You Really Should All........

Last weekend was boat weekend, this weekend was:-
a) Looking for an inflatable on the net and making phone calls
b) Looking for an outboard on the net and making phone calls
c) Looking for a new car on the net and making phone calls
d) Printing off membership forms and rules for a Youth Club I'm starting next Friday.
e) Looking for a new puter on the net.
f) and a bit of posting in between.
Would I rather be on MY boat - YES
But did I get an invite to go on YOUR boat with you - NO.

Don't call me "Ian"
Cleopatra - yellow hull called Court Jester. Have you seen her ?
 
Cant believe 120 posts. I've been here umpteen times and seen very few. Just got all ready for the Pop Group Annual Fishing trip. Then as a second thought decided to look at the weather. It's bloody storms and gales all bloody week. So we've canceled it. Bugger, Bl**dy B**ger, B**ger.

No one can force me to come here-----------

Re: Alright then..

..why not organise a get together. Would have to be regional though. North South East West and inland sort of. Theres enough people knocking around to at least meet once and have a pint....or two!

Wha'dya mean "I'm always playing with this engine" its the only way to get it to run!
 
Well just got back from Poole, and see 108 posts. Picked wrong lane on M27 road works, stationary for half an hour, ugh!

Condor Ferries had a high speed cat tied up to quay, inviting passers by on board, including down in one engine room. Wow there's some engines, no Volvos there, just 4 Ruston V10's 10,000hp each at 980 rpm. Burn 150 litres a mile at 42 knots. Also 4 Caterpillar 250KW gen sets. Very intersting engineer showing us around, knows his stuff, he wouldn't be there otherwise.
 
Sorry Dom......didnt intend this for you - can understand if it hit a raw nerve though!.

I'm thinking of starting MoBoChat Anonymous as an addicts help group but worried that they might finish up being addicts about being addicts............

Taking BarryH's idea of a 'meet up' a stage further, maybe we could set up regional groups in areas where there are enough folk to make it worthwhile eg Solent / West Country / Thames / River Wissey etc. (Adrian might feel a bit lonely though...........)

I was only joking any way. Hope to be able to make some headway this week with my claim.
