Now this is me being what my children refer to as "sad". Didn't Norman Shelly play Col. Danby in the Archers and do his Churchill impersonation whilst sitting on the banks of the Am watching the boats drift by? I could have been mistaken or confused whilst trying to scrape 60 years worth o...

What about a scriptwriters conference sinking with all hands?

Are they sound effects cobbled together with odds and ends from a shed dropped into sinks of water? Or is it a collection of genuine recordings?

Brian is brilliant, good businessman and worth knowing in order meet the totty of the day!. I reckon he would make a great skipper on a racing yacht and would certainly know how to entertain his crew apres sail.

I think they have everything and what Underwoods doesn't stock isn't worth having!

He might try his luck with a Moth except his very large head might not get under the boom.

Methinks someone in Ambridge needs a very fast, quick tacking dinghy to escape down the River Am. Suggestions on a post to M Crawford Ambridge.

Mine is upside down getting another coat of varnish so he can't have mine.

Yep, isa GP and yep the blade is in the stock the wrong way. I use a GP blade for one of my Merlins and never thought about doing that, is there an advantage? Perhaps my 18' N12 could use a rudder like that especially when I set the 165 sq ft of canvas on her.

Rupert. always remember that with The America's Cup "Britian rules the waves but America waives the rules!" There has been more legal fees paid out for that damnable and ugly bit of tin than for any other competition barring perhaps that procession known as Formula One. Some say rules are ...

Pat, I will pop in to the duct tape factory and see if I can get some red tape for you. I will also see if they have any varnish colour for one of my boats!

Good morning folks. And as I write this I look out of my window to the sunrise in the east and a day in the wonderful micro climate of NE Essex. I was told not so long ago when fuel prices were rising that motoring in the UK relative to average incomes is still below the cost of motoring in 1950's t...

You know what? We at Brightlingsea had a very large laser particle collide with Mercury and the result was a very agitated and exceedingly animated Bob and Sue. The energy produced was enough to .............well................ fill out a claim form or two at one sitting.

Very to quite

Well, we made it through the day here in the middle of Colchester, no black holes nor rapidly moving particles.

Now I must away home to see if that has been particulated and all that remains is my collection of ally masts and booms!

£640! Struth Bob you can buy a new one for £172 10 0 according to the ad in front of me and its made near you too at Plycraft Clevedon.

Oh my, I have just noticed the date of the magazine, August 1959! Sorry if this got you all excited.

Scare stories abound, just like that Millenium Bug con. I had numerous "de-buggers" trying to get me to part with £££££ to protect my computer. They wanted twice the cost of a new system! When told that I would merely back up a few days before "the day" then if it did go caput bu...

Glad you two got back safely. That lightweight c/b fascinates me so I look forward to hearing what Chris does with it. A small hole and a view via endascope would settle this curiosity. Or he could just dismantle it!! For those interested the c/b is from an early Merlin, probably a roller type but a...
