We had one in Ipswich as late as ten years ago when I had a seventeen year old and a ten year old. Loads of stock and loads of help and advice. It was huge and always busy.

Then it wasn’t there. I...

Ah - I know this one, Joe! I forget who told me, but if you move the thread to a different section of the Forum. eg Misc Boat Related, you can change the thread title and move it back.

There is a much simpler principle, which was stated by the Kenyan Ambassador to the United Nations on the 24th of February. It is simply this :

Irredentism as a casus belli is unacceptable.

We all think he must be, but it’s not like Joe to express himself so badly, if he is.

Joe, why do you hate Biden more than you hated Trump?

And here’s a vertical opposed piston engine

Another cellphone for dummies question:

An exchange of emails with a large and respected boatyard and marina:

Dear Deborah,


A Voicemail message from you, timed rather improbably at 23.31...

I am annoyed at the ceaseless sniping at JK Rowling. Her children’s books have a multi/ethnic bunch of children and a gay head teacher but she suggested that women’s toilets should be for women and...

It seems I am unlikely to run into the Conservative Minister For Culture Media and Sport Nadine Dorries, MP,at Glyndebourne, as “I’m a celebrity, get me out of here!” is more her thing, but I might...

I agree.

It’s good. I can’t comment on things that are outside my own field but when he wanders into my field he is careful and precise.

It is I think generally known that the British FI cottage industry got its real start not from Raymond Mays and ERA which morphed into BRM but from Tony Vandervell losing patience with Mays, going on...

I think your readers need to understand what you think a « commando » is.

Britain pulled all its military personnel out of Ukraine before the Russian invasion.

You might like to check on where Sir Oswald Moseley spent WW2, along with others who were adherent to the Nazis.

Why does anyone have a problem with AOC?

She is young, pretty and talented and she isn’t the child of one of your oligarchs. She says what most people actually think.

A gaff rigged working boat’s mast from the deck to the hounds was left bare and slushed with tallow so that the gaff jaws and the mast hoops would slide easily over it. The masthead didn’t have...

I really like Oban, and of course you must take the train.

It would be impertinent of me to tell you that your daughter can be very proud of that. I think the staging is very effective, too.

Of course I then turned to “O zittre Nacht” and there I think...

I would always want to visit the Western Isles.

Yes; there are some productions, still in the repertoire in some houses, which have a sort of 1980s “look” about them. They seem fusty and dusty. But changing the setting has to be done sensibly. For...

I agree with Jack; the fear comes afterwards as your system dumps a whole lot of adrenaline into your blood, which literally “runs cold” for a moment.

Do the Supremes eat breakfast and/or lunch together on days when they meet, or do they work from home now?

She is keeping up the left wing of the Democratic Party.

I think that’s an OK thing to do.

I think that production is too advanced for neophytes like me! Very impressive, but perhaps more a production for enthusiasts. As a young man, half a century ago, I was a spectator on the outer...

Is there a Native American version of that?

Ça doit être un Delahaye - peut-être le modèle 165? Français- et complètement de trop!

Well, up to a point! The 19th century saw huge numbers of skilled self employed hand loom weavers thrown out of work by the introduction of steam power.

She began as a steam launch, built in 1930 to replace a steam launch built in 1890. As you would expect in a boat built for the waters of Hong Kong, she’s carvel planked in teak. She was originally a...

Extremely good points.

I am a card carrying Union member. I know Nick (Peerie Ma) is too.

Posts #14 and #15 are on the money.

Snape is ten miles and a season ticket.

Glyndebourne (pronounced in the manner of Margaret Rutherford’s Lady Bracknell saying “ a hand…bag?” is something quite different.

Agreed. I was just saying that in an almost identical Constitution, it has been done

It can be done. The late Ninoy Aquino did it, at fairly huge cost, politically, to get rid of a Chief Justice who had been parachuted in by the outgoing President in a « midnight appointment » with a...

I never gave the place a second thought. Strictly for the rather small set of wealthy London opera lovers, all of whom I assume know one another and can afford to wreck a dinner jacket by sitting on...

I recall Joe Biden wanting to be like FDR.

Well, he’s got there, so far as the Supreme Court and the radio shock jocks go, but he lacks FDR’s thumping majority in both Houses.
