My good news of the day was successfully applying for free ear wax removal at the local pharmacy. They are offering 'micro suction' which is apparently a lot better and more comfortable than the old syringing method. They wanted 6 volunteers for free of charge treatment on a training day later this month. Normal cost £60. A quick look in the ears, mine were quite bad, I'm now signed up. What?

Unexpected stay on the boat last night and tonight - very peaceful even though we stayed in the marina. 425 mile drive back tomorrow (Friday before bank holiday) which I am not looking for. Boat looking really grubby, we will need a major exterior clean before setting out on our summer trip.

I’ve been waiting for a new rudder for my glider that was damaged in Storm Gerrit (27/12/23). After much frustrating waiting it was due to arrive at the UK agent today but he said he was going to Spain at 12:00 for a week, no time to forward it on to me so yet another week wasted - and we have our “Mayfest” thing starting next week. Very frustrating. Tracking showed it was dropped off around 3pm after he had left.
But the good news was that he was “weathered off” (presumably he was flying himself to Spain) so he was back at his premises later. But the box was damaged and would have to be rebuilt before forwarding on to me so no chance of doing that today. As luck would have it, the actual rudder wasn’t damaged.
I asked if I could come and collect it. He said yes, no problem. Only thing is that I was in Aberdeen and him in Aylesbury, over 500 miles away. Well nothing for it but to get in the car and drive to boat, where we have just arrived. Tomorrow, Aylesbury out and return, then Friday back to Aberdeen.
A lot of driving but we get a couple of nights on the boat and I get the rudder in time for next week.

Let me know if you'd like me to speak to the boatyard (about a mile down the Douglas from Tarleton) and arrange a Low Water layover berth on their floating stages." Thanks but I think the first time I do the transit I will just “go with the flow” ie go along with everyone else. Once I have seen the actual situation on the ground (water) I might think differently.

The responses are interesting. I wouldn’t cross the road to piss on most people on this form even if you were on fire. The question remains why turn this forum into a miniature cwdf when it was set up to be an alternative. With a bit of luck I am one of those who you wouldn’t cross the road to piss on, and I can only see this as a good thing.

Its just laughable, poor little lamb he is, everyones against him, everyones had it easy but him!😢 FFS, Just delete yourself and fuck off, give us all a break from your self pity bollox! 🙄 I've met Kris a couple of times and he's a thoroughly decent bloke. I've no idea what is going on in his life but he is obviously feeling the need to "vent". Hopefully better days are around the corner. I met him once. I thought he was a bit odd, somewhat sociopathic, if harmless. Surprisingly old considering his internet persona is truculent teenager. I’m sorry if he is having a hard time but ultimately you get back what you give, and he mostly gives anger and hatred (not to mention hypocrisy). If having a hard time, be nice. Then everyone will be nice back to you. It’s quite simple really.

There definitely was a brexit issue because (as I recall - could be wrong again) the website administer on canalworld sent a pm to all members urging them to vote against brexit. Not appropriate. Well I never received one.

Just as I would have expected people telling me I’m mad, that I’m wrong. That what I’ve experienced on this forum is wrong. You can not invalidate my experience it is as valid as an one else’s on this board. I don’t have to provide you with evidence to prove anything. I believe my senses they haven’t sent me very wrong so far in life. I only replied to Vince because I’ve met him in person and thought he was better than his internet persona on has become. I don't understand. All I have done is to ask you to expand on something I didn't understand. I haven't said anything to oppose your argument because frankly I don't know what it is. If it is something to do with the supplement for continuous cruisers I've already said I disagree with it. You've got to meet us half-way here Kris. None of us have got a Scooby what you are going on about. I think it is pretty clear that he is feeling miserable and wants to lash out at any and everyone. Perhaps we should be sympathic, but I am not. It is fine to say you are feeling down, I would be sympathetic. It is not fine to simply lash out at anyone who happens to be in the vicinity in some stupid attempt to make yourself feel better.

Just as I would have expected people telling me I’m mad, that I’m wrong. Spreading assertions about my health based on nothing but your imaginations. That what I’ve experienced on this forum is wrong. You can not invalidate my experience it is as valid as any one else’s on this board. I don’t have to provide you with evidence to prove anything. I believe my senses they haven’t sent me very wrong so far in life. I only replied to Vince because I’ve met him in person and thought he was better than his internet persona on has become. The condescending attitude of some people on here to presume to know what’s going on with me and give their prognosis is frankly disgusted and stinks of people being full of their self importance. Ps Andrew this forum was set up specifically because people got baned from cwdf for talking about crt. So there’s need to set a Facebook page up to be critical of crt, this is it. So maybe if you don’t like that, you should stick to posting on cwdf. Not that you are judging anyone, of course.

He's gone. Well he will go once a replacement has been selected from the large pool of other totally useless SNP politicians.

Further developments today it seems. Quite a chaotic and troubled situation it appears. Rog Yes. Jeff and I are loving it! The arrogant zealots are finally demonstrating that Scottish independence is NOT the will of the people, contrary to their constant ramming of this point down everyone’s throats. The simple fact is that the SNP did not get the majority of the vote. And I can see that share of the vote dwindling at the next election - hopefully with a few of them with criminal records!

The arrogance of people on here that they think they are in a position to sit in judgment of other humans, never fails to amaze me. Yes, but could you point me to an example of somebody doing this? Or even just name the poster you feel is doing this so I can go and look for myself? He has provided several posts exemplifying the issue. All written by himself of course.

The arrogance of you thinking I need to provide you with anything is part of the problem. If you really can’t see that, then there is no point. Who are you to sit in judgment of any one? I think you are going barking mad again. You bang on about other people being judgemental whilst being the most judgemental member of this forum, as demonstrated by your recent posts.
