We wouldn't mind, except he's not roof trained, and it means we have a weeks worth of partially digested crabs and other crap (literally) to clear off the roof every time we want to use the boat, and it stinks. The blob on the nav light mast is a plastic owl that is supposed to scare gulls off..... Wouldn't netting over the top solve the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you must have missed my "spikes" post. get the whole roof spiked, it'll be much better than the softly, softly hammock approache and to be honest less messy (but not totally mess free) than blowing its head off.

But to be frank i wonder if the ladies are only up there for a better mobile signal..... if so problem solved - the spikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Horizondave Posted September 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2023 Sitting in Cathay Pacific lounge at Heathrow. My flight to Helsinki departs in 100 mins. Happy they checked my bags through to Bangkok. I am overnighting in Helsinki so just having hand luggage only is brilliant. Flight out of Helsinki is 1345 tomorrow. I am just going to enjoy myself, I need it. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemondropkid Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Breathing a sigh of relief that I factored in the possibility of a train strike, booking my Thailand flight next month. Fly on October 4th, but travelling down to London on the train on the 3rd. As if by magic a stike has been called for Oct 4th!!! 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasseye Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Listening to the patter of rainfall outside my door. The patterns have increase the past few days. Seems like we get three very heavy rainfalls a day now. Counting the days until this season is over. Kind of nice to watcht though when you don't have to go anywhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Dangleberries Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I have just strolled across to my friend's food cart to catch him before he sets off for the night.. I wanted some taut man pli/pla/moo to snack on watching the footie tonight but the bastard didn't cook any!! I normally drain the fat off for an hour and let them cool down before putting them in the fridge.. Kick off in 2 hours so they'd have been perfect .. Bastard ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boydeste Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 All set up at the new lake and it's pissing it down. Total contrast to the past couple of weeks. Also just seen a huge rat walk by like it didn't have a care in the world. Well it will have if it takes a shine to the bait in my trap. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maipenrai Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Woke up to a grey, windy and slightly wet autumn morning with 4C at 0800 - quick blast downtown to do some grocery shopping when it's quiet, no way will I even think of doing this in the afternoon; it would be a good pub day but I have to work tonight at 1930 so I'll just have a quiet one at home instead. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painter Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Took a mate to the most remote marina in the harbour to pick up his new boat earlier. It's that remote it gets a hour of water either side of high tide if they're lucky. He said he knew the channel.... I suppose us bouncing on the bottom might have taken some of the end of season weed off the bottom as we entered I dropped him off and scarpered. He rang an hour later.... he might get off the mud at about midnight.... Fortunately his new boat has a cabin and is comfortable for his stay on the mud.... 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesitisdakid Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Getting ready to go to the airport 3 weeks away Vietnam again.

Yessongs Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Gym this morning, Sunday is a good day for me. On this one "Body Pump" class at 11:00am, there is probably a 100 women there.....amazing. Last Sunday these gals asked me if I could take a pic of them with their cell phones, I did and then asked if I could take one with my camera....all is well, then they asked me if I wanted to go to lunch with them after our work out. I was born at night..................................but it wasn't last night! I could see one of my neighbors seeing me sitting with "3 birds" They would sell me out in a New York Minute to wifey. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
