I tend to agree with Admiral that left to nature wooden boats have a melancholic charm. This one at Grendon looked rather good back in summer. Rog

I tend to agree with Admiral that left to nature wooden boats have a melancholic charm. This one at Grendon looked rather good back in summer. Rog So, . . Alice thinks that's a wooden boat, eh, . . is he blind AND stupid, or just plain stupid ? Where, or from whom does Alice pick-up such notable gems of truly outstanding knowledge, and such great powers of observation, . . it surely can't be out of his own empty head ? Could it be that best pal, inspirational guide and mentor, Vince Shit-for-Brains Coventon has put Alice wise to the benefits to be had from the the ultimate handbook and guide for complete wankers, . . perhaps even sharing his own personalised copy of Canal Plan AC with him, . . whatever that might be ! Or, . . perhaps it's another specimen of the dregs of humanity advising him, . . someone against whose backside Alice's nose and lips are permanently pressed, . . and who gets a 'dogless likes this' vote for every vacuous post he makes. None other, of course, than mindless arsewipe, kris, . . the official keeper of Shit-for-Brains Coventon's vital spare supplies of cardboard box packaged brain transplant organs. Never having enjoyed the privilege of drawing from the vast reserves of knowledge and experience of such giants of the inland waterways myself, . . I have to be content with just knowing that the pictured boat is in fact an ex-Fellows, Morton & Clayton iron/composite horse-boat, or butty. If there was more detail round the boat's fore-end visible in the photo, I'd be able to say, with absolute certainty, who built it, . . and at which yard. From what can be made out of the lines and shape above the top guard, and in way of the deck bulkhead, it looks like a horseboat, or a butty that FMC would have built themselves at their (Birmingham) Saltley Dock.

Chilly but pleasant day. Enjoyed a short cruise and then a walk. Rog ETA A wooden top which is deteriorating rather attractively ... but you're not really interested, just looking for opportunities to hurl insults. That's fine 😁

Always worth genning up on Boat terms. I rather like 'gripe' I rather like “pointy end” and “blunt end”. But I still get confused which is which,

The blunt end is what they hit you with, the pointy end is for stabbing.

No not that one.
I have been called up to act for my country in active secret service in Montevideo.
Don't know what it is about yet. Briefing later today in the S. Oxon HQ bunker.
