Heard that someone punched Robbie Savage when he was on his way to watch United last weekend.
Thoroughly unpleasant behaviour from the puncher, but still, it's Robbie Savage.

Been a shxt day so far, but one little ray of sunshine is sending off for a new model ship kit. Keep me out of bother for a while.

Done the Endeavour and an English slave chaser so I've gone for a French Xebec (used both by the navy and Corsairs in the Med). Very fast but my slave-chaser will nail her in no time....and being French and all, will blow her out of the water.thebish wrote:which one this time?TANGODANCER wrote:Been a shxt day so far, but one little ray of sunshine is sending off for a new model ship kit.

Re: Today I'm happy about......
Lots of builders prefer no sails, but I'll maybe have some in the furled position. Xebecs had lateen (triangular) sails,similar to Arab Dhows.thebish wrote:presumably there are sails as well as pennants?TANGODANCER wrote:Oh, it will be, fear not.Bruce Rioja wrote:Shouldn't it be on its side then, with a 4ucking big hole in it?TANGODANCER wrote:I've gone for a French Xebec

Re: Today I'm happy about......
Spent* a couple of hours insulating the loft this morning so going to be warm and cozy and save thousands on my fuel bills this winter!
Special offer on top-up space blanket type insulation at B&Q where it's just £6 for a monster roll of the stuff. Full loft took just five rolls and its now almost a foot deep with it.
* Well, my wife actually did the work whilst I stood in the hatch and supervised. I'm far too big and clumsy to be crawling about in a loft space

You'll find a big difference C.I.G. Had cavity insulation done as well as loft insulation and the difference is absolutely amazing.clapton is god wrote:Spent* a couple of hours insulating the loft this morning so going to be warm and cozy and save thousands on my fuel bills this winter!

Re: Today I'm happy about......
Summat I need to do, is that. Bizarrely, new house has cavity wall insulation but only about 2 cm of loft insulation. Can you not claim some money towards this kind of thing?
May the bridges I burn light your way

Don't quote me but I think you need to be either elderly or on benefits to claim for a grant like that.Bruce Rioja wrote:Summat I need to do, is that. Bizarrely, new house has cavity wall insulation but only about 2 cm of loft insulation. Can you not claim some money towards this kind of thing?
