Stolen (and not Recovered)other

[matty40s]

In my travels this week, I spotted a Nora Jones CD partialy hidden in the reeds below Picketts Lock, it had a lump of goose shit on it.

Unfortunately, it was out of my reach and I wasn't sure it was stolen anyway.

 

...but it's there.

 

There are also currently 42 floating footballs between Limehouse and Tottenham.

[Barry]

Are you bored Matty?

[LoneWolf]

Nora Jones! spect they were glad to lose it.

 

To the person who lost the 'Oxford Blue' Aussie style cowboy hat (small size) on the Ashby in 2009 I have it. BW recovered it with their dredging operations but then I stole it from the dredger when they were off for lunch

[Chertsey]

If you lost a broom in the abandoned lock at City Road in 2008, I have it. You would need to be able to prove your ownership of course.

[fuzzyduck]

If anyone's had a bag of rubbish stolen, its wrapped round my propellor. Come get it back

[Grace and Favour]

Aaaargh! - - I don't want it now - - -you've got it all tangled!

I once found a 'Health and efficiency' magazine left on a lock beam half way up Heartbreak hill and wondered if it was in-flight entertainment.

Sorry, as an Australian I couldn't let this one slide. There is no such thing as an 'Aussie style cowboy hat' as there are no cowboys in Australia. We have squatters, ranchers, jackeroos, drovers and cattle farmers though. Perhaps you mean it was sort of like the Akubra hat that has inexplicably become fashionable on the canals?

 

p.s. good save

Quite different, but we do occasionally find "Hairy Neil" unexpectedly half way up, (or down) a lock flight.

 

Not sure he is ever either lost or stolen, though.

[Naughty Cal]

I have found someones white plastic bag. If they want it back they can contact me. It will be returned along with the bill for the repairs to fix the damage it caused

He can be very entertaining though

Thats a good point well made.

To clarify, it is more like a drover hat than an Akubra - i modified my language to make it understandable to the majority of poms on this site

Having an Aussie mum means i'm bi-lingual in these things. Now where are my pants*...

 

 

 

* thats trousers to the poms

Perhaps he's searching for his stolen magazine?

If anyones lost a stained divan, it's floating past the poplars on Tottenham Marshes...

Trousers to the poms but dacks to me and ya Mum

[Sunset Rising]

this is a daft thread but I can be daft with the best of you.

 

If anyone has lost a couple of small poly bags with squishy stuff in them they are hanging in a tree on the south oxford.

Hee hee - sadly she's no longer around but aussie slang always reminds me of her & makes me smile

 

i use 'inner pants' & 'outer pants' to avoid confusion

 

to go even further off topic; I've just realised we've met - In Brentford in July 09 you'd just arrived there & i was carting laundry to a friends house. I think i offered breasting up as it looked full. G'day again!

I remember a time when, if you found a small plastic bag, with brown squidgy stuff in it, you got out your Rizlas.

I'm glad you remember that, yes it was me You'd just picked up your boat and were heading north for adventure. It's been nice seeing your journey online. Glad you are still enjoying yourself.
