I was fascinated to learn that some type of insurance issue had prevented me from cruising this Summer because I thought I had decided to work through this year in order to build up my savings ahead of my projected retirement in exactly one year's time tomorrow. Silly me.

I'm not sure about next year yet although I might work through. I have actually enjoyd having a Summer on the mooring far more than I thought I would so maybe. I'll decide after Christmas.

Ah ... should have guessed. Working's not so bad when you know you can just walk away if you wish. Slam Transport seem OK as an employer too 👍🏻 Must be nice to have a 'settled period' too so the lads know where you'll be when they have a bit of free time. Rog

Working's not so bad when you know you can just walk away if you wish. I could pack up work now, I've got enough in savings to see me though until my state pension kicks in although there's no reason not to build my savings up a bit more and build up a safety buffer rather than depleting what I have. I probably won't even retire when I get to 66 if I can keep passing the HGV medical, which I will have to do annually from then onwards, I do actually enjoy work, there's just the right amount of social contact, like 20 minutes or so and then I'm on my own again.

I was going to go home this evening in preparation for driving down to the boat on Tuesday, but we had a visit from the Army today and they would like to do an exercise on the airfield involving Apache helicopter gunships - loading and unloading munitions etc, refuelling, casevack by Merlin, all as part of a training exercise. So it will all be jolly exciting and I will have to stay and watch the soldier boys playing with their choppers. And they are giving us £500 for the pleasure.

For some reason not yet discovered or known, [Mr Stubby] also tells, and repeatedly publishes on the internet, lies about where and who he works for as a driver. Whilst pretending that he works for a company called Slam Transport I can help you with that. I've said if before, and I know you know I've said it before, but I don't mind rubbing your face in it again because it's still funny. The Slam Transport gag was constructed in response to your creepy stalking shit (who even does that?) in the expectation that you would call them up in an attempt to stir some shit. And of course, you did make that call. And we know you did. All in all a brilliant joke enjoyed by many, especially before you twigged it. It still gives us a laugh - and all entirely at your expense - every time you profess ignorance. You're only pretending to yourself. 🙄 What a prize cunt you are.

Yes basically Tony it was like the "John Robinson" thing, just a prank we concocted between ourselves to waste your time.

On 12 August 2024, psychopath, pervert, and pathological liar, Vince 'Shit-for-Brains' Coventon, also known by his own chosen internet name of ' Mr Stabby' - posted the following blatant lie in the pages of this forum :- " I live in a house in Kent where I pay Council Tax and am on the electoral register."______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Fact is, that despite claiming to live in Kent, . . in a house for which he says he pays Council Tax, and is on the electoral register, . . this psychopathic pervert has in truth for the last 9(+) years lived permanently, full time, on board a canalboat for which he can't obtain compulsory third party insurance due to not having what insurance underwriters define as having 'an insurable interest' in the boat. To get round this insurance problem at every annual renewal, Coventon obtains a technically worthless insurance certificate from his insurers by means of a less than completely truthful Proposal declaring that he owns the boat, with which he then usually succeeds in conning C&RT into believing that he's complying with the third party cover requirements in the boat Licence T&C's. In the early part of this year C&RT became aware of the problem with the invalid third party insurance cover on the boat, and that is what kept Shit-for-Brains at home on his mooring all of this year, . . instead of going out on his usual Summer cruise. Coventon shares this uninsured boat (which is owned by someone else who probably does actually live in Kent) with a life-size inflatable rubber doll, and moors and keeps it for most of every year, with a number of other residential boats, on the field moorings at Colehurst Farm, Rugby, CV23 0PT, alongside the (North) Oxford Canal, close to the villages of Stretton-under-Fosse and Brinklow. For some reason not yet discovered or known, 'Shit-for-Brains' Coventon also tells, and repeatedly publishes on the internet, lies about where and who he works for as a driver. Whilst pretending that he works for a company called Slam Transport, with depots in Coventry, Darlington, Dunfermline, Gourock, and York, the truth is that he's employed by a specialist logistics company called Hi-Speed Services whose Midlands depot is on Swift Valley Industrial Estate in Rugby. For anyone understandably wanting to give this serious nutter the widest possible berth, this 'selfie' photo of him waving a (Army rifle) bayonet around in public on the stern of his uninsured borrowed boat will be helpful in identifying him :- "Unlike some here, I fully understand the Law and do not think that different interpretations of it apply to me."

Tony Dunkley is a well-known dangerous crank, bankrupt and fraud, and possessed of a most unpleasant demeanour stemming from personality disorders we can only speculate on (although some unfortunate experiences in childhood would seem to be the most likely cause). He offers advice to the unwary on a variety of boat-related subjects that, should you be foolish enough to believe and follow it, will likely see you separated from your boat at the soonest opportunity, or perhaps at the least, possess an engine worth no more than its scrap value, or simply a pile of components. His track-record of interactions with the Canal and River Trust is woeful, having lost two boats of his own to legal action he professes to this day was and is an abuse of authority. Notwithstanding these well-documented failures, he continues to promote the belief that he was and is right in every aspect, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. In the strongest possible terms, should you find yourself in dispute with the Canal and River Trust, accepting the advice of this self-appointed expert is, on any aspect, highly inadvisable. To date, the amount of boat owners Dunkley has assisted in preventing the C&RT from successfully executing a S.8 procedure is ZERO. NADA. NONE. If you are the recipient of a s.8 notice, it's likely already too late. The best advice is probably to remove your boat from C&RT-controlled waters as quickly as possible. Because if you don't, they will. And you won't get it back. Should you find yourself in contact with this lune, the best possible course of action is to immediately reject all further discourse, however it may present. While such matters remain as his core contention, he has also recently focussed on the operation of the 'Ribble Link'. Unsurprisingly only he knows how to safely navigate the partly tidal waters while everybody else is entirely clueless. He would love to test his theories with your boat and your life. Do not become his useful idiot. If those in charge tell you that on any given day passage is either not possible or not allowed, accept their advice. Dunkley will not hesitate to place you and your boat in jeopardy merely to satisfy his own twisted agenda. Despite attempts to claim or suggest otherwise, Tony Dunkley is in no way part of or affiliated to any boatyard or advertised marine services of any sort, and neither is he operating any kind of business relating to marine activities. Perhaps more importantly, he most definitely does not have any type of business insurance, and thus any eventuality arrived at through following his advice will be entirely at your expense. If you wish to spend many hours you will never get back reading absolute drivel peppered with psuedo-legalistic bollocks designed to confuse and impress the credulous, feel free to browse through nearly a decade of posts by this most persistent and implacable of obsessive trolls. However if you still believe Tony Dunkley is the crucible of truth in which C&RT will inevitably burn, then salute. You are clearly a person of great intellect, sagacity and wit. Fortune beckons. For a more positive but tragically laughable perspective of the life and times of Anthony Dunkley, refer to www.narrowboatworld.com, where you will find several badly-written and wildly inaccurate articles authored by his somewhat deluded supporter. Everybody has one, after all.
