Had to cancel my first full weekend onboard & visit to Rewind....trip was aborted then switched to just today.....son cried-off due to rain so no crew......so we went to watch the Reading match.....lost 0-2 to BARNSLEY! (also missing 2 penalties).....glad we didnt renew our season tickets this year.....

Possibly tomorrow?

Please say a wee prayer for me: don't care what religion.....any help accepted......must get out tomorrow....I'm geting withdrawal symptons and my stress levels are rising....next-door but one have live bands playing all day and into tonight.....

Thank God for beer:D
 
I am equally down. There was a plan to go to Twickenham, moor on Eel Pie Island, and take a box at the Quins v Leeds RL game. It was always going to be either a dominant Leeds giving a thrashing or a surprise upstart win. It was the latter - only the second time Quins RL have won in 20 games. But the plan didn't happen and I am still here on Church Island, nursing a beer.

....I cant believe I did this: transfered £60 to his bank account so he can get petrol to get home from Edinburgh....am I nuts?

People do the strangest things......
 
Got to the boat this afternoon. Oh sh!t forgot the borescope to see the timing marks, mirror to see the timing mark on the injection pump. No 3/8" hex driver for the blanking bung on the pump etc etc,,,, so back to Tunbridge Wells to the w/shop to collect, so 3x 35 mile journeys. At least SWMBO had some bolognese and wine ready upon my return. Sooo.... hopefully sort that darn stbd engine on the morrow after coffee and pain au chocolat. Nil chance of going out tho'
Joys of boats eh?
Maybe we should have a cr*p network. Who ever is suffering goes to anyone who is doing ok for a trip, or to ***** up their weekend too :D

what a pain in the bum! But I bet the spag bog and red was worth the effort...specially if you're eating/drinking on-board.

D'you think the people having a GREAT weekend would be pi$$ed off with us??
 
Luxury! I got woken up by text messages from Rebellion telling me about his problems with Silver Dragon at 03:30 in the morning.....ok, it was 11:30 am for you guys. :confused:

I got a text from him when I was having a late brunch to say he was off to bed after a tough day... Ahhhhh!

Oh and it's 107 degrees F here and now I have to go sit by the pool and drink beer. :cool:

That's a shame, Village People and Holly Johnson were particularly good!!!
 
To add insult to injury, my oldest committed to coming down to Henley for the afternoon and a BBQ along the river somewhere.

Walked the dogs....puppy now swimming...picked some bands for Reading Festival next weekend. When Matt finallly got up at 12.30, I tried to chivvy him along so we could get going.

'Oh I decided not to go today.'

Gee thanks....another wasted day....I need to learn how to handle the boat through locks on my own so I'm not dependent on this useless bunch of landlubbers.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
