42 feet of pure prettiness

[Alan de Enfield]

I'm filling up on fuel and wot nots on Wednesday then leaving early Thursday morning.

 

Not enough funds to leave this week. Apparently I am such a special Moonbeam I have been moved onto PIP. Hope to get a weekend job when I get to the marina area, even if I can't park there I can lurk up and down during winter and think of ways and different marinades to get Mr Cuthound

 

If you qualify for PIP then there may well be a number of other benefits you can claim.

 

I know of several who get their mooring fees, boat licence and insurance all paid for - worth asking your 'moonbeam handler' about it.

Don't forget the chianti, goes well with kidneys apparently.

 

According to that nice Anthony Hopkins anyway

[MissMax]

Thank you Mr Enfield. I will ask about it.

But it is Cuthound. A can of Special Brew should do the trick

 

 

I used the chain that i was going to use on Mr Peterboat to attach to my chimney

 

 

 

Hope (black cat) has been in twice, but not on the same day

 

 

 

Decided to be a big girl and use the bed tonight (did check and spray for spiders)

 

 

Only the cats have used it so far

 

Hard to get comfy on the settee with the adopted one

 

 

 

 

I don't think the cats are going to like the new sleeping arrangements

 

 

 

 

If anyone wants to take my dog and bring her back when she is normal (just like me) give me a shout (I hear Jamboats arm shooting up at the back )

I don't like Special Brew, at the very least it should be Timothy Taylor's Landlord.

 

(Assuming Zeus will let you get near me without him eating you).

[MissMax]

Zeus won't eat me. I'm 90% Bitumen

[Nightwatch]

Tar for that!

[MissMax]

Wonderd why the GPS device on Nightwatch wasn't working properly. Airport security must have removed it

 

How do all of you (most of you) know all these boaty things off by heart?

 

Nothing makes sense on a boat, nothing behaves like it's supposed to (or like the magazines say)

 

Mr Nightwatch is sitting on some beach with the love of his life drinking Ribena from a coconut while I'm here in Blighty checking my torches still work and doing my hourly spider search

 

If I'm suffering, so should everyone else (out of sympathy)

 

The Tescos Sweet and Sour chicken with egg fried rice that I had for breakfast has come back to haunt me. I may not be long for this world (it came out my nose). I'm going to curl up with a bucket and hope nothing else happens

I'm in another County not Country. There ain't no beaches here me dear.

 

I like Ribena.

 

Get yourself off to Barnoldswick ASAP, you will find life a lot better. They sell diesel,have water and all sorts of stuff. A toilet!!! Elsan point. Small Chandlery.

 

Have you had the solar fitted. I would guess they will come to Lower whatsitsname Marina to fit it.

So as well as the same stove as me you also have the same engine. Both are good'uns in my experience. Wish I could help with your cauliflower problem but another thing we have in common is total ignorance in these things.

[cuthound]

Spidergate +3 and I still have two kidneys.

 

Added a little blacking to Zeus' breakfast this morning, to get him used to the taste, just in case.

 

You can't be too careful!

[Nightwatch]

Max. Get on the move this weekend. Bound to be boats on the move to help with the locks.

[The Bearwood Boster]

We want Miss Max, we want Miss Max,we want Miss Max etc?

[Phil Ambrose]

We want Miss Max, we want Miss Max,we want Miss Max etc?

Yeah!!!

Channel 5 is totally missing a trick. She's amazing and we want a documentary :-)

[MtB]

I'm a bit worried about Missmax.

 

She bought the boat because it was 42ft of pure blue prettiness then proceeded to paint it back.

 

Gurls... HOPELESS.

Good morning Mike, probably due to the time of the day, you've missed an "l", as I'm sure you wanted to write black.

 

Maybe while planning her paint job Max listened to an old Stones record "Paint it black", and thought after all "Black is beautiful".

Perhaps she is colour blind?

Its all because .............

 

The survey, and several members of this parish told her "it needs Blacking", and being a 'Good-Girl' she did as she was told

 

Simples !!!

[QCat]

It's been painted to coordinate with the cats :-)

[cuthound]

Day 4 since Spider gate, and I still have 2 kidneys.

 

Worrying that MissMax hasn't posted since yesterday.

 

I wonder if she is moving south and coming for me?...

Morning Peter, you are of course dead right I meant to type 'black'. I'll refrain from commenting '"Boys, HOPELESS" and instead think up a string of excuses starting with it was late and I'd had a small glass of Merlot.

 

I'll leave it unedited or this thread will make no sense! (Did it ever?)

She's busy painting the boat BLUE again, obviously....

[NealSmith100]

No - it is clearly the spiders from Mars giving her orders to paint it black ready for the spider overlords to come down and make it the base from which they lay the eggs to hatch the spider super soldiers who will launch their Earth takeover plan.

 

Anyone would be sure to be suspicious of a blue boat, but a black one.......? Its genius!

 

I'll have to go offline now before they send her to come for me too.....

Last i heard she was coming your way with a tin of blacking................................................

[Nightwatch]

I actually,like others, think she's doing really well. Made a few mistakes but able to laugh about them and put herself in the firing line. I certainly wouldn't be coping as well under the same circumstances. I wouldn't be at all surprised if she feels a little hurt by some of the comments directed her way. She's a tough cookie, on a very steep learning curve and needs all the helpful advice she can get. Humour, on this thread, is the best ever. But think of Max who is continually the subject, when things get on top of you for real, constant digs can boil you over.

I think there is a good story here, good or otherwise, to be published but let's get Max on the road to happy boating. Max is aware of my advice to get to a mooring with hook up and tradesmen who can sort things. As always money may be an issue, but hey ho! it always is.

 

Max, if you're reading this, chin up, yep,all of them! and come back on the forum. Last nights story, although a bit stressful for you,is quite funny after the event.
