE!

Who the f is Lord Maffi of Oxford?
That'll be Moi! I have some forested land in Scotland that entitles moi to use the title Lord. Which I of course am now very fond of. I can put it on my passport, I can put it on my driving licence. I could tattoo it on my bum but it is my title. You dont have to bow or curtsey! Bit of a giggle really.

It may not be the same but that on its own does not mean that it is not useful/usable. It does however appear to fall into the camp of those who think that anything that is different from 'the old way of doing things' must be inferior.
Its not about doing things the old way its about not dumping toxic trash anywhere you please. Its against the law!

Strange why people would want to tell lies, especially when it’s more than 1 person. Wonder why that is?
That's because there is more than one numpty who thinks that shouting at people to 'Slow Down' because their boat is rocking is a proper way to behave. It's not! I can see the problem, you live in a house!

Oh I can!
1 minute ago, Wanderer Vagabond said:It's only harassment if you feel harassed by it, personally I find comments on a discussion forum a bit too trivial to feel harassed by
I have worked really hard to get a reputation as a miserable, grumpy old bastard, so on the surface I dont care, but the lies are very annoying.

It is an odd thread, or at least some of the comments are, it's almost like some are stalking the bloke
Its not stalking its harassment. ??

Sadly no more. Drayton the Dog passed away last year he had a good life as a boat dog. In regard of telling me to foook off, even if you found reason to I'd still buy you a pint just to jaw about the Mr Angrys of this world who pop up in the most unexpected places and generally lower the mood.
Oh that's sad. My old girl is 15 now cant have much longer to go.

The reason I told @Maffito slow down was because anyone that knows Wallingford knows there is a camp site above the bridge and there was children in the river in a dingy and swimming.
I do not have a problem with being told by anyone where to go but I do have a problem when it’s in front of my children!Seems to be a common theme with @Maffihere and his self entitlement on the waterways. Apparently it’s all us and @Maffiis never at fault
So now you bring up kids in the river. Are you the only one who can drive a boat? Do you think I don't watch what is going on on the river? I am well aware where the places are that kids swim in the river. Wind ya neck in this is just BS & harassment!

I wonder what the old working boaters did with their ash?
(I don't really wonder, I'm sure they just chucked it in the cut).
Bit of a traditionalist dilemma.
I bet they didn't have nice uniformed briquettes. Probably had proper coal and proper ash. Suit able for a whole load of things.
-
What is it with you people. This is a post about morons dumping ash!
Hijacked by morons who do not know the rules complaining about me "speeding" when it seem I do know the rules! AND ABIDE BY THEM.
I am half expecting the bloke who told me to speed up down near AYNHO to turn up any minute and join in the furore!
Can we have a Moderator close this thread down please?

Could somebody point me to where it says "tickover" in the rulesa please. I have just wandered through the boater's handbook and tickover isn't mentioned. It does say "slow down passing boats".
EXACTLY!

Cough, Wallingford is EA. ?
Lovely coffee, almost felt like normal again for a few hours.
You are quite right, but I am a CRT registered vessel.

If you are going to make veiled threats on a public forum I think you need to chill or sell your boat cos you're going to end up "reminding" a lot of people.
I wouldn't tell you to foook off, you have a sweet dog!
