Not in the slightest, you were just spouting shit - as Norman ππ’π¨π» What shit did I spout, just as a matter of interest? Oh you mean the bit where i was giving you a taste of your own medicine. Yup, you are definitely one of those who can give it but not take it. Probably something to do with your potty training. Where is your dad, perhaps he can illuminate us on the point? It's comments like this that mark you out for the person you are. Let's have some quotes then. I replied to all your factually incorrect posts with factually correct statements. No emotion, no upset, no outrage, just plain and simple statements of fact - being an engineer that's all that needs dealing with, we don't all have skin as thin as you. I'm surprised you got on as well as a pilot, a highly strung drama queen can't be ideal to entrust the lives of others. As far as my dad goes, he managed to produce a fairly rounded individual who is knocking on 40, has a family and a reasonably responsible job with a middling amount of authority in that post (just the way I like it too) he's old enough and wise enough to let me fight my own corner, having taught me to stand on my own two feet as a teenager. Knowing him as well as I do he's unlikely to wade in and call you out as a bitter old queen, just as I wouldn't.

Bit like a Hudson then (humour in case it gets lost) Looks like it did get lost

I liked MJG's post with the photos. It shows effort.

You have to wonder why Nick is so bitter. Hes had a very privliged life, had a good education (allegedly.) Had interesting well paid work, is well off in his retirement. But isn't happy with his life and takes it out on other people. It is really sad, oh well it takes all sorts I suppose.

Just to clarify the situation I would like to point out if I may that nothing MJG ever posts on here is remotely worthwhile or valid in any way whatsoever. It's just how it is. Anyone could cruise past a canalside building and take pictures of it. All you need is a camera. In fact you could probably get the same sort of pictures by parking the caravan nearby and walking the towpath.

Err no, I realise you are just a young whipper-snapper but when I first started boating (when the sperm you were made from had yet to leave your dadβs testicles) leisure canal boats were mostly cruisers, either wood or latterly grp. Then purpose-built leisure steel narrowboats came along and cruisers remained the choice boat of only either old crusties who only went out from their βyacht clubsβ of a sunny Sunday afternoon (IWA types) or poor people. Everyone else realised that steel leisure narrowboats were the appropriate horse for the course. But of course Iβm sure you think you know better than the vast majority. The young always do. An Ormelite is an excellent boat, but totally shunned by the vast majority who want to get afloat, not because it isn't (or wasn't) fit for purpose, the market changed and narrow GRP cruiser production tailed off. I know very little about boats but I have the feeling a heavy steel narrowboat will sit more in the water and be more stable, not bob about like a plastic pot. If we had a plastic/GRP/fibreglass/resin boat we'd be really careful not to bang into things like the stonework at the entrances to locks. That must be really tiring. We try to be careful as it is, but our old battlehorse can take a few bangs - and then I can quickly slap some black paint on to hide the evidence.

Could be something as simple as he's only blessed with an exceedly small penis and was named Justin in a former life?π He could indeed just enjoy Trolling or more likely, he's possibly just a 'sad old Blowhard' Either way....I enjoy his postings on hereπ

Christ! I'd be a bit touchy about the whole rivet thing if I'd been tucked up to the tune of Β£800 for them. Β£800? Really? Β£800? Wow! That's got to have been the most profitable bit of the whole boat! I think glueing on a selection of metal beer bottle tops would have been more artistic. Β£800 = 80 bags of coal.

I liked MJG's post with the photos. It shows effort. Effort is very overvalued. Believe it or not I got awarded the school prise for effort. The numptys thought my O level results were due to my hard work - well if drinking alcohol down the park with some mates is hard work I can cope with hard work!

An Ormelite is an excellent boat, but totally shunned by the vast majority who want to get afloat, not because it isn't (or wasn't) fit for purpose, the market changed and narrow GRP cruiser production tailed off. Β I know very little about boats but I have the feeling a heavy steel narrowboat will sit more in the water and be more stable, not bob about like a plastic pot. If we had a plastic/GRP/fibreglass/resin boat we'd be really careful not to bang into things like the stonework at the entrances to locks. That must be really tiring. We try to be careful as it is, but our old battlehorse can take a few bangs - and then I can quickly slap some black paint on to hide the evidence. John is your man, he's done plenty of miles in Shapfell without being shipwrecked. Northern Star most recently did the Leicester Ring, my brother managed to not be shipwrecked either. I chose the Ormelite as an example for a very good reason, it has to be about the finest narrowbeam cruiser to be layed up in Fibreglass, no real handling vices (apart from leaning like a battleship to the outside of a turn full lock full throttle - an odd sensation that you won't get on a narrow canal!) Superb quality of construction and fit out. Easy for novices to quickly get to grips with. Very very strong, like most quality GRP boats (they aren't at all eggshell like despite the repeated bollox spouted) It's a shame they didn't sell more, the product was excellent, unfortunately the market changed and the rest is history. You'd be absolutely fine with Shapfell π’π»π

until you have the opportunity to call someone thick, lazy, stupid, poor whatever. I did throw in the word 'bitchy' last week - anyone remember? I like Nick's posts. I think he just sets out to be amusing, and I'm slightly taken aback to see people swallowing the hook, line and sinker. So what if his boat has fake rivets and doesn't really look like a 'real working boat'? How many here go up to a lady in a burka and say "You don't look like a real woman?" If it's OK to have Luton, Dewsbury and Birmingham look like a fake version of Saudi Arabia, then it's also OK for a boat to look like something it isn't. There are members of this forum who have the piss taken out of them far more than TellyMackus and they seem to cope with it without throwing all their toys out of the pram.
