If you were passing us Ube, you'd have to give a long single blast
Beekay.. I love nothing then giving my horn a good long blast
... Which is quite often being that I'm a short arse on a 70footer

Me Mam and dad used to save up tanners and we'd fly off to Guernsey every year on the owd viscount.... First thing I did was to hire a push bike then bog off for the day, only saw mam n dad breakfast and evenings for the whole 2weeks......then I discovered that if I slipped a knife in the moneybox slot tipped the moneybox upside down tanners would come out..... It were me aunties in flipping South Wales from there on then!

Brew.... We're not anti-social... In fact I speak to anyone... I'm very much liked here.... Like Beekay says there is always a crowd about when ya cock it up and they all know better then you even though most have never been on a boat never mind steering a 70 footer with a speed wheel
Beekay thought I'd give em a chance with water

Yeh our girt can live in the butty with the 5 dogs.... Like the idea of the water cannon for the "gongoozlers" they're always there when I'm trying to "wind" me boat in the wind... Not easy with a slow revving thumper and 70ft

Went round a mates narrowboat the other day and he's got 4 cats.... I was sat there chatting when 2 of his cats took a dump in the litter tray then jumped up onto the kitchen work top walked across it and out the window.... My mate then threw a few slices of bread on the work top and started making sarnies.... "want a sandwich mate" he asked.... Sod that I was soon out of there!!! Proper NO

Dead animals are soon despatched by carrion eaters
Yes I agree.... But still you'd expect to see more.... And saying that there's been a dead duck on the towpath for days now, I suppose the "carrion eaters" aren't that eager to despatch ducks

Seeing the house floating down the river was tragic for the couple .
Advantage of living on a boat... Saying that though the Trent only came up 7 foot last month... But what ever it does I'm on top of it

Katyjay...... I totally agree with you.... And couples or family that throw insults at each other.... Didn't your mam ever tell you about "airing ya dirty laundry in public".... Oh and not forgetting the fake news on fb that everyone takes as gospel

Could be.... That's a lot foxes... But like where I am at the moment... Fox got a Swan on the opposite side of the river to me.. Ate a bit of it then the rest was there for near on a week until the trent came up and washed it away.... And just up the road two road Kills which haven't been touched.... Still makes me go "mmmm"
