Willow wilson 891 Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Years ago I had two pieces of advice given to me which I thought were irrelevant. The first was from my secondary school history master who said; the future is never what you expect it to be. The second, ten years later regarding a specific situation, was from my Dad who said; don't get married. In truth the veracity of the first covered the events following the second. :-( Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Willow wilson 891 Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 When promulgating your esoteric cogitations or articulating your superficial sentimentalities and amicable, philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversational communications demonstrate a clarified conciseness, a compact comprehensibleness, devoid of coalescent conglomerations of preciose garrulity, jejune bafflement and asinine affectations. Ensure that your extemporaneous verbal evaporations have lucidity, intelligibility and veracious vivacity without rondomontade or thespian bombast. Sedulously eschew all polysyllabic profundity, pompous propensity, psittaceous vacuity, ventriloqual verbosity and vaniloquent vapidity. Shun double entendre, obnoxious jocosity and pestiferous profanity, observable or apparent. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,089 Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Well we launched at Hoveringham sailing club and the water just rushed in. It took a lot of heaving to get a boat full of water onshore again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IAN FINN 792 Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Is the sailing club still at Hoveringham think i remember seeing many years ago mid 60s is that where the Hoveringham gravel pits were?. Did they have speed boat racing there as well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Didn't they have Hydroplane racing at the Water Sports Centre, Holme Pierrpont. I remember how busy we used to be, when I worked there as a Park Ranger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
