Oh I thought I saw 18ft in the link for some reason. These ones look okay but hells teeth what a ballache to get on and off it ! Specially bearing in mind they are quite tender.. Nice hulls on these. Creative Marine 18ft Frolic class. Normally fitted with electric drive but ideal for steam. I had a 21ft Frolic that had been converted to diesel (Yanmar single cylinder), I sold it because the noise gave me a headache, now I'm exclusively leccy powered. As you say, a lovely hull shape. Manufactured in Norfolk but very popular around Henley, day hire and privately owned.

please could you provide a list of puppet IDs associated with original member names.
TB seems to have descended into no more than a place where unidentifiable twats slag each other off.
I respect those who post under their original usernames even if a lot of what they have to say is a load of shite.
Poor choice of who to direct your question to, . . . one of the Thunderboat's foremost lying moronic psychopaths who is known for his prolific use of aliases and sock puppets. Did you really expect any kind of response ?
well, as you seem to be so in touch with the vagaries of socks, puppets and twats, perhaps you could oblige.
PS: the forum was well-named, but now it's all thunder and no boats. a bit like stage 4 cancer - incurable but in this case not even receiving palliative care.

It's quite easy to work out who it is, for most people. please could you provide a list of puppet IDs associated with original member names.

Anyway, Merry Christmas to those who deserve such. Although the list does seem rather short this year!
is it of any relevance that this so-called map resembles a well-wrinkled mouldy penis with phimosis of the foreskin and some nasty fungal growths (demonstrating a lack of personal hygiene)?

I rather fear that this year it might be a disappointment 'cos my daughter and her family are supposed to be flying in from New York today but I have yet to find out if their flight has been cancelled. Otherwise we are all booked to have Xmas dinner at the Beetle and Wedge on the banks of the Thames.
I bring you all glad tidings of my family's movements, not that any of you argumentative sods give a damn. Dorter, hubby and 2 irrepressible young sons arrived LHR shortly before midnight on Xmas Eve, having been delayed on the stand at the departure gate for 5 hours while the airport ground maintenance struggled to fill up the domestic water tank on the plane because the contents of the service water tanker was frozen solid ........................ and the B&W Xmas dinner was a great success.

and a Happy fucking Merry grouch day to you too, whoever you are hiding under a recently new ID.
Happy Christmas, Badger! Quite unusual to get a card from Darkest Scandinavia!
Badger ? .......................... not me - since moving to my riverside holt in Oxfordshire my bestest neighbour is actually Mr C. Badger. Would you like me to pass your good wishes on to him?
there is still time for you to learn to spel proper like.

I don't do Christmas, I'm an atheist. The wider commercial world does so that means there's no work to do which in turn means a week or so just dossing around, which is fine. But I have no tree, no tinsel, no mince pies and I'm provisionally expecting to have poached eggs on Marmite toast for Christmas dinner as the eggs and bread are short-dated and need using up.
I'm an atheist but recognise that the winter festive season has its roots in secular societies but was later adopted by the god-botherers and fearers who then limited the season to what they called Christmas. The festive season used to extend for two or more months in Northern Europe during a period when preserved foods (prepared during the harvesting season) were plentiful and there was little to do on the land during the short cold days other than feeding the livestock and milking the cows and goats before stuffing yourself full of beer and sweetmeats in front of a blazing log fire.

Poached eggs on Marmite toast sounds nice - when I was a lad Mum used to make poached egg on a bed of spinach on a (slightly soggy) piece of buttered Marmite toast. Yummee. Mince pies with custard, cream and a slab of very mature cheddar cheese is basic fare for at least 2 weeks around this time of year,

And the 'gigoguy' alien-picking-his-nose avatar is back, with user name gigoguy restored. Note the small g, after it was pointed out that the original gigoguy did not use a big G. Although once he reads this he'll probably change it yet again. It's a bit odd, pretending to be other people all of the time. "Impostor syndrome is a psychological occurrence in which an individual has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a fraud."
a constructive comment at last from the chicken rustler - keep it up please!

I know it will never happen but my dearest wish is that the trolls and time-wasters will take a break (or even better disappear up their own arseholes), hopefully encouraging those who appreciate having an alternative to the other channel, and where they can feel welcome and free to express themselves on relevant (to them) matters without the currently inevitable outpouring of shit, vomit and bile that represents most of the content of replies to the original post.
If my wish is not granted then this place will fester and eventually die.
So much for self-moderation.
The other place is the alternative to this cesspit. You don't appear to have even said hello. No Dunk and no Ross. What's not to like? Although the sock-puppeteer lurks daily. And it doesn't mean you can't post here as well, to employ a double negative, while saying nothing of the split infinitive...
WTF ?? to whom ? perhaps you expect a personal greeting every time you change your ID ?
I've only been here for 6 years - not quite a founder member but not far off. Same goes for the other channel where in days of yore the likes of Gibbo and Gary Peacock offered expert advice and were respected for it.

So-called 'self-moderation' wasn't wholly successful with TB thanks to the fact that the gormless majority of the active membership chose to pander to the mindless idiots instead of jumping on their necks and shutting them up before too much harm was done, . . and that includes you. If you're tempted to do something that will reverse the present decline, . . stop bellyaching and get on with it.
no comment ...
