Supply boat Callisto

[canalboat]

Does anyone know where the fuel boat Callisto is? Haven't seen him lately and he's not answering his phone.

Possibly moored at Claydon unless I'm thinking of the wrong boat, has been there for some time, I think at Gregg Klaes' wharf.

Not knowingly. There are a couple of rows of boats moored three abreast there, I thought it was one of those.

I thought Gunby was a character in Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Holliday, never heard of such a thing. You'd think he'd seen enough water.

I think you may have the spelling sightly confused!

Similarly I once fitted a boiler for a Mr nd Mrs Fortey.

 

They too were heartily chuffed off with John Cleese.

i used to regularly travel abroad on business with a Mr Bean.

Fortunately he could handle the very obvious implications of having that name, because even customs fficers couldn't resist "'aving a larf".

Like my daughter's friend who was stopped by the police for speeding. The policeman asked for her Christian name, which is Lisa, then he asked for her surname, which is Simpson! The copper thought he'd caught a 'live' one.

You'll find it's a village in Lincolnshire where my great great grandfather was born, learnt the saddlery trade and moved to Slaithwaite. There is a hall there which I hope to inherit one day but feel my hopes will ultimately founder.

Barrow hasn't been there since the summer Mike.

He wasn't green, then.

Seen Mark on foot today at Foxton heading towards the car park, so clearly not on the water at present.

[Alway Swilby]

On 31st August he told me he was going camping for a fortnight. Should be finished about now.
