Frangar disapproves of Thunderboat:"As I thought.....im now going for a bath as i feel dirty after that visit....." "I wiped my feet on the way out as I didnt want to spread the muck onto the towpath.....there still seems to be an odour though....." Doesn't seem very good with English grammar. Frangar needs to get a life, TB is down to earth, yes there is the odd swear word but a snowflake would be perfectly safe here though I don't think he would be easily accepted for making such I'll conceived comments Phil

Why bother?
Some things/people are just not worth the waste of effort, Phil.
Get Abi on to it, just for the crack - better still, young Harry!

I have sometimes wondered how insurance companies work out this kind of vehicle accident. Say there are 5 cars in a line waiting at traffic lights (A B C D E) and car F comes along at speed and crashes into the last car in the line, car E. And the whole lot concertinas. Is car B responsible for the damage to car A? Is car C responsible for the damage to car B? etcetera..... or is car F responsible for the whole lot? What if car D didn't have his handbrake on, which would have possibly stopped him colliding into car C? My understanding is that cars A to E would all claim off car F. He’s the one who caused all of the damage.

It was grim to say the least, the top half of the biker went over the car the bottom bit including the bike was in the back seat! Marie and her twin ended up in hospital from injuries and shock, but the cops were really good, I arrived to pick them up as the cops were taking statements and he assured them everybody would be claiming from the bikers insurance, which is what happened

Do they all jump out and point the finger at F, or try to work out what was the first damage caused by car C?

Anyone know if Tony is ok? Thank you for enquiring, . . but apart from the after effects of laughing myself sick since last Sunday evening at all the ill-informed claptrap and gleefully snide remarks emanating from certain people over on CWDF, and to an extent here as well, I'm absolutely fine ! Initially I was inclined to respond to the speculative tripe being posted over the last three days, but on reflection I thought it best to give the perpetrators some more time and opportunities to make themselves look even more stupid than usual, . . and I couldn't be more delighted with the results ! The vessel concerned, "Selby Michael", is a 250-ton carrying capacity barge owned by my commercial carrying company and has been laid-up out of commission on it's C&RT allocated commercial mooring at Hazleford, on the Trent eight miles upriver from Newark, since 2014. The mooring is in fact a wharf above Hazleford Lock formerly used for loading or unloading piling and other maintenance materials and equipment onto or from the now largely disposed of BWB fleet of Trent maintenance craft. The mooring was allocated to "Selby Michael" by C&RT's Newark office conditional on my permission for the Trust to temporarily move "Selby Michael" out of the way on the now very rare occasions when the wharf is needed for it's original purpose, and when it broke adrift last Sunday evening it was from where it had been temporarily moved to and moored by C&RT behind the bullnose below Hazleford Lock using only 2, or possibly 3, out of the total of 5 headropes, springs, and sternrope with which I had last left the vessel secured. There is also photographic evidence that when "Selby Michael" broke adrift the 'belt and braces' wire rope which had previously been rigged from the barge to the 'dropping down' bollard (for craneboats working on the weir) getting on for a boats length topside of the barge's wharf mooring was laying coiled up, along with the unused mooring ropes, on the barge's foredeck. I'm sure that the more intelligent and perceptive amongst those now reading this can see where this is going, . . but I'm afraid I'm beginning once again to convulse with uncontrollable laughter, . . and I'll have to finish this off later ! I'm going to try and write up a few more details about this, . . please bear with me, . . I might not get very far before unbridled mirth gets the better of me again ! Before going any further into this, it needs to be made abundantly clear that had C&RT's now customary failure to face up to their responsibilities and do their duties resulted in someone being injured or killed last Sunday evening, then this saga would be anything but funny! As far as I know they've got away so far with not yet seriously injuring anyone operating their disintegrating canal locks, and of course, they got away without drowning a good many of the inhabitants of Whaley Bridge last year, and now, as far as is known with reasonable certainty, "Selby Michael" damaged only property when it was left by the Trust to break loose from where they had temporarily moored it during the last 4 months of severe flooding, away from it's allocated mooring and on at least two ropes and a wire rope less than it would normally be secured with. I think now that some time should be taken to think about the implications attached to the alleged damage to moored craft and landing stages. First thing to consider is the question of the damage to the moored craft at Fiskerton and the damaged landing stage at Farndon. In light of the immense trouble and expenditure those nice people at C&RT have gone to over the last 3 or more years to prove to the Courts and the boating public that the main navigable channel of the river Trent between Shardlow and Gainsborough extends over every inch of the river from bank to bank, it is not unreasonable to ask if the craft at Fiskerton and the pontoons at Farndon, secured as they are well out into the main navigable channel, are in fact a hazard and obstruction to navigation. It also, of course, begs the question of whether or not anyone, either individual or navigation authority, can be held to account for damage caused by passing vessels, whether under command or not, to vessels and/or structures obstructing the main navigable channel of a commercial waterway such as the river Trent. Sorry, . . . more uncontrollable fits of laughter beginning again, . . . I'll try again later !

I do wonder though how many letters will be charged to CRT from the solicitors over this, yet more money wasted which could be spent in better places.
As long as you can have a laugh about it though its alright.
