Last seen Mr T at north fambridge on the 5th aug Where he was indulging in some refreshment then headed off to france for a cruising holiday, Perhaps he was arrested for the wrong kind of crusing
 
I think that he is sailing in France with TaniA. The week before last he did Boulogne and Dieppe with T and all the kids and left his boat in Brighton in readiness for this weeks trip.

Hope all goes well for you Nathan. We are off to Southwold tomorrow after 5 days in the Orwell and Deben.:)
 
Bloomin internet connections. Hi Nathan, Roger was right, have been indulging in a cruising fest on and off the last few weeks and currently tied up in Yarmouth IOW, having a blast. Bradwell/Fambridge/Ramsgate/Boulogne/Dieppe/Eastbourne/Brighton/Littlehampton/Cowes/Yarmouth can't be bad for a summer's jaunt in anyone's book. Looking at Brighton/Dover/Bradwell and back on Saturday at the moment. I did get your text and left a long message on your mobile but thinking about it now, that could well have been your old number ... hmmm. Brilliant progress by the way. Keep bearig left and probably at that moment when the accents become a complete mystery is the time to go hard to port and hit the canal. Too early and you might be in Berwick (good to see you didnt end up in the Humber). Too late and you might get to Newport before the Jester even starts. Take it easy.

Got your message. The accent has already gone a bit strange. I was listening to the fishermen on the radio, and it seems they don't use spaces between words, instead, they actually pronounce the gap with what I presume is a colloquial word - "fukern". I've yet to find out what it means though.

I think the word might have been "Firkin"?

I was always taught that this word, (a drinking word) when used, is a measure of excess! :o

You will often hear it used late at night outside pubs and clubs as people leave for the night. A Firkin long way home . . . firkin nice chick . . . firkin raining heavily ! :eek:

Look at Wikipedia for a fully explanation :D :D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firkin

"First Verse:

Here's good luck to the quart pot
Good luck to the Barley Mow
Jolly good luck to the quart pot
Good luck to the Barley Mow
Oh the quart pot, pint pot, half a pint, gill pot, half a gill, quarter gill, pipperkin and the brown bowl,
Here's good luck, good luck, to the barley mow

:rolleyes: :D :D :D
